- I have owned my 1996 Chevy K1500 Silverado for 4 years. I just recently turned over 250,000 miles. Was it worth own the truck for this long? Here is a run down on what it is like owning one and the issue that arise at 250,000 miles.

I got a 98 k1500 279k , love the truck,use it in winter for plowing and my daily
Gorgeous truck. I love it
Brother, haters gonna hate.... Don't listen to them. I've watched your videos and I absolutely love the passion you have for your truck. It's a beautiful machine really. I don't own one, but I'm looking for one. I'm in Canada and they've largely been ravaged by rust and abuse. Hard to find one in decent condition. But as you said at the end of your video, never give up on your dreams. That's one of my dreams. To own a fantastic vehicle like this. Well done. Keep up the good work
Country Carmen -marr here. I love Me some Chevy's. Washington State. Going to the bfe$ in a Chevy or chillin on some back to road.
I love these. I had a 1997 Chevy Suburban C1500 (2wd) all original with 91,500 miles when I bought it.
It was $9,500 at a dealer and sadly, I was working part time washing dishes at a steakhouse, I had a $300/month payment plus full coverage insurance ($177, I’m barely 24 now), maintenance with 1800 miles a month put on it when it had never had a fifth of that per month before I got it, so things definitely broke lol.
I couldn’t keep it :( couldn’t afford it.
Now I work remotely and make 6 figures, I’m going to get a 96-99 Tahoe 4dr 4x4 with 150k miles or less and moving to Wyoming from Texas
Got goals :3
Just bought a perfect one 1996 ck 1500 today at 170000 miles runs like a champ gunna lift it and black it out
That is a awesome I hope we reach the goal
If you never put 2 and 2 together. If a harmonic balancer goes bad, and you don't catch it fast enough. It will cause the truck to run unbalanced, then it'll take the crank, and main bearings out. I agree. They are bulletproof as long as you take care of these old trucks.
mine has a little over 300K still running strong!
Mine has 132k
Carter Donar mines got 79.2k
Rick Astley nice
Mine has 450,000 miles runs like a top would trust this truck to drive to Alaska tomorrow
@@coreyreynolds3924 354,000
My 91 obs Chevy was stolen 4 years ago well I fockin found it. It's missing a door a window the intake and tbi. I've been rebuilding it because I had so many good memories in this truck and it's cheaper to fix it then buy a brand new truck
My 96 step side white is beautiful runs great and 282k no oil leaks love this truck
You got lucky!
10americanpatriot had a 92 GMC K1500 4x4 had almost 500 on the clock these trucks last!!
I have a 98 K1500 and I beat on it Dailey and it has 254,XXX miles and it still gets me to work and everywhere with no problems
These trucks last forever
The driver door be begging for wd-40
Door pins*
don't use wd-40 as lubrication. it is a rust remover though its very good at lifting rust. you want some kinda spray grease or graphite spray for doors.
Lithium grease for metal on metal contact points works best
Love the obs trucks keep up the build man love the build Ben building mine since I got mine 97 k1500 3door 3" lift beside that bone stock mine as 327,000 miles and still runing strong
Oh yeah? Still got it?
I have a obs from 96 with close to 260k, it has the 5.0 but gives me no problems, of course with regular maintenance. I love my truck, def would recommend for a first truck for a new driver!
Bro mine had 300k and still ran like a champ.. best and most reliable truck I have ever owned.
Mines at 154k and seeing that people have had this at 300k miles is crazy for sure a dream truck
nice truck bro. keep up the good work. 👍
nice truck. nice lines love the front end!!!
Beautiful truck man, she’s gorgeous. I also got a 1996 K1500 Silverado with 225K on the dash needs some loving and TLC but she’s a runner, starts up on the first try in the heart of winter, I took the side plastic molding off of each side because I’m from Buffalo to help prevent moisture getting trapped underneath, but your truck is awesome man keep the videos coming 💯💯
They made the third door in 1996 mine has it
I Have A 1998 K1500 GMC With 137 Thousand Miles With 0 Rust Cause Im From Texas And It Is Fun Af
Them rims nice as fuck
love these trucks, mine has well over 350,000 km on it and all she needs is a new set of shocks lol
I have a old beater one that I’m bout to fix up so thanks
Sounds like to me you don’t like to have fun with your truck😂😂
sup from athens tn i live in east tn too i got a 95 k1500 with 220.000 on it and still runing strong
13:22 we just replaced my sister's oem fuel pump on her '97 trail Blazer at 230,000 miles
Picked one up not to far from Knoxville for free about a month ago had an issue with the ignition but got it fix. She’s a little rough has a little over 224xxx but hell she runs.
