How much Chevy paid you to sell trump
Do a video on the 2005-2006 Saturn vue they have the full Honda drivetrain. I have one that I beat on. It is a tank. My new fully built Jeep Wrangler tore up before the Saturn (mileage wise) I actually take the vue off road more than my jeep. Havnt even changed the oil in Saturn since I got it over a year ago speaking of that I’m about to do that today and make a video of the color and velocity of the very used oil. I live in west TN btw
Red Green has an official youtube channel with all the episodes posted free to watch and they have a new podcast where they make new episodes like an old radio show

These American trucks are something else.... We don't have that in Europe.
What do you guys have instead?
"Check it out! A light show with Scotty!" LOL
That frame on that truck looks like you could build a whole building on it
Too bad Scotty Kilmer doesn't know what a wax coating will look like when you clean it with a power washer. Welcome to the world of rust...
Scotty: "A good Chevy truck!"
Me: **visible confusion**
oxymoron
Whaaaaaaat🤔
It's been my understanding some of their trucks aren't complete garbage. Only like 99% of their products. 😂
@@FluffballKitties even a broken clock is right twice a day.😁
😅😅 I thought I was hallucinating
Scotty we’ve got these trucks in our fleet. I work for a gas company in west Virginia these trucks go threw the unimaginable from new. They go good and are very reliable!
All the neighbors run outside when he hits the siren button-"oh no, what is our new neighbor up to now?"...LOL...
The people in Thunder Bay are creative and practical, love your advice and reviews
OK, so I've always enjoyed Scotty's videos and great car advice, BUT, when he brought Red Green into this video, my LIKE blossomed into FULL ON LOVE... WELL DONE SCOTTY!!!!! You two ARE the "handyman's secret weapon"!! ;)
My 2500hd 6.0 was purchased new 18 years ago and used for a recreation vehicle and general truck stuff, still works great. Worst thing that has happened is the fuel pump and water pump goes out occasionally and the ac compressor system had to be recharged once about a year ago. Beyond that because it is lifted it has ruined the front axle bearing about every 7 years due to the angles they are working at.
I saw that pull up you did on that bar
You are really one of a kind😊
Made no comment about the air-conditioning. ...Is...is Scotty okay?
The car is to new
He doesn’t need ac up there lol but Chevy has good ac
Cold as ice 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I like the Lightshow with Scotty
It’s 45 degrees where Scotty made this video. He didn’t run the AC.
LS Engines are awesome. Love the 6 bolt mains!
Yes indeed
Hands down the most dependable engine on the market. Period.
And most of the heads flow really well too. Aftermarket support is everywhere. Swap in a cam, tune, and headers and you’ll have a reliable performer. No better platform for a budget build in my opinion.
That sounds like a really good idea to use old Neons; or old anything for that matter, as baggage cart pullers. Other small airlines should copy Bearskin Airlines.
siren noise .... Scotty's neighbors must LOVE Scotty !!
I recently bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 gas engine and the 6-speed transmission. So far I’m loving it and it’s been the best truck I’ve ever owned. Thanks for the content Scotty!
Huge mistake. Mine had the ac go out at 50k and shaking transmission at 60k.. worst truck I owned .. they say ram is bad but mine has been good so far but yet again it has 77k miles.. it’s a 2015
@@eduardohemi6091 Mine has almost 80k on it and it’s running perfect. I recently put on a Black Oil separator to prevent carbon build up
@@NoahMcMahan that’s good to hear , I guess with every American brand it’s whatever you buy first that decides what team you’re on.. if you’re first vehicle comes out bad you’ll hate it forever.. if it’s good then you stay loyal
how is it now? In the market for a good truck to haul and to last a long time
Pictures always makes my day Scotty 👏 Thanks 👍
Nothing like a Scotty video to turn a rough day around.
YES!
