- In part two of our discussion with the owner of a million mile 2007 Chevy Silverado, we ask him about his half million mile 2015 GMC Sierra. Both HD trucks have a Duramax diesel engine and he uses them the same although one is a dually and the other is a single rear wheel. Check out what this professional RV hauler has to say about both trucks.

Here is part 1 of this video series: czcams.com/video/v8SNMebcb5Q/video.html
I’m sitting in my truck for nearly an hour now watching two guys talking about Gm trucks in front of my house, its 2:40 Am 🙂 this was an amazing interview. Thank y’all and be safe
Thank you for watching! Please go to bed. 😂
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk 😂😂😂😂
I could listen to this guys knowledge all day long. Great video. I hope GM reaches out to him, he deserves it.
Thanks for watching!
They should give him a new 2020.
Jordan Scheurer ...I totally agree...
Even if they just reached out to him and thanked him for being a customer.
@@roninkraut6873They would rather have him buy/lease a new truck every 2 years.
Phenomenal video series. The best videos are the guys with lots of miles. They have the true stories on these vehicles.
Thanks for watching. More to come! I really like these stories.
Once again, great job. Please do more feature stories with real folks like this.
Thanks!
I could listen to this gentleman talk all day he is a treasure chest of knowledge for truck geeks like myself
Man I just love those first generation Silverados and Sierras. They're so cozy and (in my opinion) absolutely gorgeous! Perhaps I just get nostalgic over them because I've been around them basically my entire life, but I can't get enough of them. Every single one we've had or still have, have been absolute troopers.
I went from an 07 LBZ to a 15 LML and my god do I miss that 07’s interior.
I never thought that there was someone else that felt the same way looking and remembering those late 90's early 2000's Silverados like me. I have a newer sierra and recent model suburban and I still hoping to buy a silverado from that great era.
May be because I always wanted one back then but I was too young. But as soon as I could I brought me a 2000 extended cab S-10 manual transmission. It wasn't the Silverado but that little truck made me happy until I put 230k miles on it and gave it away.
GMT800, GMT400 was 1987-2000, their Trim lines had Silverado.
Whats Sad is the GMT800 will outlast anything on the Road from all truck builders today
Always loved the cat eye Silverado.
Roundbody guy myself, I've owned 2, but I do have to say, cat eye duallys are some gorgeous machines.
Excellent video! 1,000,000+ WORKING miles! Great job Tim finding such an interesting guest! Love them Chevys!
Thanks!
508,000 miles is even very impressive!
Agreed!
I like that he didn't delete. I live in Massachusetts, it's hard to delete and pass inspection, if I moved I would go to the west coast, even more strict. Plus you know, clean air isn't a bad thing.
Def is unreliable from a maintenance point and also regens waste time. All a scam.
He is a good man. I enjoy listening to his experiences with those 2 trucks.
Thanks!
I hope everyone understands that highway miles are 10% of the “wear and tear of city driving. I love the “egg on the gas pedal metaphor from the first video. He babies it but “the power is there when you need it. Remember that, guys.
Towing empty, sure. Towing loaded down? Eh. Not so sure.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I baby my '15 6.7, loaded or not.
bill stewart so did this guy which is why it looks so good!
..This guy is an engineer plus he coaches and drives in HPDE (high performance driving experience) on a road course so he truly knows how to put the hammer down and car control, my kinda guy.
What? "highway miles are 10% wear and tear of city driving?". I'm not sure that's the case. If it was, why do Toyota engineers buy back their 1000000 mile trucks to tear down and inspect if its roughly equivalent to 100,000 miles of city driving? This reminds me of myth that idling is significantly worse on an engine than loaded running.
Such a pleasure to hear information about the vehicle and not the doo dads on the infotainment system.
I thought so too. Thanks for watching!
these videos is as truth as I have ever found. Spanning 40 years of GM.. talks like this are good.
Thanks for watching!
This Smith dude is a truck STUD! GM needs to pony up and give this guy a new one like I read Toyota does after a million. I can't think of a better testament to their products that you never hear of. Awesome interview.
Thanks!
The new ones would just shit out cause they're designed like the the rest of them, built to fail early.
Really great information and I am impressed with the GM platform, where everyone is worried about a large screen and all you hear is blah blah, this guy knows if your gonna get a truck get a performing one. And don’t always rely on tech alone. Makes sense
Thanks.
