I yell alot
9l per 100km is amazing
Thanks Scotty, it's nice to see a mechanic that is HONEST ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE KNOWLEDGE, THANKS AGAIN SCOTTY!
Scotty, used for commercial use!
I found it hard to believe that a full-sized, 4x4, V8 pickup gets 22MPH So, based on data from 166 vehicles, 14,968 fuel-ups and 4,453,614 miles of driving, the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.43 with a 0.05 MPG margin of error.
Extended warranties are a total scam, got one for my Mazda, but when the freeze plug came out at 3000 miles, they said they wouldn’t cover it because the extended warranty didn’t cover the cooling system. Basically, there were so many exemptions, that the extended warranty was useless.
Totally agree. My Buick Enclave engine totally broke at 38k miles. Factory warranty and extended warranty all refused to cover
I never got those extended warranty I just think it's a rip-off sorry that this happened to you stay away from those things you're just wasting your money what you could do is that money that you would be paying for the warranty every month put that money and save it. so when your car breaks down you will have couple dollars to fix it.
@@carlawilliams8136 Good idea! Thanks
Toyota honors extended warranty. I have had several items covered under it. For those who don't honor warranty....sue
Did you read a copy the written warranty or did you just sign where you were told?
The GMC and Silverados were built on the same assembly line in Silao Mexico. This guy actually took care of his truck and didn't beat it to an early death like SO many these days.
Yea he really baby it, thats good but sometimes you want a car that can take beatings sometimes
@@FriedGreenCarrots He babied it? Did you not hear Scotty say what he uses that truck for?
@@FriedGreenCarrots He took care of it, ya know change the oil, etc.more often than once every few years...
GMC and Chevy are virtually the same truck. And yes they are made in the same factory .
They originally came with a free burrito kit in the glove box.
I'm surprised the dealer didn't say anything like "do you know how many trucks this person has bought from GM and you're going to fight over a broken bolt?"
Agree!!!
I know, it must cost them what, like a couple dollars and not even half hour of labor...
I love that Scotty is honest about the quality of vehicles
My Mom has my Grandparents old 2007 Tahoe LTZ. It has 431,000 kilometres or 267,000 miles on it. Still going strong. Original engine and transmission. It only broke down once because it needed a new battery.
A friend of mine who lives here in salt belt CT bought a 2016 black GMC Serra crew cab same as this
He traded a mint 1994 diesel ford F250 lifted
That was a manual shift.
The only complaint he had about his GMC is that it only comes in automatic
He loves it. Much smoother less bumpy rocky and quieter ride and solid
Has not had not 1 single issue with it since he bought it in 2017. It was a new left over got cheap (cuz it was a last years model!😂 saved $8k off the MSRP)
He got it at the right time cuz reg gas prices here at that time got up to $4.75 a gal and diesel was even more.
I removed the bolts on my 2014 sierra in 2016 and replaced them with ARP studs and nuts. no problems and they still look great.
ARP 👍
I almost bought a used truck from a national used car dealer but found out before I signed that there was a known issue with some air pump. They offered an extended warranty for extra but I wasn’t sure because my past experience was the warranty did not cover everything they led me to believe they would. They brought in the service manager and he assured me that he could write up the service ticket to assure the warranty would cover any work. I realized I was in the company of crooks and walked out. Never been back.
That doesn't sound like crooks at.... they were trying to help by fixing the truck before u buy which every dealership does before u buy.... then the extended warranty is all about reading can't do anything else besides read and sign lol
@@cormaro13 Are you serious or delusional? I've seen videos that mechanics have posted of used cars that customers have bought and bring in for a rattle. Getting the thing up in the air reveals the frame is totally rusted through and that a piece of metal bar has been bolted across the gap and bolted on with bolts from Home Depot. Look up "Dealership Scams" and you see page after page of things dealers have tried, some going back to the 30's and using sawdust in a tranny to smooth it out long enough to get it off the lot. Scammers ARE crooks. The service rep just told me he could word the writeup to validate the warranty. Don't be naive. I use to be young and stupid, then I learned from my mistakes.
I got lucky with the one and only extended warranty I ever bought. It was for my 1996 Plymouth Neon. A cooling fan failed and my engine overheated in traffic at around 40K, blowing the head gasket and warping the heads. The EW picked up the entire cost.
The lesson, though, wasn't that EW's are a good value. The lesson was not to buy crappy cars. That Neon was nothing but trouble. I traded it in at 63k miles, and never looked back.
same here. unfortunately, bought a 2016 Chevy Malibu with the Ecotech engine. Head gasket failed at 90,000 miles and five years. Extended warranty paid for the fix at the dealership. Was a $2500 fix, including the two-week rental car. All paid under warranty. Sold that car as soon as possible afterwards.