Love my 18yr old Chevy S10 built like a rock 🛻💨✔️
I had ‘96 S-10, bought used. I routinely loaded it with 3/4 ton landscaping supplies. I towed my tent trailer in the mountains. I drove that S-10 into the ground ( double century ). My S-10 had the 2.2 Ecotech 4 cylinder with a 5 speed transmission.
I have a 95 S10 with 5 speed. 227k and still going.
S-10 were junk the only small trucks back then that had quality were the Ford Rangers.
@@bcgrittner You had 4:10 rear end too. I had a 99s10 4cyl. It was a relaible truck, but it didn't have enough power to get out of it's own way.
Too each their own... Actually Both are awesome trucks especially the older ones... they sure don’t make em like they use too...
Glad to have ya in TN. Clarksville is booming but still small enough to live!
Not only the 10 speeds but the 8 speeds too. Designed to fail and made it for how many years. Love the vids Scotty keep up the good work and continue being the one and only brutally honest mechanic out there
"Bigger, sometimes is better!"
I wholeheartedly agree Scotty lol. ^_^
Can you imagine the "bigger is better" picture he could put up in the corner? Lol
Damn Scotty, you really flexing yo muscles dude! Nice flex.
I had a 2000 chevy s-10 for 14 years.
It was a 4 cylinder with the 5 speed manual transmission, what a great truck that was, I miss driving it.
Neighbor: what was that sound honey?
Neighbor partner: oh that scotty is filming outside again
Neighbor: ooohhhhh *shakes fist*
Lol
Waiting for the day one of the neighbors yells "go back to Texas"!"!
“And in your spare time you can even get in shape” why is Scotty so funny 😂
I work at GM flint truck assembly making the 2500 and 3500s this makes me very happy 😂 scotty approves our trucks
After owning this truck for years, if ur wondering. It gets 10.7mpg in town and 14.6mpg on the highway if u set the cruise at 65. At 70-80 about 12 mpg or less.
yeah, you'll definitely be taking advantage of that 36 gallon tank. But then again....we don't buy these for fuel efficiency, do we?
Best use of a neon. Ever
I have the 2019 Chevy 2500 express 6.0 cargo van. It's a BEAST
Loved the Red Green show, with, yep, Steve Smith. I wish it would come back !
They still do a podcast.
I like that new LED lighting behind you.
Scotty got muscles there
Ohhh Scotty....I bet your neighbors "love" you! :) That noise maker, Lol! Just so you know, we are a 2 toyota family now thanks to you. My husband even traded his Ram truck for a Highlander and I got the C-HR. Thanks for your great advice!
Hello Scotty. Awesome as always
Good to hear Scotty.
I have a 2018 Chevrolet 3500 HD Gasser. It is a good work truck
It's nice to hear scotty mention,
Thunder Bay, Ontatio.
Scottys new neighbors must love him out there screaming and setting off sirens. 🤣
lol I'm sure your neighbors are loving that siren.... I keep watching you though
My last two 3500 1 ton vans lasted, and lasted. I ran the last one too 765K miles parted it out, kept the 6.0 litre engine, sold the trans and the guy is STILL running it. LOL I plan on rebuilding the old 6.0 and doing an LS swap in my Camaro and run it again. My current 2017 Chevy 1 ton has 180K and has been flawless.
Keep your stick on the ice and remember where rooting for ya Mr. Scotty!!
I feel better about my 1 ton diesel GMC with an allison 6 speed transmission. I also custom ordered it with a full sized bed and full 4 door extended cab.
Thanks for the Canadian plugs, eh Scotty!
Bearskin Airlines! Love it!
Steve Frick - And the reference to Red Green!
