- In this video Sean gives us a review and walk around of the new shop truck! It's a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500. This truck came equipped with several really cool options that make it a rare find. First off, this truck comes with a 5.3 V8 eco tech gas motor. This truck a Z71, Elevation Edition, and Kodiak Edition. If you are unfamiliar with the Kodiak Edition, it was made for the Canadian market. Fun fact, this was originally a Canadian truck that made it to the US. The equipment doesn't stop there, this truck is also equipped with the max trailering package. The max trailering packages allows this truck to tow a lot more than the typical Sierra. It also comes with an integrated trailer break controller, and factory towing mirrors. The best part about this truck is the combination of the large crew cab and the 6.5-foot bed. That combination is actually pretty rare itself and made this a desirable truck for the brothers.

Got 2017 1500 elevation 6 4.3l 32k miles love it so far
Whoooo GMC boys right here!! 🙌
Nice find! I have a 2017 Chevy 1500 Z71 LT. Almost identical truck. I did a 2” level, make a world of a difference on looks.
Hey Zach! Sounds like your truck is pretty rad! What level kit did you get?
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Thanks! I ended up doing a Motofab 2” upper strut spacer.
Nice! Sounds like our BDS level we did on our 2014. This is the video. Does it seem similar? czcams.com/video/sRLKuiz38gM/video.html
I have a 2018 GMC Sierra SLE configured just like this one. At 113k miles and I have had the following problems:
Water Pump (bearing squeal) $350.00 approx,
Oil Pressure Control solenoid. Required replacing Oil Pump. $2800.00 Ouch!
Rear Diff Seal $250.00
Transmission Temp Thermostat $175.00. It stuck closed and almost fried my transmission..
None of this was under warranty. No lifter problems yet but I also installed the Range AFM Delete. Best $250.00 I have spent on this truck so far. Eliminates that annoying harmonic drone that you get during cylinder deactivation and hopefully extends lifter life. Overall I like my truck but the oil pump solenoid went at 62k miles. GM did nothing to help out warranty wise. Very disappointing and will probable go Tundra next time.
Wow, sounds like you got unlucky. Before this truck, I had a 2014 Silverado that was down right a lemon. It was unbelievable how bad that truck was. This one has been leaps and bounds better.
I have the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 with the 5.3 in cobalt blue, it has the 6.5' bed and it also has the bigger crew cab. I got 85K on this truck have had it sinc brand new.
Sounds like a beautiful truck Jimmy! Have you had any issues with it?
@@TheBrothersWorkshop I have... All of the usual recalls. The breaks went out on it completely about a year ago. The AC problem was fixed, an oil coolant line was fixed. that was a $2200 job at the dealer. Had the radiator replaced very early on because it was leaking. I do like the truck, but it is paid off, and I am starting to smell burnt oil sometimes.
It's unfortunate how expensive that stuff can become. Those are also much harder projects than we tackle here on this channel. Believe me, I would have done that stuff myself if it was easier.
Love your videos can't wait to see more. I have a 2016 Chevy silverado 1500 LT Z71. Looks the exact same wheels, color, interior etc. I love my Chevy but these generations do have a lot of faults. I deleted the AFM can't afford to have the lifters go out not worth the money. I put a leveling kit on it and upgraded the bump stops to compensate for the sag when towing.
We're thinking about putting a level kit on this truck in a few months. We're not in a big hurry just yet. What kind of level did you put on your truck?
What a great looking truck Sean, a beauty! in Holland we don’t see them a lot, then again I don’t know where we need it for here in our little concrete country 😀
Henk! No need for a truck?! Everyone who's into DIY projects could use a truck!! lol I remember using my small sedan to haul lumber around and building materials. I'm definitely stoked that's a thing of the past.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop well I would like to have a big truck, and prefer the same as you have 😊 In Holland the are extremely expensive and also the taxes are huge. We have to pay for weight of a car and the type of fuel they use. Also the price of fuel at the moment is sky high. The most people in Holland have a stationwagon or SUV with a trailer, that’s the way we do our DIY 😂
Third Generation Silverado’s are the best looking by a LONG shot
I couldn't agree more! 🙌 Do you have one?
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Mine arrives on Saturday! Im so excited. 2018 Z71
That's awesome dude! I know you are going to love it! What color and can style?
@@TheBrothersWorkshop i got it two days ago. Its a 2018 White Silverado Z71 package with the extended cab. And the 6’6” bed.