He looks like a young Mr Ballen 🤣
Gotta be the cleanest k1500 ive ever seen, nothing tacky on her at all
I want it owning 1996 Chevy 1K000 I love it
Nice truck 👍
328k with a 180k motor, everything else is from factory. Loose goose steering but its a champ
Also have to be careful washing it, its definitely a sunburnt silverado
Mine is a 1996 chevy silverado z71 but my engine is a 5.0 engine with 241,000 but it runs great no check engine light on.mine does burn oil but I have excellent oil pressure all the time
ive got a c1 96 that was treated like a work truck but mostly no rust on the body and it is a bitch replacing ac o2 oil filters etc front and back bumpers cracked tail likes cracked from previous owner and all im doing is trying to get it into decent operation to drop it on custom k1 frame and good lord im afraid to redo the interior after seeing how hard the ex has been BE CAREFUL WITH YOURE PANELING GUYS BECUASE ITS APPERNTLY NOT CLEAR CONCEPT
My dad's 96 Silverado 4x4 has 368,000 miles
95 z71 with 381,000km
You should of got the manual 4 wheel drive switcher
Leave the Chevrolet badge on the tailgate, everyone takes them off!
Idk but I like a badged truck... for me it 'completes' the whole look of it, especially when the badging matches the rest of the colors on the truck...
THE WRATHCHILD id agree half these things you see way to much after market stuff on them but I wouldn’t mind some nice off-road wheels for it but that’s it
You can replace the center console CD storage with a cup holder
Anyone know what ground to check for the flickering low beams currently dealing with that on my 96
A big part of why you’re rpm’s are so low at 80 is the wheels and tires. The rear gearing makes a difference but not 800+
I have a 98 c1500 160k on it. Bought it new. Mine has heartbeat on the tailgate. That’s a 4x4 not the z71 package
You don’t have a c1500 that’s 4wd
250k on these trucks is still fairly young for them old 350s. Seen em running around at 400k still running better some newer trucks
Mines currently kissing 280k and only just gave me its first issue, which was just normal tune up. (Plugs weren't changed before I got her and one literally shattered)
Just bought this truck (1996 c/k1500) with 88k miles on it. It does need some work but not much. From Wisconsin here.
You got a good truck bro I had a 92 GMC K1500 4x4 ext cab unfortunately the motor blew coming home from work cuz the idiot mechanics forgot to put the oil plug back on and just ran all the oil out of it im hoping to find another like it same year or
I’d take a 93 as well may it RIP 1992 2018
i have a 93 extended cab silverado with 300k on it and everything is oem but the tires :)
98 K1500 right here.
I'm looking at buying a 96 k1500 for $300 it's rusted n has a broken sparkplug that I need to take out but it seems like a really good deal for a nice truck still. I'm just hoping when I go to look at it the frame isn't rusted
I have a 1994 GMC Sierra 1500 with 346k miles
I just got my 2 owner grandpa garage kept 1994 GMC Sierra 2500 Single Cab Long bed with 160k original miles. Original silver and black 2 tone paint and zero rust. Frame has minimal surface rust. Im going to fine tune it so its as if its 1994 all over again lol.
Love the grille. Did you have to buy a new one or did you do the original grille?
Where dis you get the steering stabilizer? Planning to install on my 99' C1500.
That's good putting that info out there it will be helpful for someone. Great video !!!!💯
What bed cover is it? Model, size… do you have a link?
Bet 100k that he had to do transmission work every one had to
Where do you get the sticker??
Yo I love your truck but what brand of tool box do you have? Can you provide me a link possibly?
It is on my amazon link.
How did you put the light bar in the front bumper?
What you consider doing a Lund Visor & fender flares?
I'm in Knoxville too and I'm gonna start updating my 93 Silverado. Did you get much locally?
When you gonna get some tail lights?
What did the engine replacement cost?
Tim McGraw 7500
What's the smallest size tire I can run on my 96 Chevy pickup truck
Where’d you order your headlights from?? I also have a 96 k1500 5.7
orlandas robinson amazon sells them ....
