Scotty then didnt fix spark plugs popping out, the Tritons engines are full of problems from spark plugs that brake off, strip the threads out, and the oil valleys for the top end are too small and clog up very easy. They also were bad for cavitation. Any Triton after 2005 is perfectly fine though. I still really like ford, just not those years. There's a reason why you can pick a used one up for $700 that runs and drives anyday of the week.
He got Toyota as number 1 but you gotta change the water pump and timing belt every 100k miles. Smh. Typical biased TH-cam mechanic. Meanwhile 96-06 GM trucks are going 300, 400, 500k miles without ANYTHING done to them..
Can you imagine being his neighbor? Saturday morning and Scotty’s out in his driveway yelling at the top of his lungs at a camera. Wife tells you to go tell him to keep it down but you remind her how he does all the work on your vehicles on the cheap.
My 2002 Ford Ranger with 2.3l engine has 822,000 on it still drives 7 days a week! I'm not even bored with it. Just a very versatile machine I can't do without. Still 25 mpg too.
keeping my 01 silverado i would rather put 10-15k into it than pay 40-50k for a new one. i can buy all the bells and whistles i need in the aftermarket to doll it up and keep it going.
@@paulgrisez5834 my dads frame on his 1999 won't make it anymore unfortunately, but it still is the longest lasting of any truck ive seen in PA. Love it to death, grew up with me but unfortunately I'm gonna watch it be parted out for the 01 tahoe we have
Yep.... have 2007 1500 Classic the last year before they ditched 20+ years of development for a greener fieild of dreams. Keeping it an a 1995 300 straight six F-150.
A guy around me took a Camry and cut the roof over the back seats, and made the back seat/trunk area into a bed. It’s a Camry pickup. Too much I was going to die!
My dad was in the south pacific during WW2. He said on occasion they would have some captured Japanese trucks they would drive. He said everyone was super impressed how well they were built and drove. Even back then they were impressive trucks.
The 88-98 Chevys are my favorite trucks. I’ve had a 70, 85, 87, 95, 98, 05, and my work truck is an 09. The 98 was my favorite by far, which is why I got the 95.
I had a 97 Silverado a few years ago. One of the best vehicles I ever owned. Got it for $1600. Within 2 years I only had to replace the alternator. You can't beat that.
Def the 96 97 98s with the vortec 5.7 liter and 4wd were some of the best trucks ever. The 5.3 they started using in 99s with the new design were also good but had some common issues Chevy never shoulda allowed happening
I forget what year, but I had a Buick lacrosse for many years. I had one major repair, the tranny broke. Otherwise, it was very serviceable right until the day I sold it. The kid abandoned it because it needed new rims. Smdh
@@paulpheifer3002 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 from '99 to '07 are pretty solid engines, but the 5.7 is more stout and one would be surprised to find any problems. We know someone in our family that has a 5.3 where he put over 500k on the engine with no rebuild and same tranny.
97 3/4 ton GMC with a 350 here. It fires up everytime, pulls way more than it says on paper and with no problem. I highly encourage to install beefier front end. Since I did that, no issues, no clunking and drives straight as an arrow. Also, the motor is so easy and simple to work on! It sounds really good with straight pipes too 😉. Classic American V8 rumble
I’ve got a 94 Silverado with almost 600k on it 4 wheel drive damn good truck since I bought it with about 130k on it I’ve only changed out the radiator, starter, alternator, dist cap, and the thermostat that’s it! Basic things still churps the tires and will down shift smooth and gets up and goes best truck I’ve ever owned
I have a 97, 5.7 Lt. Has 310,000 km. Had it for 21 years. The engine is bullet proof. I do a lube, oil and filter every 5,000 km. To bad GM put themselves at the bottom of the list.
I've owned a few of those truck and never had any serious problems with any of them, the Chevy 350, 5.7 liter engines will run forever and if you ever do need parts for them they are easy to find and dirt cheap too since they ran that body style for 10 years.
I've got a '95 2WD 1500 with almost exactly 200k miles on it and I just had an unusual problem.. the U-bolts that hold the rear end to the leaf springs rusted into. Luckily, I was on the dirt road when they broke. I tried to back up and the rear end rolled forward and dropped my drive shaft, broke my E-brake cable, both brake lines and egg shaped the hole in my drive shaft for the U joint. I'm about to get it going again and will be glad to have it back. I was considering selling it but it's so easy to work on and dependable that I guess I'll just start fixing the stuff that's neglected on it. Motor is still great but need to replace my valve cover gasket. My 4L60E doesn't like to shift down in a hard acceleration, which gets on my nerves but other than that it runs great.
