I BOUGHT The Most EXPENSIVE Truck 6 Months Ago... Then I Neglected It

- I bought the cheapest 2018 Ford F-250 from CarMax 3 years ago and it's been an amazing truck. So it made sense when I went to buy a new truck it was another F-250. This time a brand new 2022 Ford F-250 Limited that was over $100,000. The goal wasn't to buy a Limited, but there were no Platinums for sale since almost every truck is pre-sold or sells within hours of the dealer listing them these days.

Take all your CDs and rip them down to mp3 files. Put them on a flash drive and plug that flash drive into the truck. That should "replace" your CD player.
Yeah that's a lot more of a PITA than just loading up the old zipper 3 ring binder with CD's. Or my old Lexus was "SO FANCY" with its 12 disc CD changer/Namachki stereo
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf I just did it for my wife. Swapped out her old school CD player from her 2013 Passat with a nice android auto head unit. Ripped her entire binder of CDs using 3 different USB CD drives. It only took a few hours to rip her entire collection. Uploaded the entire collection to our Google drive so we have remote access to them and also tossed them on an SD card and put it in the head unit. She has complete access to her old collection now.
CD's are awesome
@@AaronSmith-kr5yf I had the Kenwood changer back in the day. Having my music on USB was worth the effort. We're spoiled nowadays.
Or just use a streaming service.
I work at a Ford dealership, I've driven literally hundreds of these super duties over the past few years with the heavy duty 10-speed (as well as the F-150's and SUV's with the light duty 10-speed) - they all do what you're describing with the downshifting. I blame the computer, it's probably nothing major, just something you'll have to live with.
Fuel filters , air filter , oil and filter everytime
I have three friends who have Fords. All three say this is the last one. On the F150 you can buy a Tundra, better truck, for twenty thousand less than a Ford. Quality is the biggest reason for no more of them.
@@danielheartsill4269 he can’t write off a Tundra
I work at a ford dealer as well along with owning a 10 speed F150 and this comment is 100% correct. It’s really crap but that’s just how they are unfortunately
You don't see older trucks because you live and commute around white collar suburbia my guy. Out here in farm country, it's either old diesels or new gasoline trucks. Why? Because they get the shit beat out of them and nobody has time to deal with emissions shit. Especially now that a delete can't be done with just a sawzall. I personally own a fleet of 3 trucks with 7.3L powerstrokes and have a pallet of spare motors in the back of the shop. I will drive these old trucks until I die. Cheap, reliable, and easy to work on. Can't say that about the new flashy trucks.
ironically 6 months ago i bought a 2001 toyota tundra sr5 with 130k for 2500$. full service history, no leaks, 4 month old tires, interior is like new, was repainted back in june 2022. Only cheap cause someone hit my customer in the rear and smashed the tailgate in(still opens somewhat specially) and drove off, then after my customer got back on i95 and hit someone causing some front end damage. So i gave her an offer and bought it as is and its been pretty perfect! nothing needed so far but a drive belt that wouldnt stop squeaking
Take an awl or sharp punch and make a hole in the bottom of the oil filter and let it drain and no mess. Can't believe a smart guy like you doesn't do this.
I actually do have a 7.3 IDI. It’s power and towing capacity are laughable compared to todays trucks, but I don’t tow much. I bought it because that engine will last forever.
I had one of those in my 89 F350 for my first car. Doesn’t make enough power to hurt itself 😂
I can not justify a new truck solely because I have a 7.3L F350. Some turbo work and injectors and it will do what ever you ask and not miss a beat.
2000 F250 7.3 L super duty owner here. I just made a 450 mile trip over the weekend, I have 223,000 on my truck. I got about 18 five for mileage. I have learned during my oil changes, to take a punch and punch the filter before you remove it, this way it can drain without getting your hand wet at all. I hear you on the 13 quarts lol! I am still on the fence about the def thing. I have heard, mostly bad things, but I guess time will tell. I really like your truck, same color as mine.👍
After owning a 7.3 for 4yrs for the first time I did that trick. I knew abt it but just dealt w it. Service was much cleaner, & my hands weren’t completely covered in oil. Get a little EZ drain valve for ur oil pan, it’s got safety features, & I put a hose clamp on it as an added safety. No more messing with drain plugs, & no more risk of stripping out the pan.
You dont need a lift to change the oil....but it helps
Come to Eastern WA Northern ID and Western Montana. Old diesels are everywhere. Why? Most of us don't have 103K for a half put together truck with a fuel system ford will not warranty nor has the parts for. Same fuel system that was in your 2018 that you had so many issues with. But they smell great in a enclosed garage!
thank you for being a sensible diesel owner. .coal rollers and old trucks can ruin nice, windows down driving. As boring as new diesels are, they have proven their worth.
All that for $103k, huh?