Hmmmm my 13 Silverado Z71 had paint peeling and outward pertraing dings coming from the inside of the bedsides and rear bumper at only 50 000km I think that's only about 35 000 miles . I sold it 8000km later cause the junk 5.3 started using lots of oil I was worried it wasn't going to hit 100 000km before it died so glad it's gone never will I purchase a new GM ever again it's GM loss not mine I fought with GM over the paint and body defects aswell as the oil consumption they did finally put a new motor in a only 57 000km but wouldn't do nothing about there shit paint. Even though I did everything I could to prevent rock chips like gator back mud flaps driving very slow on grid roads. I felt like they should of owned up to there shit paint I didn't pay $50 000 for the paint to only last a year.
@@taylorh3930 Unfortunately you got a lemon
@@taylorh3930 are you in Canada? Chevy trucks tend to last a lot longer out side of rough weather. Where I live most Chevy are rust buckets. Cheap paint, cheap steel.
@@StoneyBaloneyUSA Ya I am Canadian eh
So much knowledge. Man I could just set my phone down and listen to this guy talk on the back porch. Wish I could go for a ride and just have a coffee. Cool person and great video. Makes me feel good about my new 19 dmax
Thanks for watching! He is quite a knowledgable guy.
you set that up then let me know and I want to come too.
I think it would be awesome to have this gentleman back on as a guest from time to time. He has a lot of knowledge to share and a very pleasant way of delivering it. Maybe every once in a while have him drop in and share some tales from the road or give follow up updates on his trucks. Thanks for posting this 2 part series, especially the one about the 07 with over a million miles and all original,most impressive.
Thanks. I'm sure Brook wouldn't mind being on video again. I'd just have to catch him passing by!
I agree. I like real-life truck stories on the real-life road. A million miles with many of them towing in extreme weather? That's cool.
This proves that no, you do not NEED to delete your truck to keep it running. From what I understood from this gentleman is read the manual, keep up on all maintenance, keep it stock, and don't drive it like a sportscar, and the stock emmissions system will last well beyond the time the owner has the truck.
Foster Schutt I was on the whole “delete everything” crowd in regards to trucks including my own ‘05 Duramax. I even put an EGR delete kit on my truck but I had a rubber hose blow apart from it and plus I was reading and my kit could cause up pipes to crack and I didn’t want to get into that mess so I cleaned up the factory EGR system and put it back on. If it worked fine for 14 years when my grandfather owned it previously why alter with it? Plus these systems nowadays have seemed to be greatly improved from when they were first introduced. Everyone freaked out when the catalytic converters were put on everything back in the 1970’s and 80’s but look how improved they are now. I feel it could be the same case regarding today’s diesels. It’ll just take time.
Don’t have to clean the DPF if it isn’t there. “Shit! I can’t believe it just fell off! I’ll get it fixed officer”
LOL. Good idea!
It'll only limit certain places you can go commercially, California, Ontario Canada etc. You'll be fine for most places tho, but commercial vehicles are treated nothing like privately owned vehicles. Certain companies will not even hire you if your emissions system is deleted....ask me how I know! My peterbilt 388 is fully deleted but I cut the number of companies that I'd be able to run for in more then half by doing so.
Ya my dpf just fell off on the way home from the dealership
Saw that red truck for a few years before I left for boot camp and it always caught my eye any time I saw it when I was home. Never knew it had such a story. Glad to hear!
Thanks for sharing!
This guy is awesome, I'd love to talk to him about his job, the fact that he's into real racing is even better. I've often thought about hauling RV's, I'd have to buy a smaller truck tho.
These are two of your best videos. I have watched both of them multiple times.
Lbz does have an exhaust brake , they just didn’t put a switch for it , for 20 dollars I can turn it on and off in tow haul mode , works great and kicks off at 20mph
Thanks so much for sharing such a high volume of experience in an easy way to understand,
there's nothing that can beat experience that is shareable!
I truly enjoyed this video interview.....very knowledgeable subject who articulated his opinion very well in plain English... Thank You both!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting l!
This IS very interesting. I thank you gentlemen for your time.
Thanks for watching!
Another great video thank you I really enjoyed this.
Thanks for watching!
Refreshing to see in depth videos with an experienced person who uses his trucks for business vs the usual u tube stuff about power and dash gadgets and 2 year old trucks that are “dated”...
Thanks. Hope you stick around. Lots more coming!
Dam dudes got some knowledge
Great mentioning BMW CCA "Street Survival". It's a terrific one day ER skills learning day, on a closed course with a certified BMW CCA HPDE instructor in the passenger seat. My daughter did it twice in her car, year over year. She loved it. I also liked the conversation about exhaust braking, Allison tranny haul mode, etc. I love my 2016 LML dually, but the L5P engine is even better!