My brother had a 1989 Chevy short bed step side and he pulled a gooseneck trailer hauling hay. That truck would put in the work and nothing today has ever come close to how that truck performed. Still in awe over that truck.
I have a 1998 GMC k2500. 5.7 liter. 138,000 miles. I changed the differential oil first time at 137,000 and I was completely surprised. It had no metal dust whatsoever in the bottom of the case. And I tow a boat with a cabover camper!
I drove a '99 Silverado with the OBS body style and the Z71 package in highschool, and it was, and still is, my absolute favorite truck. Nothing even comes close to how much I adored that truck. I made that 350 Vortec run for all it was worth when I took it out into the hills around my hometown and it never let me down. I need to get my wife and I another 90's series Silverado or Sierra.
I have a 2000 GMC Sierra C3500HD one-ton dually. It has a 454 (7.4) Vortec engine, 4L80E auto trans, Dana 80 diff., and an enormous frame. 2000 was the last year for the 454, and the first year for four wheel disc brakes. They're good, solid, reliable trucks.
Still driving the 02 Tundra I bought new. Just getting broken in at 170k. Love this truck, we’ve done a few cross country trips towing a small camper, charging up and down Rocky Mountain passes like a beast. Other than some brake issues when it was still under warranty, it’s never let me down.
Bought a Tundra new back in 2016. Couldn’t justify an F150 - the tundra was $10k less comparably equipped and zero issues after five years and 67k miles. Runs like new.
@@Michael-yc9ex it does depend on which versions of each so we're comparing apples to apples. The 2021 F-150 is the class leader, I think, but the 2004 F-150 with the max payload package tows about the same as the middle of the current Tundra line, I believe. The upper end of Tundra is 10,100 or 10,300
I had the opposite buying experience. Deals on Tundras are wayyyy tougher to get, but Toyota really doesn’t want to sell more than 100,000 Tundras a year.
Scotty, I have a 2000 Ford Ranger with the Vulcan V6 in it. Still going strong after 366,000 miles! These are great trucks and they are still available out there.
Have two obs chevys. An 89 and 94 both have the bullet proof 5.7 tbi. Both have over 200k miles, most solid truck I ever owned. Those tbi motors were indestructible
@Marc Kemp yeah my uncle has a 2001 Silverado with almost 500k miles on it GM makes some of the best and most reliable pickup trucks. Fun fact Chevrolet started the American sports car.
I paid $500 for a 91 Chevy Silverado standard cab back in 2007 148,000 miles still driving it today with almost 400,000 original engine and transmission
i have an 89 odometer quit at 291k so maybe 320k lol runs great fixed small stuff like hoses power steering pump u joints you know typical stuff to go out
@@bryanramos83 Take care of it. Those trucks are bringing a good price at car shows/swaps. If you get a chance go to some of the bigger shows in your area. You'll find alot of good ideas for yours and often they're a good source of hard to find parts.
I have a 1998 Chevy 1500, at 200K miles I had to replace the engine after the OEM radiator cap failed at freeway speeds in July while driving through Nevada desert. A brand new GM crate motor cost me $2,094 shipped to my door. Still driving the thing at 300K and it still has the original transmission, and everything works great. Only issues as of late, all the rubber suspension parts are starting to make noise and need to be replaced. No big deal. Rock solid truck and 1996-1998 was DEFINATELY a sweet spot for these trucks. Can't go wrong so long as you take care of them.
Not really. It’s just that Scotty is wrong most of the time. If you listen to everything Scotty says then you really should t be working on cars. Take them to a real mechanic.
I loved my lil ranger. That poor little truck went through hell and back. Beat the living heck out of it. It always refused to die, or was a simple fix. I got a lot of respect for those lil trucks.
I owned 2 different 93 Silverado’s. They had some minor issues but they were cheap and easy to fix and ran forever. The only issue is being in Canada they rusted out. First one ran 325k km before I got rid of it and the second had 435k km. Both still had original engine, transmission. They definitely don’t make em like they used to.
Yup thats for sure! Gm made solid trucks until the body change in late 07 when they were going tits up. There's already a 2016 chevy in the wrecking yard here in sask because the frame rotted out....the whole truck is rotted out.