Great trucks. I love the obs, but also love the 99-05 style, which is what I have. 2000 GMC sierra 1500 z71 with 318k miles and running strong. Only ever replaced the transfer case. Original engine and transmission. It's in pretty good shape with some chunky 305/70 R16s on the stock wheels, but I'm going to fully restore it, put a lift and some better wheels.
Is it bad that my truck is a gmc but It was used hard and as a quarry truck and work truck and rusted little
Dude, us grandpa's aren't what grandpa's were 50 years ago.
***First off keep up the alsome content Looking for a new personal truck. I have a 1996 I just uploaded the video on my channel I would take 4 I think. 1500 V6 5spd new clutch. No NO check engine light just an air bag/? Fuse? Runs great 2/3 owner long story. Fire fighter bought it new from Chevrolet👌***
I'm gonna get scared when my truck hit 250k miles 😅 its at 201k miles atm. I'm only halfway done with it though. I've had it for 3 years, been able to drive it for 1 year 2 months. I'm 18 y/o.
What bed cover do you have? Looking to put one on my truck
Hey man those cab corners are by no means horrible but u should get the cut out and new ones put in before that rust spreads mine looked like you'res 3 years ago and i just replaced em myself ( wasent to bad if u can weld) in 3 years they rotted complete out and I take care of my truck. Just don't wanna see your truck rot out its in too good of shape :)
You should get a 2018 Chevy because it looks like an obs!!!
Yeh but the body is just plastic on 2018 , reason why I'm going obs, I've had an obs n crashed Into a 2005 crew cab and destroyed that truck, my obs just had a cracked grill , bent bumper n misaligned fender , so yeh definitely sticking to true obs
Yes love the silverado k1500 z71 its a amazing truck love so much with the awesome 5.7 vortec v8 i own a 98 z71 4x4 its stock complety :)
Do u guys know some good bumbers
What size and brand rim and tires??
Kmc xd grenades 20x12. 305x50x20 tires
No OBS chevs had a third door. That didn't come out until the 99 model
they came out in 96 check it out.
@@555drakester Yeah i fucked up and thought he meant on the driver side as well. Just realized i worded that like an idiot too, oops
My 98 GMC k1500 Z71 5.7 vortec has 600k on it.
These trucks come from the factory with 250k miles
Bout to buy a 96 z71 1500 Silverado. It’s got a 3 inch lift with 35’s and the cleanest engine bay I may have ever seen with a lot of shit redone on it. Coming back from a deployment im excited to drive it
Thank you for your Service Brother!! ROLL TIDE!
my tab just broke :(
My 1991 Chevy has 255k and I had to rebuild the top end lol
Mine have 354 000 miles😁
Hi
My 96 has the third door so maybe it’s a 96 and a half?? Idk.
Mine too in 96 you had to special order it with the 3rd door in 97 or 98 it came standard
The third door came out on the 97 year model, but th e97 design was available before the end of the year. I bought a new 1996 Silverado in March of 96, and the 97 models were available toward the end of the year.
What can I do to add horsepower to my 94 k1500
Randy Yost throw some headers on it
throw a 5.3 in it lol
I own a 97 at 250 thousand and my ac compressor clutch went out
rebel reaper add refrigerant could just be low and stopped engaging it.
Mine is a 97 as well and I’m a Hvac tech so I’m pretty much a doctor lol
How much did the new motor cost you
"hinge pinges"
what brand is the bullet antenna
VMS Racing Bullet Antenna
Swears it’s been babied it’s whole life then tells ya that it will lock both tires up during a burn out. Lmao nice truck
im not here to bash or anything. But i will say this. In the beginning you say its your own truck every truck is different blah blah blah. Heres the thing. every truck is different. You giving us the info on what you delt with replaced and all those things, other people could have replaced 1 thing by the time its hit 250k or they could of gone through 2 different motors. who knows.
Best quit knockin on truck...Puttin a dent on Front quarter panel
First half of the video sounds like you want to sell it
What does obs mean... my bad idk shit about trucks yet lmao
Jason Pooler old body style
Kc S Preciate it
I own a 97 Chevrolet K1500 Z71, at around 256,000 miles had to replace the motor, transmission has been rebuilt, get ready to sink some money into her if you wanna keep her like a marriage lol