@@KaiPonte They tried to sell me the same model year 3.5 years ago with that engine. I just decided i couldn't trust it and didn't get it. Your story proves i did the right thing.
@@Geforcepat Yep! I had GM from my '65 Corsair, '95 GMC Jimmy, '05 Saturn Vue (with a Honda V6), '06 Avalanche, and '16 Malibu hybrid. The '16 will be my last. (I may still grab a '65 to '69 Corsair for an electric swap.)
Yes Chrysler started going bad after Lee iacoca took over the company
@@steveeddy6876 Without Lee Iacocca there would be no Chrysler today.
Yeah, I agree, these things sound like a total scam. The fine print probably reads that if your car breaks down on a day of the week that ends in 'Y', your 'warranty' is null and void. Scotty knows what the hell he's talking about and is a national treasure.
I had an 1985 Chevy full size van with a warranty. At 70K miles the transmission died. Fixed under warranty. One day out of the shop the alternator quit also covered.
Had a broken exhaust manifold bolt on my 2011 Sierra 6.2L. Fixed it with the clamp system from Kral Auto. Works great.
I've never bought an extended warranty. When you look at the fine print there are nothing but loop holes. You're more or less throwing your money away.
I visited the Oshawa truck plant in Canada. The gmc and chevys are produced back to back on the same line.
I've had extended warranties with past and current vehicle. Never once had an issue with submitting a claim for repairs.
Good point Scotty some dealers don't honor Warrantys I worked at Ford Dealership s for many years
Im the same. Had a few 90s Gms. Built solid. Had 2 post 07 chevys. Both junk. One lost a motor, one a transmission(2500hd) before 120k. They also still have the lifter issue 15 years later! 15 years and they refuse to fix it! Now have a Tundra and I love it. Wont be going back.
Informative as always
I’m tired of people buying crap too! (Hyundai Kia) 😏
My dad's got a 98 Sierra, with over 300,000 miles, original engine, differential, transmission, and I think original suspension too (the thing creaks and groans, but damn does it still run!). It's still doing good despite my dad forgetting to change the oil. My 02 Envoy XL has almost 250,000, original engine, differential, rebuilt transmission, and mostly original suspension (outer tie rods and CV axles). It's odd to me how different GMC and Chevy build their vehicles even though they're EXACTLY the same but rebadged.
My dad got the extended warranty for an S10 p/u he bought new. I thought he was nuts cause he never kept his trucks long. He put over 100k on it, and when the motor went, they replaced it. Cost him $100. I was shocked they honored the warranty
I have a 2016 Sierra. On the inside of the door it says assembled in fort Wayne Indiana. Had a 97 k1500. Was a good truck. Ill see how this GMC is but thinking next id pick up a older 5.7 tundra trd package.
Scotty
You say GMC hold up better than Chevy...I have to disagree. I have a 2013 Silverado with the 4.3 V6. It has 288,000 miles on it. It is my daily driver, I drive 124 miles round trip a day, 5 days a week. My transmission has NEVER been serviced, and it shifts like it should. I have replaced 1 set of plugs, 1 battery, 5 sets of tires, 1 set of rear brakes and 3 sets of front brakes, 1 water pump just last winter. I replace the 1pc belt every year, just because. I have replaced 1 throttle body 2 years ago. Other than that, it is all original. Believe it or not, even all of marker bulbs and turn signal bulbs are original. I have had to replace headlight bulbs twice. With 288k and running smooth as silk, I can and will NEVER complain about my Silverado. It has been the best vehicle I have EVER owned.
Dave
This Sierra owner is top notch when it comes to maintenance. I can only imagine how incredibly he treats his own cars besides the 89 Sierra.
agreed, it looks better than many trucks with half the mileage
You are right. My 2003 Silverado was one of last great ones. I would by another from that year in a minute
I've got a 2017 LTZ silverado that is the literal equivalent to this truck and to this point it has been a very good pickup for me, but it also has about 100k miles less than this one too. I did put a superchips on it to remove MDS and also had the transmission thermostat replaced with the lower temperature OEM one to get the best longevity out of my truck, but we shall see.
Always say no to the extended warranty and put that money into a repair fund instead. When your car is outside it's manufacturers warranty use your repair fund. Most people never even use their extended warranties and stealerships know this.
I love my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, it has the 5.3L v8 and 6 speed automatic transmission, it has almost 49000 miles.
