Good video..
Does not mention the heater core plastic tee replacements…

In my opinion, yes.

You could easily dump in a few grand into a used GMT800 and make it nice again. They will last much longer than the newer stuff too.

I had to turn it off after he left the gear oil soaked parking brakes under the new rear brake rotor top hats. I expect more from that guy in particular in that sitch...

I bought that little gadget and both my 99 Silverado and 04 Suburban's brake fluid shows greater than 4%. I admit I've never replaced the fluid (99 had a brake line hose replaced by my mechanic like 12 years ago; suburban I bought as high mileage).

I'm looking at learning how to do this soon. Is the Motive brake bleeder a good option?

You could just gravity bleed it out ...just don't let the MC go dry.

Heck yeah!!!! I have 314,*** miles on mine and I will keep it going as long as I can. Forget buying something new. Too expensive, not as reliable and won't last as long. I HATE car notes! And yes she has some rust but I will have my body guy handle that in the spring next year.

late to the party - Yes Motive Bleeder is good. As long as the body and frame are not rotted, I have no reason not to fix a T800

Probably Yes. If the answer is no, it'll likely still be a decent parts donor.