I had a 1999 suburban LT that I bought with about 80,000 miles on it. Drove until I got 238,000 and then sold it and got myself a Toyota Highlander for “economy“. I’d give anything to have that 99 suburban back, I would’ve put a crate engine in it if necessary. You could drive it for hours and it was like driving your recliner in your living room
@@rodrogers6895 I just rebuilt my 99 suburban it runs like a champ 236k miles. I just love the ride and comfort. Couldn't agree more. My new silverado sits Parked.
My best friend bought a Duramax in 07. He has 275k so far and has had a caliper replaced since he bought it new. It has been great so far but that is from 07 but if all you have to replace in that many miles is a caliper I think you are doing good.
My sister worked for a forestry company in B.C. in accounting and she told me the Toyota's initially costed more, but in the long run they were more cost effective to buy. Many employees seemed to like abusing the company vehicles.
My 02 Tundra runs great . Zero problems . V8 . 4.7 . 4 X 4 . Paid 18 k with about 45 k on the odometer in 2006 . Love this truck . Haven't had a monthly car loan in a long long time .
I'm 66 yrs old and owned many cars and trucks many makes but always the Toyotas were the best. I had a 1980 limited edition Celica Grand Prix that had over 500,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was still running. My current truck is a 2004 Tacoma with 268,000 miles and still runs like a dream and still has the original fan belt.
My 05 Saturn has the original shocks and springs on the back. The front struts have been replaced twice. 247,000 miles. With excellent all wheel alignment done right, it’s super smooth going down the road. It’s the basic level 2.2 liter 4cyl., five speed manual.
2019 F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab Fx4 short bed 6.2 liter gas. 9 recalls later and 3 trips to the shop for "death wobble" or "steering wheel oscillating" as the dealer called it. I couldn't get rid of that truck fast enough. To this day I still get new recall notices in the mail.
97 Tacoma owner here. 2.4 with 5 speed 2WD 300K miles runs like a champion. It was a base model with no A/C. So I bought everything to bolt the a/c on. Compressor, lines, condenser etc. All factory parts installed from a A/c model truck Works great. I got it painted and fixed dents. Looks very clean. I also put the 4WD bumper on the front with the lower valance looks awesome.
I had a 97 Silverado with the 4.3l 262 vortec and a 5 speed. Damn thing lasted over 325k on the original engine and trans. Would still be driving it if it hadn't been totaled
I have 97 Silverado with the 5.7L 350. Regardless of engine, they are all great trucks. I have 256,000 miles and mine runs like it's brand new. I'd rathers dump a few grand ( I already have in a new transmission, fuel system, radiator, shocks) than get a new truck
I've paid 2k for my 93 chevy. Was planning to sell it once i got something better. Eventually i got my dream 1989 firebird, but at that point this truck grew on to me, because she's one reliable beast. Gave her a fresh paint job now all she missing is a v8 swap for that VROOOMM!!!
I have a 1994 mazda b3000 standard shift with 392,000 paid 300 bucks for it and it has been the best little truck I have ever owned I drive it everyday
@@miguelrios725 about 25,000 roughly, original motor and transmission. The only thing I've ever had to do to it was a master cylinder and basic maintenance
Every time I see that Scotty is praising the older model silverados makes me feel better about purchasing my 06 Silverado. I may have over paid , being that the dealership had it priced at 13.9K but I managed to bring them down to 12.5K. But I feel like it’s worth the price.
@@krish6506 When we bought it she had around 129,000 miles. I've been taking care of her and she's solid, has gotten us to many gigs while pulling a trailer with my band. She's sitting around 156,000 or so now and still purrs like a kitten!! 🙂
@joseph rigdon that’s awesome man. I’m really happy with the truck i have the 5.3 vortec, hbu? I have heard nothing but good things and it could last to 300k if maintained
@@krish6506 I got the same 5.3 Vortec and pretty much. As long as they're maintained they will roll forever. I've been trying to take good care of her show she keeps lasting for years to come!! 🙂
I bought a 1989 gmc sierra k1500 4 years ago for $1200. Only thing I've spent on the truck is oil changes and a tune up every year. Thats it. The 350 is strong as it was when it rolled out in 89. Love these old gm 90s trucks!
I drive a 1993 Chevy 3500 Silverado Detroit diesel 6.5l, had a new turbo in 2018, Indiana truck, daily driver 183,000miles. Has the old truck bed liner paint job, hauls skid steers, excavators, and all any other mid weight machinery every week. 30 years old.
