1989 GMC Sierra SL Boom Truck Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

[MrIsaiaslee]

I can't se the video

[1897mikel]

A couple of cracks in the dash, it looks like a bomb went off in there

[ga1999]

To the flamers on here - GM used the previous body style on it's full size k-5 blazer/Jimmy and commercial trucks until 1989. 1990 they joined the body style that ended in 1998. Good job as usual Kyle!

[nic0117]

i thought it was called a bucket truck... not boom truck..

[CanucksFourLife]

That's not an 89, more like an 84.

[RedneckDerek1969]

that's a 8 cylinder not a 6

[ChrisFbPro]

it looks like some 1 threw a grenade in it and truck went boom

[slowride55]

all you have to do is look on the sticker on the air cleaner cover and it tells what motor it is.

[slowride55]

Are you sure its an 89? The bodystyle changed in 88.

[cody111495]

Looks way older than 89. Looks like a 1980

[00kirbyd]

a couple of cracks??

[borcilacristian]

RESPECT FROM ROMANIA

[mrbogdan441]

@borcilacristian ce mica e lumea :)

[Legodude1324]

how do u get acces to all these vehicles

[Trikster1of4]

Kyle u should have shown if the boom works

[MisterWordman]

I love how you review all kinds of car. Keep it up dude.

[BAMFnavajo]

Gotta love that old body style. my favorite.

[fallen6191q2w]

how much did u pay for it?

[ciastekwuzet1]

Boom truck?

[Annihilator1111]

the 1973-1991 GMC Sierra was assembled in Atlanta, Georgia Baltimore, Maryland Pontiac, Michigan Flint, Michigan Tarrytown, New York Kansas City, Missouri St. Louis, Missouri Janesville, Wisconsin Norwood, Ohio Fremont, California Oshawa, Ontario Córdoba Argentina Arica, Chile

[ford9572]

ONLY a 6 cylinder!!!!??? I'd think a 350 or 454 V8 would be WAY more appropriate for a truck like this!!!

[ford9572]

It has a boom on it that's why they call it a boom truck.

[BlackAstonMartin]

hahahahahaha this car is a joke.

[thecomputerfan1]

Why is it called a Boom Truck?

[czow]

@thecomputerfan1 because of the boom on the back

[1974Alfa5Spd]

A couple of cracks? Kyle, you crack me up.

[Jkeeley18]

I wonder how many times the odometer really rolled probably three times

[NEWanjingkepala3]

there's a spider lives in the truck's engine bay..

[ilikecookies010101]

After you find a DeLorean (there's one for sale in my area actually...in Bellevue I think...haha) I think it would be super fabulous if you found a Merkur XR4Ti. I had one of those for my first car. Good luck and keep 'em coming :)

[droppinsumfudge]

what a shitbox

[Avinash1943]

Unique way of repairing and maintaining, if you need to get to a component, just cut that section of dashboard, reach and repair it. How sturdy this machine is, every thing is operational, even though throughly abused.

[bunny4t4]

Nothing like a tour of a service truck to bring the need to wash up and change into fresh clothes, lol. Funny thing we used to have a Ford Super Cab just like the one parked beside this truck. Same exact colors, lol, Thanks Kyle.

[FreeportHometown]

@saabkyle04 FIND A STOCK DeLOREAN AND I WILL GIVE YOU A KLONDIKE BAR

[theimaginator16]

I think this is the first video i've seen you post in which your hands get greasy just showing us the vehicle lol! I love the variety on your page man, well done!

[1bentley4ever]

That is one horrible sounding and looking truck. Definitely has seen better days. Talks about variety on your channel. What will you have next, maybe a quarry dump truck or a garbage truck, perhaps?

[Andrey266]

who would buy this car?

[MaurizioM89]

nice truck indeed, i think with a new seat and a cover for the dashboard can be sold for a nice price, even with that pretty used engine

PS: i laughed when you pumped and the small lever under the radio twisted ahaha

[90Mrknowitall]

@g20s10silveradoman whoops my mistake lol thanks for pointing it out dude hahaha

[TJC450]

not a bad dash for a 89

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

'89???

[bunny4t4]

@JakeDaSnakeFilms tes Chevy/GMC restyled teir pick ups in 1988, but cared old body style on heavy duty, duallys, and Suburbans tthru 1991.That old body style first came out in 1973.lol.

[koioo2]

thats a ground up restoration

[Friendly0Dan]

here in Canada we call a "boom truck"

a "cherry picker"

[JAMESS30288]

TBI 350 no need for pumping

[JAMESS30288]

@JAMESS30288 1986 was last year for carbs for MOST ford and gm products...

[saabkyle04]

@JAMESS30288 Oh woops lol, like I said, there's my lack of experience on these for ya haha.  Glad I have people to help me out when help is due!

[thecarexpert18]

well taken care of.........

[90Mrknowitall]

Lol the nerve of GM to have HD mirrors and lights plus all that equiptment and supplying a 6 cylinder for power LOL #FAIL

[g20s10silveradoman]

@90Mrknowitall actually its a 350 TBI V8 the center 2 cylinders on each side share a section of the exhaust manifold so if anything you failed

[cadga1390]

a couple cracks in the dash? thats an understatement, lol

[gm1990ss]

engine sounds fuel injected too. runs too well to be carb'ed and it has that tbi sound. for being an 89 it should be tbi.

[crystalscan2002]

prob 226

[wiz2111]

It's kind of funny because this truck is almost in better condition then some of the leate 90's cars around where I live.