Thanks for bringing that up. He is quite proud of his work at BMW.
Highway miles **rolling eyes**
but most people will never understand ...........the wear and tear on a vehicle in the city versus the highway
He should do a dually conversion to his new truck. Best of both worlds!!
Great video series!!
Thanks for watching!
Gm should hire that guy because he definitely knows what he's talking about...
Thanks for the hard work! I have made a few cheesy CZcams vids and know how much work went into those. You are doing great. 👍
Thanks!
Any time we start talking torsional rigidity, I'm all in! Great interviews.
Sitting here watching this video and I own a ram..GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for commenting!
Both of these videos are excellent and I plan to watch more of them!!! I know exactly what he's talking about with the Montana winds as I live there. I do have a problem with the one part where he was talking about oil consumption. He said that you should check it when you fill up. I was taught by my dad (an excellent mechanic) that you ALWAYS check your oil when it's cold!!! Because when you do it when it's hot you aren't getting an accurate reading since you have oil all over the dipstick not just at the bottom of it! This same scenario reminds me of the way gas stations use to be where they would come out fill up the tank, wash your windows, check your oil, air up the tires and whatever else they did back then. So unless you have a couple hours or so to kill to let your oil cool and drain to the bottom of the pan so that you can check it and get an accurate reading, I wouldn't check it while your fueling up after just driving!!!
Interesting story on checking oil when it is cold. I've checked my oil when it is hot several times and never had an issue. Not calling your Dad a bad mechanic, just an interesting story.
...I was taught the same thing growing up by my dad and during my military training but I was also taught if you're running that equipment constantly you better do checks on fluids and tires on a regular basis or when you stop for fuel. It doesn't take but a few minutes for the oil to fully settle in the oil pan.
P.S. I grew up working around the farm smelling diesel fumes and I love and miss it.
I work at Allison's lol your welcome. Lol jk. Love this job and love that transmission. Some amazing minds working here.
😂 thanks!
I have 05 Silverado with 4.8l 217,000 miles all original powertrain
Nice! Keep it rollin'! Let me know when you hit a million. :)
My 4.8 Tahoe is at 250k
My 01 5.3l tahoe is at 260k original everything
My dad had an 03 sierra with the 4.8l as well with 330,000 miles of towing conduit trailers around and the reason he got rid of it was because of an accident. Best trucks ever made for sure though
..I've had my 01' 5.3 Tahoe for over 19 years and she's got over 270k miles and counting. I've done 1 water pump, 1 tune up, and 2 fuel pumps which could have been my fault with running fuel tank too low on a regular basis. I almost forgot about finally changing shocks last year for the first time and she only burns about 1/4 of a quart of oil inbetween oil changes when ever the oil change light comes on.
Here I am like a fly on the wall listening to two guys talk about GM truck. I'm learning a lot about GM after being disappointed by the new Tundra. Good videos, will be trading my '23 Tundra for a GM Duramax soon. Thank you for the content. By the way, I was over the road driver for few years so I can appreciate the conversation you two are having
Funny I was planning to get the new Tundra for my landscaping business but after seeing all the issues and also the almost same price for one I went and bought a 2023 Silverado HD. Much more truck than the new Tundra. Knock on wood first 15K in no issues at all. I use it for work 90% of the time too.
The best way to keep your DPF alive longer is to do manual regenerations with a proper quality scan tool whenever you feel it is necessary
I love my 2011 1/2 ton Lt Silverado
Probably a Miner alumnus! I undoubtedly predate Brook, '68 MAE. Lots of practical experience on all facets of his pickups. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
How did the suspension hold up? Did you have to replace any leaf springs or torsion bars?
most of the issues with the cp4 is resulting from poor quality fuel like water contaminated of additives that harm the pump. Yes they are overly sensitve to fuel quality but that doesnt mean that when you put shit fuel in that it is the pumps fault.
Great, great couple of vids Tim. Waiting on my 5th Duramax to be built. Maybe I should’ve just kept the 1st one I bought & mileaged it out........Hey Lamood hats rule!
Thanks for watching!
In regards to the CP4 failure. I'm a GM dealership employee, I've only seen 2 CP4 failures. Use a lubricity additive and it will likely be good for the life of the truck.
Thanks for commenting about the CP4 failure. It seems like a given with these trucks and, yet not everyone experiences it. I'll be watching the lawsuit I mentioned to see what comes out of it.
