Clyde sitting there ready for work 💪🏾
Consistent! 10 mpg loaded or unloaded. So true. Same here. 1998 c3500 454 4:10 gear single rear wheel with 32 inch tall tires. Gibson exhaust and k&n drop in filter.
I have the same truck 2 years now. No plans on every selling it.
Mint 2000 crew cab, 8 ft bed, 454(L29) fresh paint with ceramic coating. Been trying find 6inch lift no luck. 18 on 35's or 37's. Chuck Norris it out ! 💪🏽
Rough country makes a 6 inch lift for k2500 and k3500 now
Just picked up a 99 K3500 dually crew cab a couple weeks ago. I love it so far. Well almost everything. The 454 sure does like gas
Yeah that 454 is a thirsty son of a gun that’s for sure, great trucks though!
Whats the average mpg
Haven’t driven it enuff to tell yet. Maybe put 75 miles on it in a couple weeks. Still has a few bugs that need worked out yet. The oil pan has a pin hole in it somewhere. New pan will be here today
@@MegaMikey28 ok thx keep me updated if you remember👍
I will for sure. Just give me some time. I won’t be driving it a lot. It’s got the 34 gallon tank on it
love my 1999 but I work it to death and have been through some cv axles more than once. definitely going to install air bags under the rear. thanks for sharing!
I see you have the camper battery option. Could you show a picture of where the battery cables connect to on that drivers side battery ?
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow, send me an email and I can get it to ya
So I managed to change the oil pan without pulling the motor. I pulled the mount bolt holding the engine one the mounts, lifted the engine as much as I could without crushing anything. I had to remove the y- pipe because the oil pan wouldn’t come down out with it in place. It took me a lot longer than I wanted to because my gasket alignment skills (without the Fel-Pro snap ups) isn’t all that great. It would’ve been a lot easier with the snap ups. It’s definitely doable tho. Hope this helps!
Edit: my fat thumbs misspell words
Thanks!
Man I like your video and you are right it's payed for thumbs up 👍🏾
Thanks! yeah having no payment is huge, and what's really crazy is in this market I could sell the truck for more than I paid for it despite putting the 35k miles on it since owning it!
@@DaysofPainandVictory man I got a 08 2500hd with the 6.0 for 3500.00 I rebuild the rear end myself and put a 2015 bed on it the bed that was on it was damaged and like you said it's paid for truck prices are crazy
I'm shocked that this only has a tow rating of 10,000 pounds, my Chevy avalanche will tow 8,000 pounds and it's not a heavy duty.
What's going on here, did the towing capacity just significantly increase after the 2000s?
yeah is probably conservative, I've had 15000 behind it bumper tow with a dump trailer no problem.
I’m thinking about getting one and using it as a welding rig
I think one with a utility bed would be perfect for that
Is a 98 gmc 3500 454 worth getting for 3500 with 143k miles?
I think so, probably gonna have some leaks to take care of but if it was well maintained the motor should still be strong. Mine is gonna need a gasket set here before too long
What RPM are you spinning at freeway speeds? I have your truck's Chevy twin, and I'm not convinced my transmission is actually hitting overdrive, or maybe the lockup converter isn't doing it's job. Also haven't crunched the numbers to see what I should be spinning, maybe that'd be a good first step for me lol.
at 75 mph i'm running at 2700 rpm
@@DaysofPainandVictory Thank you sir. That's about right for me too.
Where did you find the front bench seat or would you find ?
I have not done that yet, I want one from a suburban. I need to do it soon now that the kids always have friends over, would be nice to take one rig when we take the boat out and such
Dope! I’m moving to Moscow,ID soon and found a 1 ton like urs but asking 15k lol might need to wait and find a better deal. Loved the vids so far btw
@@kjo6369 Dang these trucks are holding their value that's for sure! I've seen a couple around Spokane for 10k. Thanks!
I plan on getting a 1999 k3500 454 cclb srw, going to have my lance camper about 3k lbs and on occasion tow my 1985 4runner with 37s roll cage , some wood, gear, gas in the trailer you know camping offroading stuff, but im thinking with the rear air bags , rear sway bar , front disc brakes conversion im wondering how it would hold up , safety being most important im in the so cal area so mountains and hills are a thing , what would be you input i would appreciate it , not trying to go "fast" but safe and under control.