I sold my 2015 and bought myself a 2004.5 duramax. Nothing beats the cat eye and the interior is more comfortable than anything new
I have a 2017 GMC Sierra All Terrain X, all blacked out like yours. March will be 6 years and only 38k. You’re right about the 5k-10k as soon as you drive off but I saved and planned to keep this baby until it doesn’t run 😅. Btw I waited until it needed new tires to do any leveling or lift to it so I went with a lift so after seeing the towing mirrors on yours, it’s a must on mine now 🤙🏼
What's up Alex?! What kind of lift did you go with on your truck? I was thinking about a BDS level kit. I put after market tow mirrors on my old truck. It was a 2014 Silverado. I've linked the two videos I made about the mirrors below: 👇 czcams.com/video/OTHSACIZwNs/video.html
czcams.com/video/JbDoXsBPjmk/video.html
I ended up doing a 5” Zone lift. BDS and Zone are sister companies so they both make great lifts. Thanks for the link 🤙🏼
Another great video thanks. I need your advise on a 2018 5.3 CC Silverado what should I look for before buying it? THANK YOU.
Much appreciated! 🤙🙌 If you're looking for an 18. Make sure all of the recalls have been worked on. Check the floors to make sure they are not moist. There is a few leaks in these trucks. One from the third break light and the other from the shark fin antenna. If you're looking at a truck with multiple owners that is also a red flag. Otherwise check out our video on the 2014 and make sure you have none of those issues!! The video is linked below for you! 👇

I have a 2009 GMC and I got the 5.30 but I have never done nothing to it but I do think when I change oil I'm going to use up kind of motor flush it'll clean all that sludge out of the motor but you can't run it for 5 minutes with it in it
Greetings from Canada.
Dealers have special offers here. We can rent a truck for 24months at a very low price. They just want it to be considered "used" and to be able to sell it in the US where their profit margin is higher
Hey Jamy! That's very interesting. I was wondering why this truck would have ended up in the US.
Yup only if the vin is American made. Mexican made is dramatically cheaper. And most guys who ship trucks won’t even look at a Mexican made truck
I heard it’s because 2 reasons. 1 being the tariffs imposed on Mexico by trump and the quality control when assembled. I dunno but it’s 100% true that you get far less for a vin with the number 3 if you can sell it at all that is
I have one myself. Silver long bed love it
They look so good! 🙌
I have a 2018 exactly like it ( made in Canada and all ) and ❤ it.
I love it as well!! It's got everything I need.
I actually just bought a 2017 sierra sle
How do you like it so far?!
@@TheBrothersWorkshop so far I'm loving it. Looking to put a bds lift into it and maybe some 33s
That would look really good! I've thought about it, but love that the truck can fit in our garage as is.
How are you liking this truck? Going to look at the same 1 in white with 33k miles as well today
Hey Sean! I love my truck so far. It's everything I wanted and I'm stoked to make more videos about her soon.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop Ill look for your next video with this truck... I just bought a 2017 sierra as well. Thanks for the videos
Heck yeah dude! New video is out, I linked it below for you! 👇
czcams.com/video/J8O67RfvE5Y/video.html
Does it have 4cyc shut off .buy the disconnect MI In
If you're asking if it has a 4 cylinder deactivation, yes it does.
Think I just got the twin gmc
How do you like it so far?!
@@TheBrothersWorkshop it’s a beast I love it .
5-10k loss value off the lot parking? Where are you buying your trucks?
If your talking about the current market, it's not as extreme. Due to the chip shortage the market has changed. Typically there is a large loss in value once you purchase a vehicle. This is because the vehicle is no longer new. By purchasing a used vehicle with low mileage, you will save money. This can be seen in a savings of several thousand dollars. In a normal market, if you try to sell your vehicle back to a dealer or a private person, you will not get full retail.
@@TheBrothersWorkshop I agree with the value loss. But 10k? That’s a little much.
Delete the 4cylinder cut back do not buy one made in Mexico the fin leaks on the roof. The ac compressors fail and throttle response was bad on my 2015 rally 2 Chevy I bought brand new. I sold it in 2021 for $32,000 with 66,000kms on her and if she had the Mexican vin I would have gotten $24,000 from the same company that bought her off me so beware of the vin as it’s the biggest thing when buying anything for big money now. Number 1 on the vin your laughing number3 run away unless it’s super cheap
Thanks for the heads up!
Tht long bed i can’t fit in regular spots lol
It fits fine. As long as you know how to drive.
I'm still going with Ford.
Good luck... 😂
The new Ford truck I hear a lot of them tapping down in the oil pan and I've seen a lot of them doing it
Damn great find! That’s a fully loaded elevation looks like a SLE.
Yeah man! I really love this truck.