@@Pickuptrucktalk That lawsuit slightly irks me. As Ford is still useing the CP4 In the powerstroke, RAM started to use it in 2019. GM went to a Denso pump in 17 with the L5P.
@@terrencejones9817 Yeah, I'm trying to remember about the Ford and Ram differences and I think they use a separate lifter or something to get around the issue which is why the lawsuit only targeted GM. Sorry, it has been a while since I did this video, but I'm certain there is a design difference with Ford and Ram.
@@Pickuptrucktalk The aftermarket has bypass kits for the Ford at least.

@@terrencejones9817 because u cant swap a cp3 into a ford, physically wont fit. So they made a reroute kit
Yep good conversation . Thx
Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed your feature story, watched both parts in full & saved it, amazing one person putting that volume of miles on each p/up. I own 2004 Chevy Dually D/A 4x4 stock and am embarrassed to say just turned 40K miles (drive cars & MC's when p/up not needed). Almost all towing miles of lightweight travel trailer. Can't recall if he said no upgrades (except torque converter) meaning he runs no fuel performance programers? Did he say anything about belts hoses etc on life expectancy? Thank you.
Did he rotate the tires on the 07 when achieving 170,000+? If so what pattern?
He mentioned frame wax being taken off by the ice at one point. Did he put any aftermarket under coating on the 07?
Thanks in advance.
I like this fella.
Guys a legend
Awesome vid 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So good.
I'd actually like to learn driving instruction from this guy! I can tell he's very knowledgeable in the art and skill of driving and even racing. I could talk with someone like that all day. His points about driving aids are spot on and the analogy of storing phone numbers in your phone instead of memory.
Excellent!!
Thanks.
Like a rock
I would like to know some specifics between the trucks, such as rear differential ratio's. Is the Allison transmission in big red a 1000 5 speed? What is the HP and torque ratings between both trucks? Also, what air suspension is on both trucks and does he have on board compressors with auto. Thanks !!
You can look up the engine specs
Is there a way you can ask him about his maintenance program? Oil, filters how often ect...
10000miles
The Johnny Cash of diesels
I realize this is not a fix for everyone. But I think a sawzall would be the best fix for a plugged dpf
Federal crime btw.
Any idea what additive he uses?
Well,,, that was relaxing
If I was to take a truck that high mileage I would delete the emissions system.
Wish we could get an update on this man, is he using the lml still? Any new issues? Did he get a new truck? How many miles on the lml?
I keep in touch with Brooks. Not much has changed. He’s getting close to putting a million on the newer truck. Still has the red one. Not sure if he’s had any issues lately.
Tim I so wish J.D. was there with you during this video
I wish tow Piglet would watch this video, see what he thinks considering he always leases
Tow piglet isn't to bright!!
SRN *too
Don’t judge brightness when you can’t spell
I am serious you two remind me of the Sonic guys and you should talk some more.
He needs his own channel
Agreed. He could make a Plymouth Laser seem interesting.
The same Million mile Cummins has three engines, 12 transmissions. This guy doesn’t hardly change tires 😂
Ford did offer a I F S for the 250/350 in 96-98 models and it was problematic
What is his plan for the 15 with the more frequent Regen cycles? More Regen's require more fuel which causes more harm to the environment than the soot from the original diesel engine. Does he plan on replacing, deleting or finding a way to clean the DPF. I would think there would be a market for a DPF that could be removed, cleaned and reinstalled such as the bigger trucks are able to do. This should be required of the manufacture. The idea of buying another Platinum filter that has to be mined out of the ground causing more environmental harm seems counter productive!
He has had the DPF worked on a different intervals, this is I know. As to the future, that I can't say, we didn't really talk about the future of the 2015 GMC. Right now, he is still driving it.
I like trucks with MRI, COD, DRS, HPH, y’all know, all that mess. What about shocks, brakes, stuff like that? How long they last? An older gentleman? I resemble that remark!
We are planning a follow up to go over all these details.
Gm diesel joins gas Toyota territory😂 all jokes aside very impressive
Any idea how many engine hours these trucks have?
A lot? LOL. Sorry, no idea.
Reached out to Brook and got an update. Big Red has 20,000 hours, Morris has 11,000 hours.
Any advice on fuel additives for my 2016 LML? Live in Michigan, tow 10,500 TT.
We intentionally skipped the additive brand discussion because it gets so heated. I can tell you, he buys off the shelf additive from a major shopping chain.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Does he use it year round?