I think with bags and good brake controller/trailer brakes should be good to go. I live in the PNW, lots of winding mountain roads. I’ve pulled my full size jeep Cherokee on 3/4 ton axles/37s with camper all over no problem. Some grades I’ve had to pull at 35-40mph but that’s ok with me
Awsome thanks man , its clean not to pass up .. and i know before diesels blew up these 454s and fords 460s ruled the world and reliable, mpgs wont matter being a strict tow rig but what would you be getting when towing your jeep/camper
@@danielr.7870 8mpg with jeep and camper, 9 with just the jeep, 8 with just the camper. The camper really hurts the aerodynamics haha!
Thanks again , feel better talking ti someone actually similar numbers instead of a fourm online from 2012 lol . will keep an updated !
@@danielr.7870 No problem, I love this truck, it's been reliable, its comfortable for the whole family, and it does whatever I need it to do!
Put the center console up and you can fit 3 people in front l have a 2001 3500
mine has buckets, there's no center seat
Would you happen to know where the fuse for trailer lights is located boss?
I don't, did you check the panel on the drivers side dash? between the door and the dash?
@@DaysofPainandVictory yes I checked that one. It’s not in there either.
What does this get for fuel mileage compared to the 6.5 ltr diesel engine???
I get 10 MPG empty, 8-9MPG towing depending on what it is
I get 20 with 3.73
@@fastmachines500r8 with the 6.5 or the 454?
my truck has 4:11s
@@DaysofPainandVictory 454 I had a 96 k3500 single cab long bed non dually that got 20 with 3.73, I currently have a 99 k2500 burb with 3.73 that gets 23 with a tuner, and a 96 crew cab long bed dually k3500 with 4.56 that I want to switch to 4.10’s
How much can you tow with on a trip?
I’ve towed 16k before, dump trailer with rock. Air bags really help
If you need a flatbed still I have one on the truck identical but I need a box maybe we can trade
Can you email me some pics of the flatbed? Where are you located?
Iam looking for marker lights for a 1998 single cab Chevy 1ton on rear fenders it is a.cheyanne
I don’t have any extra parts, maybe someone else in the comments does
Love the truck! I'm looking at one at the moment, it's a 97 single cab dually with the 454. I'm trying to figure out the tow capacity for a fifth wheel. Can you help me out?? Thank you! Great job on the video!
I can do some digging on some real numbers next week, but with this truck I’ve pulled a 3000lb fifth wheel flatbed trailer with my 5000lb jeep on it. Comparable material loads. Also pulled a dump trailer bumper tow that weighed 16,000 loaded for multiple trips. No issues. Thanks for watching!
@@DaysofPainandVictory ok awesome! From what I found they have a 10,000 lbs towing capacity but that sounds a little light to me being duallys.
With 4.10 gears (GT5) it’s 10,000
@@racerzx84AE from what I have found out about my truck, is supposed to haul the same. It’s a 95’ K2500(heavy/8 lug) 454/4L80E
😎
My 98 k35 7.4 crew 1ton dully is running rich miss firing and sputters bad when I fill it up and when it’s cold then it will stop and run perfect then it will start running like dog shit.... I’m not that educated with vehicles I just know how to change parts.. if anyone can help that’ll be amazing!!
Any engine codes?
I absolutely LOVE my ‘98 GMC K3500 454 manual 1 ton long bed dually (4x4 obviously, hence the K in K3500 not the C3500) Mines black with the maroon interior, looks like yours except mine is an extended cab..but she’s only a 2 door though. The ext cab doesn’t open up. F**king work horse! She has 107,000 original miles and I am the second owner. My g-dad bought it brand new in 1998.
Nice, super cool that it has always been in your family. Don't ever sell it!
@@DaysofPainandVictory
Hell no. I love her too much. I’ve thought about buying another one, but I want it to be a OBS GMC K2500 3/4 ton ext cab long bed automatic with a Duramax.
Man my engine is only 5.7 k3500
well you probably get to enjoy 13 mpg instead of 10 at least!
I feel the same as front tires, I own the 3500 99 half of the 99 was square body for 99 what I love but they do guzzle gas and I call mine cum guzzler or baby love this truck I have a 1 ton and I love it
The 454 vortec should be about 300hp with about 350ish ft lbs of torque.