Well, it was a good deal for someone.
I’ve got a 2021 F-150 Lariat and my transmission does just what you described. Out of the blue and for no reason 😖. I love my truck overall.
Just a heads up the CP4 will most likely not be covered under warranty if it blows up. They'll try and pull some water in the diesel bs to avoid warrantying it out. Happens to alot of people unless you have an amazing dealership. Best thing to do is swap to a aftermarket unit or get a kit that has filters between the pump and injectors so you don't destroy the injectors too when it blows. Less money to fix out of pocket. It could also never break so its a gamble pretty much.
My 2019 F350 does the same thing with hard downshifts. I was told that if you do a lot of towing the computer recognizes the shift points and you need to reflash the computer for it to relearn the transmission shift points.
I didn't know that there was diesel exhaust fluid. If you had mentioned that to me before, I would have thought it was like blinker fluid.
The seats will get dirty and there's nothing you can do about it? Never heard of seat covers?
There are companies that make seat covers that look and fit like factory upholstery or you can have an upholstery shop make and install them over the original. It’s been a while since I had a truck, but I always took mine to a professional shop and the covers kept the original upholstery pristine. Might make for a good video as well.
The dealer tells you to wait for oil change to come up on the dash. Well for 1 reason they want you to go over 3 times during your warranty so they can scan your computer when you have a failure. Then they tell you go away you went over too many times on your oil. Have a nice day😂.
Except they make money on servicing and they make money too on warranty jobs.......cool fake Karen comment though
Punch the filter with a center punch on the bottom to drain before removing. I also punch a hole up top near the base on the side to vent it.
A nice break from the resort but I’m honestly waiting for the interior to be done. I can’t wait to see it completely remodeled.
It’s getting close 💯
in all honesty, I see the old diesels more than the new ones, because the def systems break so much
I don't care if it uses DEF or not, but I'm personally kind of happy not to have to buy and use it in my 21 year old Duramax. Drove that truck off the dealer lot in 2002 and never went back. It's not as nice as the new trucks, but have you seen what trucks cost now?! Sheesh!
10 speed like the 6 speed (had) has some weird programming.
Now check with your Ford dealer about doing an S&S diesel CP3 update!
Dont need a cd player, im sure it has a USB port, i keep a thumb drive with over 1200 of my favorite songs on it, thats all I ever listen to.
My daughter had no clue she had cd player in her 2010 Honda CR-V let alone a 5 disc changer. She had no clue what that was.🤦♂️🤣
Get yourself a copy of Forscan downloaded and you can turn of individual chimes for warnings on almost anything on the Fords, like washer fluid low etc. I too was getting sick of the Ford chimes, almost all but the critical ones are now silent on my Focus ST. If you own a modern ford it's an essential bit of kit
Little tip to draining oil filters, Take a hole punch and poke a hole in it so the oil can drain out first before you unscrew it.
Based on Ford's Towing guide, they only rate the F250 up to 22,000lbs. The F350 shows 27,000lbs and F450/F550 can hit 37,000lbs depending on the configuration. Not sure where you got 30,000lbs on a F250. Obviously many engines can tow more than the rated, but the vehicle itself isn't heavy enough to stay in control of something very large.
Hi JR, can't you put seat covers on the seats to protect them? Watch your junk food intake, you do have a fully equipped RV at the mini resort, you can cook real meals in the RV. I would pass on a Mini Cooper. Loving the Mini Resort series. BTW, are you going to have full rv hookups at the resort? One video you mentioned the house was going having a new septic tank installed.
We haven't had one of these videos in quite a while. But the resort videos have been awesome!
I’ll take anything and everything BEFORE the dpf and def age of diesel trucks, they’re way more reliable and easier to work on and they can be built to high horsepower and torque (higher than new diesels)
Up on the rack for a second I thought you put some underglow in the big white Ford fluid holder...😆
I have a '21 F-150 3.5 with 30K miles and have the same issue with the trans every once in a while. The only other issue I have is with the gas tank. Its 36 gallons but it has to be 0 miles to empty for me to get over 30 gallons in it. I even took it to the dealer to check and make sure it had the 36gal and it does, weird.
Also I was not aware of the sec179 changes, doesn't affect me anymore but I used that when I bought my '09 Titan back in the day.
Keep up the great work!
I think the gas tanks have a so called "auxiliary/ reserve" thing so that if it says 0 miles, you're still able to drive a few extra miles, I think it's more just a safety-like feature
Magic number - 103. Your display showed that sweet Kansas summertime temp 103° F and $103,000 K for the ride.
Swamp cooler filter works great in place of those catch nets for the drain tank.
in florida we got tons of old diesels, since we dont have rust. but yeah so many 6.7s
I’ve always maintained the old school service standard. Every 3k change the oil and I’ve never had an issue. It may not be necessary but it makes me feel better. Lol I may just be getting old.