[MrPS3Wii]

.......gross

[bigadamc10]

hey could you do a 1998 pontiac trans sport please thank you

[gajda1984]

@Jakeman2164 Maybe because it was a half ton. 3/4 and full tons still had the old look until 91 or 92.

[azntioy]

you should absolutely detail that and sell it at the dealership

[talldude123]

@azntioy You literally CAN'T get that vehicle back into new shape! It's too rough!

[azntioy]

@talldude123 lmfao kyle might be able to ;P

[tubepotato500]

Definitely seen better days! But that bad boy still runs though! Can always depend on that 350! With 226,000+ miles later I am guessing.

[242DEE]

y didnt u go in the boom

[therocker1659]

damn that ride is older than me .. lol spider confused it self with the engine

[102Help]

a truck for the mexicans

[Goldenrod636]

I never got up close to see how a boom truck is before!

[HwkyPlrs]

They didnt classify engines by liters back then jus HP

[dave11686]

Great video as always Kyle! My dad years ago had a '88 Chevrolet work truck, had a box on it but no boom or bucket, and it had the 350 V-8 but only a 3/4 speed, and it was built on a recreational vehicle cab/chassis rather than a truck chassis like that truck.

He loved that truck, he bought it new in '88 and it was stolen 8 years later, unfortunately.

[nuclearthreat545]

I love videos of not so common vehicles

[jackmitchell123]

Thats one hell of an exhaust leak.

[patrick560sl]

I was expecting an "uncle buck" BOOM when you started it

[Corkoth55]

Did somebody say boom??

[MrStelmer]

Something like that would be so useful for me.......I save and restore vintage lights.....

[celsovera91]

whats a boom truck

[datboiwes333]

@celsovera91 It's called a boom truck because the arm that holds the bucket is called a boom.

[Joseph9536]

I hate the 5 digit odometers because you don't really know how many miles are on a vehicle!

[johnson200gw]

"fires right up" LIKE A ROCK!

[TornTech]

Do a tour of a Tank!

[FordNissanChevy]

its a 350 v8, 4 spark plug wires on each side, center exhaust port is shared

[saabkyle04]

@FordNissanChevy Ok I just wanted to make sure, not that familiar with the older GM motors

[FordNissanChevy]

@saabkyle04 well your close, 4.3 is the same motor as a 5.7, minus 2 cylinders

[cerrystyle]

Oh my god this is the Rustied truck i've ever seen! very old and in bad conditions.. a part the leather seats and the engine, it looks good..... ehmmmm... :- /

[naterade21]

@cerrystyle those are vinyl seats

[DrJohnBecker]

that's a V8.

[sandrochatlos1]

Why are both keys square? Usually the square one is for the ignition and the round one is for the doors/trunk...

[Scott125670]

Ugh visually this thing looks like shit but at least it runs

[cooperba1]

a GMC will always startup

[cooperba1]

@saabkyle04 can you do a 2011 ford f-450 crew cab??

[Chris07860]

I wish he went up in the boom that would be cool

[scfunnyehlol]

now that truck is beat up lol

[586mich]

According to Wikipedia, the only two 6 cyl engines available at that time were the 4.3 v6 or a 4.8 inline 6. Since that is a V shaped engine, it has to be the 4.3.

[apocgamer]

SICK TRUCK! I wish I could afford it.

[PERIZ99]

Great videos..! I just bought a 1973 Dodge 3/4 Ton pickup; The 440 motor runs great, so it's going into my 68 Plymouth Satellite. Not a bad deal for $200 bucks !

[kebertxela41]

89 f150 or 89 sierra/1500

[markkjay]

Keep them coming dude... and yo if you ever find a Back to the Future Time Machine DeLorean, I will literally find YOU and give you the biggest hug ever.

[rob16875]

@markkjay theres one near my house for sale, i kinda wanna go take a video of it lol

[CRXJDM88]

hey did you do a video on that old ford e van next to it ?

[keithie13]

im surprised that thing still runs with how bad it looks and i think it has 269,426 if not thats kind of sad cause then it would only have 26,942 miles on it and it looked like that :/

[24carWon]

whos going to buy that ?

[saabkyle04]

@24carWon it wasn't for sale lol

[pjtart]

Looks like you have some grease on your hand, that is rare in your videos. This truck must be really dirty, Do you know how long it sat their for?

[saabkyle04]

@pjtart I was messing in the engine haha, I have no clue

[BIGRAE93]

A 4.3 V6 IN A DUALLY PHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I HAVE SEEN IT ALL NOW!!

[IndyScott818]

are you going to do one with that F-150 next to it?

[stephenthabeast]

Wouldnt be surprised if he has a Tank tour somewhere in the abyss of odd car videos lol.

[saabkyle04]

@stephenthabeast Bahahaha I wish!

[kekecom]

@saabkyle04 It's funny to see this video after a 2011 aston martin rapide video....

[Scott125670]

@stephenthabeast LOL that would be interesting XD

[Projective]

@stephenthabeast He acctually has, they're called Hummer H2 and Escalade haha

[meesterhoward]

sometimes i wonder if these ones are just jokes

[saabkyle04]

@meesterhoward Lol why? my channel is about variety too

[24allix]

a little more than a few cracks id say =)

[saabkyle04]

@24allix Yep yep, sure is a weathered beast haha

[amadino13]

Wow and I thought I've seem them all. Apparently you just proved me wrong. I wonder whats next lol. A bus or a firetruck lmao. Keep the awesome videos coming Kyle.

[saabkyle04]

@amadino13 Thanks bro, hopefully can get a bus soon haha :P

[talldude123]

@saabkyle04 I've always wanted you to do a Transit Bus, haha!