I know guys that have had the frames sprayed with Line-X and that seals them from rusting permanently. Btw what's wrong with buying some more 89 c1500 for company vehicles? They're built a lot better than the new junk.
Car looks fantastic ! Here in Europe, you would be the King of the Road
I bought a new 2004, fairly plain but nice enough LS trim level, Chevy 2500 Silverado duramax 4X4. Still have it. It looks like maybe 3 years old, is perfect. Nothing has been replaced except the in-tank fuel pump when it was nearly new. Just failed, no idea why. That’s it. I’ve got nothing bad to say about that Chevy truck. It pulls, runs great, everything works, nothing is worn out. Truthfully it steers like an aircraft carrier. So I drive it at a stately pace. All good.
At one time I worked for 2 different extended warranty companies, one in the field the other in an office, I was told to deny claims for any small infractions, including if they missed a oil change by date or a minimal amount of mileage, they are definitely a rip off, o don’t think the movie stars that do their commercials have vehicles that need extended warranties
You saying your boy Ice-T has no extended warranty!? That mf 😁
My transmissions with my 2018 go out every 60k miles. Torque converter and transmission pump. Also, I was getting low voltage and electrical issues when I used those pads for the rods on the battery connection. Was holding the clamps too high.
How do you feel about the Tacoma truck for personal use? I'm on the east coast down south. What truck do you recommend for heavy duty work?
i legit don’t know how GM is still doing business and how people still blindly buy from them
People still buy them for feeling pride in buying American and or also they have had a family member use to work at the plant or something
I don't know either, lol
Because the majority of GM owners have nothing wrong with their vehicles. You are looking at less than 2% of all the vehicles put out by GM having issues, and that isn’t enough to warrant a lemon law recall or anything similar.
Lots of people will do whatever the TV tells them to 😂
Hmmmm toooo many BONG HITS 😂
I bought my '01 Silverado brand new and it is still perfect at 165K miles. Always synthetic oil from 10K miles on. Only things I've had to do is water pump at 110K and fuel pump at 105K. Still tows great too. Though mine was built in Canada eh
That's one of the best ones.
The only decent Silverado’s were the 1st gen. After that, they were all junk.
A water Pump at 110k. And A fuel pump at 105k... My 82 Toyota supra that's 40 yrs old has the original parts at 245k .. Modern GM's ate pieces of crap ..
@@randalllown6425 I would love to see your supra tow my toy hauler, boat, cord of firewood, dirt bikes in the back, help your friends move etc for 22 years...go have a bud light, you've earned it 🤡
That's very low miles for an 01. My 2014 is almost at your mileage and I haven't had to replace anything in it except for battery and alternator, but GM trucks are supposed to be "junk" right. I guess it's all about how you treat them
Where are the GMC's made vs. the Silverado's? It would be interesting to know.
Sitting in a GMC look to fit very well to you Scotty.
My 2007 GMC Yukon has 800,000, original transmission, original everything. The only problem is the seats(the leather has scratches and cracks in it)
They are almost ALWAYS a scam.
RP342 is a pretty good coating cause it's military grade cosmoline. You can coat the frame yourself save money for better protection.
My mom bought a Chrysler town and country in 2009 and it still has the og motor and transmission and it still has the warranty,
92 ..gmc sierra slx 1500 v6 ....works great !
I have a 94’ Jeep Cherokee sport that a bolt broke off the exhaust manifold.. ugh
hey scotty i live in buffalo ny and i use Fluid Film to coat my 2018 tahoe with a paint brush ya that wax crap sucks on these frames...fluid film on the axles and frames work great on my GM trucks.
I can't believe nobody knows what that bolt really is! It's an exhaust manifold bolt. With the steel bolts/studs and aluminium heads, they react to heat differently. This is a VERY common problem on GM and Ford trucks.
Exact same bolt on my 14’ Chevy is missing. How weird. Since day one
I bought my 2004 Silverado Z71 brand new, drove it 225K and only needed consumables (tires, brakes, batteries) and eventually needed an alternator, a power steering cooler, and the dash needed new stepper motors. I gave it to my oldest grandson about 2 years ago and he is still driving it with the original 5.3, trans, and the entire original 4x4 system (transfer case, differentials, etc) and it has over 260K now. Replaced it with a 2021 Silverado RST Z71 with the 3.0L diesel getting an average of 27.5 MPG going off pump receipts. Take care of maintenance and they can take care of you!
He is right about Chevy Vs. GMC, I found the same thing with all the rigs I owned. GMC is great quality. Chevy has always been OK. It is strange, I had an 87 s15 Jimmy, a friend of mine got the S10 Chevy, same engine, same everything. I dove mine several years longer and many more miles than his Chevy.