Quantity of oil definitely adjusts need.
I do have a 7.3. I drive it all the time... it has 355k on it. Pulls my camper great.
The manufacturing costs compared to the retail price of the truck is an outrageous disparity. In the B-economy it would be more financially smarter to buy a one or two year old F-250. But it's his truck and he is MAINTAINING it. A lot of truck owners that lease new trucks abuse them, then turn them in at the end of the lease. At least he's taking good care of his truck.
HotShots EDT when you fuel up & Stiction eliminator every oil change.
Is that ok to use in new diesel? Because I have a new diesel with 20,000 miles and I would like to start using additives or is it too soon?
Other than ignoring them, how do I deal with the CARFAX emails when I service my car myself? It’s pretty annoying.
The hard shift may be a Ford thing in general. I get a similar experience once in a long while in my SHO Taurus.
my 2017 Lincoln continental does it also. i believe the drive train is similar between the two?
DEF at the truck stops are like $3 and some change per gallon. Much cheaper than those boxes.
Keep it long long term. Not like it’s easily replaced.
Nice truck. A beast. Odd how the Ford dealer refused to change the oil, here in Europe they just do what the costumer asks. And that DEF liquid i was wondering what it was, is just Ad Blue 😂😂😂
Regarding the high pressure diesel pump, Diesel Army does a replacement pump that was designed for those engines and to last for ever.
Yeah, why Diesel Emission Fluid? (Is that what it stands for?)
@@ChrisPatrick-q6k Diesel Exhaust Fluid
To my knowledge it's an additive that significantly reduces the emissions that come out of the exhaust pipe, but I don't know much more than that
@@fatlessauto3 Yeah, it's the same stuff we call Adblue here in Europe. Well, I say Europe, I'm in the UK, some idiots destroyed the EU bit in 2016! ☹️
I have an Acura in the United States and the dealer is happy to change the oil whenever I ask. I suppose if I took it in really early they might mention it isn't really necessary, but I'm confident they would do it. 🙂
By my math, your abandoned mini resort videos are getting more views lately. This video's current view count proves my case in point. Now, I love all of your videos, and I'm sure your car video counts will climb yet again. I love the abandoned mini resort.
My 2018 mustang 10 speed did that, took it In to ford and they did an update and never had an issue since
I haven't had a CD player since 2017... But I've also had an old ipod nano plugged in via USB since then.
This guy doesnt pause to breath when he talks.
OK stupid question, why not get Def when you fuel up
There aren’t any pumps close to me with it 🍻
Yep, the shift pattern with 10 speed can be jerky 3rd thru 5th for me.
That weird transmission lurch also happens in their cars. I have a Fusion and it happens every now and then when driven at highway speeds. Strange but not a show stopper.
I have a '18 F-150. Ferd rebuilt the transmission at 35,000 miles under warranty. Terrible transmission, all I got was a 12 month warranty with the rebuild. I would never buy another Ferd product. I will sell within the year because I feel there will be long term problems. What the hey, Ferd got my money.
My '20 Ranger would do the hard shifting when first starting out after being parked at work all day. For a few seconds it felt like I had no power, then jerk and everything is fine after that. I had the dealer do a TCM update and that helped quite a bit.
I was primed for a mini-resort episode..............
DEF? Is that AdBlue?
It’s Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF. AdBlue is just a brand name. Yes AdBlue is DEF.
My 2021 F 150 only got 15 months out of the battery. covered under warranty, but was a pain in the neck.
I like the Truck and the Haircut style JR.❤
If I run out of DEF in the middle of the desert, can I just pee in the reservoir?
No, it’s close but you need fermented pee basically
In stop and go or congested freeway traffic ive found that sport mode works best for shifting. Im on my fourth vehicle with the 10 speed. Normal mode has way too many shift points and seems to be where the transmission really gets confused.
satellite radio is great
Your QT truck stop doesn't have DEF at the pump ? Tulsa's does.
We don’t have a QT Truck Stop at all, just regular car QT. The truck stops are cool though! 💯
Beautiful !
spent 103k but couldn't spend the extra $100 for WeatherTech mats ?
I'll detail your truck for you J.R. It's a beautiful truck!
Presumably DEF is what we call AdBlue in the UK?
Yes it’s the same thing
load up a flash drive with music if you have no CD player. works great for me when on the road
I'll keep my 03 7.3 powerjoke. It's paid for and does what I need, and I don't feel bad about leaving it sit until I need it.
You can put your cds on a usb hard drive.
I bought an XL for half that price at 2023. Same truck basically. WHY would you spend double for some auto floor boards and electric seats. The XL is just fine plus no carpet to mess up.