I've posted before about my 94 K1500 that i bought new and still driving it. The only thing I would mention about the 90's Chevy pickups is I prefer the 88-94. That's pre-Vortec engine when you had just an old 350 with a throttle body instead of miltiport fuel injection. I just prefer simplicity and ease of repairs.
I have a ‘96 Silverado K1500. Bought it used for $9000 with 55,000 miles on it. I now have over 252K miles. Used it as a work truck for 11 yrs. Just had to rebuild the front end. (Idler and pitman arms, bushings while I was at it) 2 water pumps. That is all I’ve had to do on it in 15 yrs. It is a solid truck.
I recently bought a 97 GMC extra cab long bed fully loaded I bought it from the original owner and with over 300,000 miles on it and look like it only had 5000 miles on it and it's still going and it's all original it's all freeway miles
I have my grandpas 1971 Ford F100 Short bed 4x4 with a 300 inline 6 and 4 speed. Its gutless as can be as far as speed but its been a unbelievably reliable pick up. I was a couple months old when grandpa bought it new. Ive had it for 20 years and have no idea how many miles are on it because the odometer hasnt worked since long before I got it in 2001. Speedo works but odometer is kaput
So is a T-100 a Tundra also? I found a '99 T-100 for sale recently that looks super clean and runs great with about 190K miles. It has the V6... I was wondering if these were as well built as the Tundras
DT NA The 3.4 V6 in the t100 is a non interference engine so even if the timing belt did snap it wouldn’t do damage I’m not sure about the 3.0 options if they are non interference or not
@@tommichaels2466 A t100 is Toyota’s first attempt at a full sized truck it didn’t sell to well because it had a v6 they were made from 93-98 then they came out with the tundra it’s nothing for a t100 to go 300,000-400,000 miles with the 3.4 v6 just like the early Tacoma’s obviously not as much power as the v8 tundra but still very durable and built very well just like most Toyota’s
I replaced the belt on Dad's '96 T100 3.4 recently. The belt was 19 years old, but only had 70k miles on it. The job was a waste of time-the belt looked like brand-new.
Are you talking about how it cuts out at 102mph, they have a 100mph speed limiter built in, my 96 had it, I got a hypertech programmer for it that disabled the 100mph speed limiter.
If you’re gonna get a ranger get any engine besides the 3.0. The 3.0 typically crack their heads and have other problems. The 4.0 ohv can go for 500,000 or more
I've got an '05 Silverado and it's a great work truck with 120k on it. It's had a few minor issues but the rust is starting to become an issue. Burns a 1/2 quart of oil (no big deal) but for the money it's been a good deal.

Holy Damn !!!!! Lol 😆 🤣 sheessh bro Bravo on that one
Are you sure you aren't mistaking a 3 for an 8 on the odometer? Even 322K would be extraordinary.
Old Toyotas still very expensive even with lots miles unbelievable. Those trucks are unstoppable.
First gen tundras can still be found for 10k or more and the truck is like 20 years old lol those 4.7s were the best motor Toyota made

97 3/4 ton GMC with a 350 here. It fires up everytime, pulls way more than it says on paper and with no problem. I highly encourage to install beefier front end. Since I did that, no issues, no clunking and drives straight as an arrow. Also, the motor is so easy and simple to work on! It sounds really good with straight pipes too 😉. Classic American V8 rumble
#1 lesson go to Tennessee to buy a pickup with no rust and a good exhaust system.
How true that statement really is today
I have a 1995 chevy Silverado with 271000 miles on it and still runs like a champ

GM products are garbage
Scotty just increased all of these trucks resale values lol
I’ve got a 94 Silverado with almost 600k on it 4 wheel drive damn good truck since I bought it with about 130k on it I’ve only changed out the radiator, starter, alternator, dist cap, and the thermostat that’s it! Basic things still churps the tires and will down shift smooth and gets up and goes best truck I’ve ever owned
Mine had 385k on it when I sold it..Ran flawless.Needed a trans rebuild but beside that it was a tank
I have a 97, 5.7 Lt. Has 310,000 km. Had it for 21 years. The engine is bullet proof. I do a lube, oil and filter every 5,000 km.
To bad GM put themselves at the bottom of the list.