Big Pap Pap Brook, the guy in the video, does. Not sure if you were asking me.
Jason Keeling sounds like I should interview you next!
@@Pickuptrucktalk does it come in a gray bottle?
Not to knock on TFL truck but I get so much more out of videos like this than 10 Ike Gaunlet runs or other reviewers going on and on about stitching on leather seats, screen sizes and soft touch points. I wish someone had a Joe Rogan style interview show with industry engineers and designers or owners like this that have an idea of what they're talking about.
I’ll take that as a compliment. Big fan of Rogan. I have a playlist of engineer interviews. Maybe you’ve seen them?
@@Pickuptrucktalk Sorry I haven't seen them but will be checking them out.
What brand of oil this guy use? Thanks
He uses a major store bought synthetic oil. Sorry, we aren't going to release the brand names on the oil or fuel additive. We don't want these comments to turn into a brand bashing conversation.
@@Pickuptrucktalk everything turns into a brand bashing debate. It is what it is. But if you release the information then a large majority of us can benefit from that in taking our vehicles to higher mileages.
Clueless Blamer actually if I knew I’d say so. He refused to say. Sorry can’t help.
@@Pickuptrucktalk but your comment stated you know but just don't want to reveal... Pleaseeeeeeeee??? 😥
My CP4 went out at 137,000.
I got long way to go
It’s too bad that you cannot share the fuel additive and the oil brands that he uses without getting all the children riled up. I would love to know what brands he uses not for discussion but for his experiences.
Agreed. Yet, this is the internet and we all know how that works. LOL.
There is an EGR on the 07. Another great video thanks
Thanks!
@@Pickuptrucktalk did the owner not block the EGR off in his lbz? Would love to see a tear down on it if not when hes done with it lol
jclark I did ask him about modifications and the aftermarket torque converter is all he did. He didn’t tell me anything about blocking the EGR. Now, it is against Federal law to disable emissions systems and he wouldn’t want to tell me really if he did. With that said, he allowed me to video and photograph the engine bay, so... I don’t believe he did.
@@Pickuptrucktalk a blocker plate is pretty hard to see lol
@@agger838 LOL. Yeah, got me there.

Or you just delete it
hes number one in many categories longest lasting tires ever while towing or empty funny cause duallys wear tires almost twice as fast due to the crown of the road and weight again weird... ive never heard anyone that ran an automatic transmission hotter have one last any amount of time a hot dry clutch wears faster than a cold dry clutch same idea as in a fluid bath clutch although an automatic has a disadvantage as the clutch material will separate from the steal it is glued to when subject to hotter temps unlike a dry clutch that is riveted aka hotter automatic trans to gain fuel economy said no one ever among other things to keep this short i do not doubt the truck made it to 1 million miles how ever i highly again highly doubt what was said about how it got there was remotely the truth from a diesel mechanic to a mechanical engineer that puts sway bars under oil filters so you have to remove drive train items to do a simple oil change!
Great questions, excellent interview, Thank you!
It is refreshing to listen to a person that takes a logical intelligent approach to operating his vehicle. Verses some dimwit that says "tune and delete bro" simply because he is not willing or able to understand what he is doing to the drivetrain, engine life, warranty, and resale value. This is proof that stock emission intact trucks will go the distance when someone with a brain is behind the wheel.

We're have u found the worst drivers at?
I’m not saying this guy is lying but it’s hard for me to believe that a 2007 arleady has 1,000,000 miles without any specks or rust and that a 2015 arleady has 500k I’m not saying he’s lying but it’s really hard for me to believe and especially because none have had any work really
His story on Saskatchewan winter driving....yawn. I live in SK, in a remote northern area. -30c is nothing! My 2015 duramax has froze up multiple times leaving me stranded, even with a winterfront on. My “reliable ride” is a 2008 Tundra with 250k...the only truck I’ve ever had that has truly not needed any repairs!
I’m a huge Tundra guy. My parents have had at least 4 in my lifetime, and I get my dad’s current one (2011 CM Platinum, 71k miles) when I turn 16. What engine does your 08 have that’s gotten it to 250k?
XplosiveCreeperz ...5.7!
You can't beat a tundra
Yes, but be careful of cam tower leaks and AIP issues as well as rust. These can leave you fatally stranded with a huge bill if you do not take care of them.
yea and a million repairs lol
I wander if you can delete your truck and still use it for a business?
Delete it and you won’t have to mess with it again