You just don’t see anywhere near as many diesels as back then too still see a hefty amount of excursions but most v10
$103,000…sheesh. You did need this truck given everything you do. Thanks for being transparent. I’ll stay poor over here LOL
Perhaps had to offset profit from selling the warehouses so he wasn't taxed on gains, so needed a giant business expense to 179 deduct fully in 2022.
@@mlindholm i understand. I’m just sad I can’t do the same thing. I’m happy for him. He’s smart
@@mlindholm yeah sure, that's the ticket
He arguably needed *some* kind of truck, but he didn’t need a $103,000 truck, and the rest of us definitely didn’t need to subsidize it for him.
white vinger is a great cleaner to get them stains out
My '19 F150 10-speed tends to get confused when I'm going a constant speed uphill - it goes 1-2-3-(skipping 4)-5- (back down to 4)-5 and then occasionally at the 2nd 5th shift it sounds like someone hit a 5 gallon bucket with a screwdriver (hollow clunk sound). TLDR; Hills confuse it.
103k thats nuts
Have a 2020 Expedition with a 10 speed and it does the same thing you described. I haven't caught it yet to confirm but I think it's when downshifting from 7th to 5th when braking.
Crazy huh mine does the same
My mustang 10 speed does the same thing. It likes to get confused sometimes.
Why do you BUY Def in canisters? In Germany, you can pump Def at every gas station just like your Diesel oil.
13:35 Do you have a USB Port, to connect an MP3 Player? Reason being, I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, and the guy used a Microsoft Zune to listen to music!
A possible candidate for your other channel - Microsoft Zune!
It can probably play MP3s directly from a thumbdrive seeing as it's a 2022.
How did you reset the oil life?
Now I may be wrong, but I believe the Shelby version of this truck would have been more expensive and would be way cooler than a f250 pickup just saying.
Just ask a Ram dealer about the CP4. All CP4s on the Cummins recalled and replaced with a CP3.
Absolutely none of that truck was needed... If you're towing that much a 3/4 ton work truck would do the same without all the bs frills...
yeah you hit it on the nail with taxes.
Thx for the tax clarity, I've always wondered how much it played into my favorite various auto TH-cam channels, I suspected a ton. :D I guess the changes will change the game a bit ...
As for the trans... Ford, at one point, had a trans that broke a spring somewhere in the valve body and it would slam into gear on occasion. Never did they issue an alert or recall and most dealers didn't know what the deal was. It took a lot of disassembly and investigation. I knew of at least 5 trucks F150-F250 that had that problem in So Cal... Just a thought
My 19 Expedition has the occasional harsh shift. It is fairly common amongst all the 10 speeds.
Regarding the seats - get some custom heavy duty seat covers, designed for Tradesmen. Don't go with the O'Reilly "customs", go with the proper stuff. Decent detailer should be able to get those marks out too.
Also as my mobile mechanic always says with new vehicles, always replace all the fluids within the first 1000km, as you don't know what the Dealer & their apprentice mechanics may have topped them up with on the lot. Go high quality from the start.
Yes, one can go as long as the dealer insists BUT there are competing concerns, he wants the engine to wear faster and you don't.
$103k for the Platinum!!!! Just curious about pricing on diesel trucks, went to Ford's website. Show some restraint on the option sheet, the F250 XLT/crew cab/4wd/high output diesel version of this truck with all the heavy duty and technology tow pack options is $74,160. That's enough of a difference to buy a bucket list car of mine, a really nice Honda S2000.
Need some running boards
I have a 2020 f250 and my battery leaked and was bad under 2 years.. total crap, got a agm one from the auto parts store good now! I didn't want to mess with def or potentially expensive repairs down the road (plan on keeping mine as long as I can) and got the 7.3 gas. I don't drive a ton and pull a camper once or twice a month max and drive short distances the rest of the time so it works great for me. I love that big screen on the newer ones! Mine does that on a downshift too like you described, but rarely, and I have no way to recreate it to take it in.
7.3 gas does seem like an awesome engine. From the comments it seems like all the 10 speeds are doing it 😳
@watchjrgo when do you plan to get a new shop again? Lol
‘22 F150 w/ 3.5Eco here. Love the 10 speed but that 10-9 downshift is definitely an attention getter sometimes….
what happened to your oil recovery system/vacuum, JR ???
It’s in storage 🍻
The 2011 model had a plastic oil pan but they eventually crack at the drain plug. Had to replace mine with a stamped pan.
I get the Windshield washer fluid and a yellow triangle on my dash... like it's keep to the operation to the vehicle. Annoying.
Poke a hole in the filter let it drain that way
I think the hard down shift is from it skipping gears. I know on my 2020 F-150 when its in drive and i press the plus button on the shifter it displays the gears and will tell me what gear it is in and have found it skips gears on up shifts and down shifts.