I've owned a few of those truck and never had any serious problems with any of them, the Chevy 350, 5.7 liter engines will run forever and if you ever do need parts for them they are easy to find and dirt cheap too since they ran that body style for 10 years.
Chevy engines run long and strong. Problem is, what will make the vehicle undrivable is everything else on the vehicle will be falling off.
I've got a '95 2WD 1500 with almost exactly 200k miles on it and I just had an unusual problem.. the U-bolts that hold the rear end to the leaf springs rusted into. Luckily, I was on the dirt road when they broke. I tried to back up and the rear end rolled forward and dropped my drive shaft, broke my E-brake cable, both brake lines and egg shaped the hole in my drive shaft for the U joint. I'm about to get it going again and will be glad to have it back. I was considering selling it but it's so easy to work on and dependable that I guess I'll just start fixing the stuff that's neglected on it. Motor is still great but need to replace my valve cover gasket. My 4L60E doesn't like to shift down in a hard acceleration, which gets on my nerves but other than that it runs great.
My brother had a 1989 Chevy short bed step side and he pulled a gooseneck trailer hauling hay. That truck would put in the work and nothing today has ever come close to how that truck performed. Still in awe over that truck.
I have a 1998 GMC k2500. 5.7 liter. 138,000 miles. I changed the differential oil first time at 137,000 and I was completely surprised. It had no metal dust whatsoever in the bottom of the case. And I tow a boat with a cabover camper!
Those old gmcs / Silverado’s we use as work trucks. We put them to work they have 280k miles still running
the dang 4l60e that comes in them are their weak spot. cant beat their engines tho
I have a 2007 gmc 1500 wt with 280,000 on it. Starts right up.

I drove a '99 Silverado with the OBS body style and the Z71 package in highschool, and it was, and still is, my absolute favorite truck. Nothing even comes close to how much I adored that truck. I made that 350 Vortec run for all it was worth when I took it out into the hills around my hometown and it never let me down. I need to get my wife and I another 90's series Silverado or Sierra.

Still driving the 02 Tundra I bought new. Just getting broken in at 170k. Love this truck, we’ve done a few cross country trips towing a small camper, charging up and down Rocky Mountain passes like a beast. Other than some brake issues when it was still under warranty, it’s never let me down.
💩💩💩💩
Nice, I’m thinking about buying one.
Bought a Tundra new back in 2016. Couldn’t justify an F150 - the tundra was $10k less comparably equipped and zero issues after five years and 67k miles. Runs like new.
Tbf 67k miles is nothing
You have chosen wisely.
It's kind of ironic that a 2004 F150 can tow more than the 2021 Tundra can and still hasn't broken down and similarly equipped technology wise...
@@Michael-yc9ex it does depend on which versions of each so we're comparing apples to apples. The 2021 F-150 is the class leader, I think, but the 2004 F-150 with the max payload package tows about the same as the middle of the current Tundra line, I believe. The upper end of Tundra is 10,100 or 10,300
I had the opposite buying experience. Deals on Tundras are wayyyy tougher to get, but Toyota really doesn’t want to sell more than 100,000 Tundras a year.
Scotty, I have a 2000 Ford Ranger with the Vulcan V6 in it. Still going strong after 366,000 miles! These are great trucks and they are still available out there.

A brand new GM crate motor cost me $2,094 shipped to my door. Still driving the thing at 300K and it still has the original transmission, and everything works great. Only issues as of late, all the rubber suspension parts are starting to make noise and need to be replaced. No big deal. Rock solid truck and 1996-1998 was DEFINATELY a sweet spot for these trucks.

I owned 2 different 93 Silverado’s. They had some minor issues but they were cheap and easy to fix and ran forever. The only issue is being in Canada they rusted out. First one ran 325k km before I got rid of it and the second had 435k km. Both still had original engine, transmission. They definitely don’t make em like they used to.
Yup thats for sure! Gm made solid trucks until the body change in late 07 when they were going tits up. There's already a 2016 chevy in the wrecking yard here in sask because the frame rotted out....the whole truck is rotted out.

2019 F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab Fx4 short bed 6.2 liter gas. 9 recalls later and 3 trips to the shop for "death wobble" or "steering wheel oscillating" as the dealer called it. I couldn't get rid of that truck fast enough. To this day I still get new recall notices in the mail.
97 Tacoma owner here. 2.4 with 5 speed 2WD 300K miles runs like a champion. It was a base model with no A/C. So I bought everything to bolt the a/c on.