Scotty these GM HD trucks are all I buy for the town where I work as the mechanic, We get 16-20 years of fleet service out of them without ever touching the powertrain, this is with use 5 days a week 35-40 hrs running time a week. It’s not uncommon for our trucks to have 12-20000 engine hours.our 2015s have 6000 hrs already . The specs you were quoting were for the 2020 6.6L , the truck you have in your video is a 2018 or a 19 . It has the 360 Hp 6.0, which I like better than the new 6.6L because the 6.0 has port injectors the new 6.6L is DFI ,and it’s not a split system, so I haven’t bought any yet to see how they hold up.. we buy ours thru the lowest commercial truck bidder that will deliver it to us..
My Colorado is a good Chevy truck. I have the Eaton 6-speed manual transmission, no longer available.
So is my diesel canyon! It’s been a great truck.
I’m not a fan of Chevy but I’m definitely gonna buy a duramax zr2. I really want to hear Scotty’s opinion on those.
@GH1618: What year was that?
@@rxdoom1194 Ain’t nothing wrong with em. GM can make some solid vehicles.
Have flew on bearskin in thunder bay awesome experience.
I’ve had 4 of these 2500 Chebbys. 2 diesel and 2 gassers. Have a 2019 like this now. Transmission problem waiting to happen with the gassers. Average 150,000 before breakdown and $4500 repair bill. I got 350,000 out of my 2015 by shifting manual mode and not letting engine lug below 2000 RPM. I’ve been told by several dealers and transmission shops that is a record! They couldn’t believe that l got that many miles out of the original transmission. Be warned but otherwise great truck.
I have a 2003 2500 HD with the 6.0 with 285,000 and no problems with it at all. The thing is a beast!
Love the GM / Chevy 2500 HD and the 3500 pick up.
I have an 04 2500HD with a 6.0 engine and I love it. Yeah it has it small problems here and there like any older vehicle does but for a 21 year old truck it's solid.
A 2004 is a 17 year old truck😂
I commuted in Seattle year-round in Seattle! I did have ABS brakes. 50,000+ miles. no incidents.
It looks like you are getting a tan in Tennessee!
We’ve recently started getting these monster Utes in Australia and I’ve only heard good news about them
What’s funny is that the red green show is STILL on today!! Lol new episodes too!
Hi Scotty, thanks for the video on the Chevy being a good vehicle to buy for work. But, could it keep up with Mad Max? Excellent idea using the neon.
Red Green haha! Great stuff!
Thanks for the call out to Red Green (Steve Smith). Canadian technology at It's most basic. If it moves and you don't want it to move, duct tape it! If it doesn't move and you want it to, WD-40 it!
Keep your stick on the ice!
I had to look up "The Red Green Show"..... I learned something non-car related from Scotty today!
Have a 14 year old Chevy 1500 4x4 lifted and only issues have been fuel pump and u joint. 150k miles. Fuel pump $65 (did it myself) u joint $200 (bought whole other drive shaft). Been a good truck.
I wish the U.S. got the Yaris GR so that Scotty could review it🤙🏽
unfortunately, it seems like tiny cars are now unpopular in the US as there's no more Yaris Hatch nor Honda Fit. Instead, the US prefers micro SUV's since Toyota is making a Corolla SUV.
Hey Scotty I’ve been hearing the Celica making a possible comeback
Yeah, there bringing back the 94 Celica.
The electric guy pulls up to work on a house and out comes Scotty and his camera asking if he can film his truck! LOL
Happy Friday Scotty! 🏁
happy Friday!
Even you should know that 6.0 is 360 hp 380 lb ft not 400hp,that is the new 6.6 gas
Correct.
Hi Scotty. I remember you were impressed with the 2012 Ford Fusion. Is the Ford Fusion a good car even now?
3:25 Off to the right is a grumpy concerned neighbor, so Scotty jumps in the back to film LoL
😂
Haha they share about 80 percent with half ton.....scotty oh these are completely different lol
Try to find a front pump for that 6 speed. It might be on back order along with the Torque converters that ate them up.
Neighbor is a retired Boeing mechanic! He has a 2018 Chevy HD and he works on it constantly! This weekend he had the top of the engine torn out to replace a fuel pressure sensor! It’s the 5th one! He’s not happy
The 1500’s using the 5.3 with the 6speed are the way to go for a smaller full size. We use them daily for hauling, and retire them at 350k miles...