Back in the 70's & 80's I recall that GMC was to CHEVY what Lincoln Mercury was to FORD... more whistles and bells, and the perception of a higher standard of quality control.
I change practically nothing on my 2001 Dodge Dakota, 200k miles, runs like a champ!
How about the extended warranties for Toyota?
So when I get the courtesy call to extend my warranty, I should decline?
I would be standing in front of the dealership with a sign , telling them not to get the extended warranty, they don't honor it.
my 2000 gmc had 4 studs on each side rot off fixed it my self, gm says its not a safety issue so it aint under warranty or recall.
Based on data from 166 vehicles, 14,968 fuel-ups and 4,453,614 miles of driving, the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.43 with a 0.05 MPG margin of error. Now, how does this full-sized, 4X4, V8 engine pickup get 22 MPH?
"Oh yeah, I'm turning over there" LMFAO 🤣
Need some help with my 2021 Ford Transit. At 73 mph and above, there is an ungodly humming coming from the back which echoes in the cabin. It’s so loud I have to wear headphones. It’s been like this since it was new. I know it’s the carrier bearing on the driveshaft and Ford knows the previous models had constant problems, but they claim it was fixed for 2021. Well, it wasn’t. How do I force them to fix it cuz it’s nigh undriveable.
2018 GMC. Everything runs good, but you will have to replace transmission every 80k miles.
I gave up on GM when they took the bailout money and became Government Motors…
Scotty is the best he knows it all and glad he made one about the gmc bc I’m fixing to buy me one soon thanks Scotty
I have a 2016, with 88,000 when I bought it in Houston. Had my spark plugs change and mechanic told me I have two bolts broke off. And had other issues. Made a bad choice getting this truck on a loan.
He shouldn't be plowing with a half ton truck no matter what make.
I do… lol. if it’s just one or two driveways, I don’t see it as a big deal. Single cab 2010 does a good job.
Wow 😂 You opened the hood pretty quick .
I purchesed Chevy Silverado, before relising my truck dealer wornd me " Do not install plow or your warranty will be eliminated".
When I was offered extended warranty I said to the salesperson, mmm, you are telling me that this is liable to break after a year, don’t think I’ll bother with this I’ll go elsewhere and see if I can get a better one, the look on that person’s face was priceless eventually got the so called warranty as it was for my brother and he wanted it but got it for a third of what they wanted I think it was to get me out of the place and stop drawing attention
Most of those bolts can be taken out easily. I had a few. Just vise grip most. And weld on a nut!
Save your old nuts with screwed up threads. The heat/expansion from the weld helps crush the corrosion lock up. Smile.
Cheaper made as the years went on. My 96 silverado has way bigger exhaust manifold bolts and not one broken! My 01 silverado has the same issue on the 5.3l broken exhaust manifold bolts.
I bought a charger 2.2 Omni back in 1984 and it came with a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty. And Chrysler didn't even honor its warranty . Had engine problems and was in Wisconsin at the time at a dealership that would not fix it. Told me to take it back to Michigan were I bought it to get it fixed. A 10 maybe 12 hour ride one way. Needless to say I only got 100,000 miles out of that car and it was dead three head gaskets later.
Hmmmm head gasket Headache?
@@steveeddy6876 that's why I don't buy Dodge vehicles at all. You can't even give me one I will sell it.
My 2010 sierra 4.8l has 244,000 currently, it was a company vehicle well taken care of, like this owner. Only had to do a leaf and a fuel pump in the 5 years I've owned it. I don't want anything newer, in fact, when she dies I'm guna find an exact replacement. She's been a great truck.
My torque converter took a dump and ruined the whole transmission. The all-inclusive total was $6500 for a factory reman, my extended warranty covered all but $2200 because they wanted to replace it with a used transmission so I paid the difference for the factory reman... so the warranty saved me $4300.
LS manifold bolts are notorious for breaking off. A steel bolt through a cast manifold into aluminum. What could go wrong? Weld a nut on it and back it out. I had 7 broken bolts on my 6.0 manifolds. It started to make a helluva racket😂
So I had a ram that the ball joints were worn and asked if it was warranties under the power train. Nope it was a suspension part. Why in the crap is the ball joint a suspension part. I suppose with that logic the wheel bearings are as well and the radiator is part of the body
I had an extended warranty through Century I think it was. They took care of two inner tie rods, my infotainment (entire thing was replaced), and my air conditioned seats. (Last Ford I'll own 😂 )
I had a good experience with them but I agree as a whole it's not a great idea.