An american referencing " The Red Green shop" now I've heard everything lol dam that was some good time memory's as a kid growing up in Niagara Falls USA & watching Red Green on CBC tv then Red dwarf 👏🏾 thanks Scotty... oh crap I didn't mention any car stuff... oh well.
Right on! These 25 and 3500s+ are bare-boned equipped, sometimes with hand crank windows for emphasis on quality control/cost savings where it counts. It's a separate division of the dealership, nextdoor building or sometimes within the main dealership room with a Fleet Manager who's the only salesperson selling these commercial trucks. Accompanied by their own lot attendant(s) and an immediate finance dept. priority. The Chevy 1500s in many trims are flying off the lot these days. No doubt the execution of Chevy's simple in cabin infotainment accessibility is a draw toward their commercial line, but Ford's fleet seems to have more progressive options for the $ imo. Without a doubt the Chevy 1500s seem to be outselling the F150 for the first time ever. Not part of this video, but looking forward to Q4s numbers.
A 1999 2500 had numerous brake problems, and the starter went bad. Right off hand can't think of anything else. The brakes were pretty spooky before being fixed. I think GM finally recalled them for ABS problems. Yes they do haul and yes they suck gas.
That is a beautiful rig.
His neighbor's love him more than ever running the sirens on that thing.
My 2008 Denali is rated to tow 10,000 lbs. my trailer with load is 5500 lbs. if ambient temperature is above 60 degrees it will over heat. I asked about a radiator from one of their HD trucks? They all use the same radiator. I went to aftermarket radiator three times the cooling and added two large transmission coolers and removed the grill. Now I can tow when it’s in the 90 s.
I work for a package delivery company. All are vans are Chevy’s. We just got about 40 new 2020 vans. They only have big V-6’s but they have plenty of power and get about 19 MPG on the highway. They have 8 lug wheels so I’m guessing they are at least 1 ton vans. Much nicer than our old V-8’s we’ll see how they do over the long run. Our old trucks had as many as 700,000 miles.
I don't know if a lot of Americans know about Red Green, but glad you do Scotty! Haha... so true that the Neon-baggage-carts are like something he'd build. Awesome and hilarious at the same time

I work out of a van for the last 5 years it’s been a dodge 2500 but I got it for free still I wish I could get a new van you can stand up in .one day maybe you can get me one Scotty ? Hav e a great weekend buddy 🖖
good morning sir 😃 happy friday 😁
I agree. I have 2 of them, a 2003 with about 250,000 miles on it, and a 2007 with about 160,000 miles.
I spend a lot of time on the road for my job and over the years i have realized that I see a lot of chevys broke down sitting on side of the road, Fords are a close 2nd. Some weekends my buddy's and i would place bets on which brands do we see most often along the interstate with the hood up when we come back from up north snowmobiling, its usually a toss up between ford and chevy80% of the time
You must be popular with your new neighbours setting those sirens off :)
Chevy guy born and raised. Had one of those in other day low miles ac compressor went out was disappointed
I definitely like a more commercial type truck. Simpler trim levels with less crap going on, and the 2500 and up trucks are more solid.
Red Green used to be a favorite...good stuff...
I have a 2002 Chevy avalanche 1500 with 190,000 miles and no issues at all did normal routine maintenance on it no issues gave it to my dad and it’s still going strong
Now I own 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I love it, I’ve owned chevys all my life no issues
Ok, equal time. What's your view on a Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7 PowerStroke Deisel?
A Ford engine with more than 5 liters of displacement... sounds like problems to me...
@@TheDiameter What leads you to that conclusion? Has Ford had problems with the current iteration (2014 forward) of the 6.7 Powerstroke?
Hey Scotty, I lived in Thunder Bay. I met my wife there 😁