I've heard the same thing from former Chevy owners who switched to GMC & they had much better luck with the GMC over the Chevy. I also read this same results in a few truck magazines and seen on videos, strange 🤔.
I’m told the difference is the GMC is a Chevy with most of the kinks worked out
Did Scotty say that trailer brake controller was to level the load 😹
That tells you everything.
My 2006 2500 still has half the factory coating on it, still has stickers on it yet my 2015 has just as much come off already. Prices go up, quality goes down 🤷.
I had a 2014 Silverado with the 5.3 and 6 speed. Bought it with 100k on it. It had 255k when I traded it in. Transmission started to go. Should have changed the fluid more often. He should really look into eliminating the transmission thermostat. Trans will run much cooler! I didn't know about that until after I traded it.
I have a 2019 with 35000 miles on it. Bought a year ago for $35000. I get between 23 & 26 mpg. Now, it is a 2nd but I wouldn’t get rid of my truck even it I could double my money.
My 2018 Silverao 57k miles TQ blew out and GM replaced under warranty. 200 miles later TQ went out again. I traded it in I WAS DONE.
I wish I could find a mechanic like in my area....the mechanics here don't seem to kno anything or kno what they r doing....im in a sad situation in New Jersey 😢😢
Good Ole massachusetts vehicle! I live in western mass and the salt really eats at the metals
NH too
Even if a clutch plate on a manual transmission wears prematurely due to a manufacture fault, it should be covered by warranty.
When I boughtmy 19 silverado a "New Transmission" for 6200, is that a rebuilt or out of crate?
I have an '04 Sierra 1500 SLE RWD 5.3L with 213K on it. Aside from the very typical rusting rocker panels, there is nothing wrong with this truck. And I'm not a hard driver, but I don't baby it either. After all, it's a truck. It's not supposed to be shiny and with luxury items. I love this dang thing!
2 years ago, my son and I drove my grandson down to Daytona Beach for college. I towed his car, and we drove straight through. On the way back, when my son was behind the wheel, I looked over and said to him, "The 95 on the signs denote the interstate number, not the speed limit." V-8, baby!
Thank that 5.3
I paid 43k OTD for that same truck in black in 2017..brand new. It’s an SLT. You can’t even touch a shitty custom for that anymore.
gmc canyon durable and reliable truck?
What you think about sierra 2006
Also have and steering wheel noise when turning left or right
I have always been a chevy person. I have better luck with them. I had a 1999 siverado with 300.00 miles when I had to trade it in on a car to take my mom back and forth to the doctor. It purred like a kitten..
I gave up on GM over 20 years ago.
1999. Never looked back.
They covered my transmission , brake booster ,electric louvers in the front grill that open and close for air intake . Better not to have them obviously. Would have cost me thousands to replace
I am 47 years old and I had about 20 cars in my life. I had a 1989 GMC Sierra back in 1992 with low miles and it's the worst vehicle out of all the vehicles that I had owned. Everything other than the engine broke on it transmission 3 times differential alternator starter water pump fuel pump intake manifold gasket suspension ball joints tie rod ends up joints carrier bearing on and on and on. Did I mention it guzzled gas? Junk. Bought Nissan pick up hard body after that and I could not have been happier
These trucks had so many water leaks around the antenna and brake light. As well as drivetrain and transmission problems. Basically typical gm truck quality.
Ford builds better HD trucks lately... GM hasn't been good since early 2000's!
I would have contacted the DMV regarding the warranty policy if it was rejected since a regulated auto manufacturer or dealer didn't abide to their contractual warranty obligations. Last I checked, everything that's connected to the powertrain is part of the powertrain and it's warranty, it's even in the dictionary what a power train is.
Why the dmv specifically?
@J Beck They're the regulator in the US and have the ability to suspend their operating licenses.
@@TimTVOfficial interesting. Good to know for my current situation. Thanks
Son is trained (Honda PACT) but doesn't work as a mechanic. He prefers the Chevy/GMC brand used trucks because he says there's an abundance of (junkyard) parts.
Scott - is Yukon duramax worth the buy considering all issues
I had an extended warranty on my 2015 Yukon Denali from Zurich….It covered the vehicle bumper to bumper to 100,000 miles. It more then payed for itself with all the ac repairs, taillight assembly replacement, magnetic ride control shock replacements and several other things….I am fortunate that the dealer I use is excellent and has always treated its customers well.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏….I have also been on the other end of this spectrum where the warranty coverage was denied at first until I had to argue my case….it shouldn’t be this way…
Surprise the heater core ain’t leaking
Scotty said a used car must be checked before buying. Its way easy to check a manual transmission. And lasts for ever.
