My buddy got in an accident and his emissions stuff fell off his Nissan. After that his engine was awesome. 250k miles of hard oil field use. Amazing how that happened.
Not the first time that I have read about that happening during an accident. You'd think they would look into that but we all know they hate recalls.
Emissions stuff fell off. 😂
They all need to experience that fender bender! 😂
My emissions is still intact and I haven’t had any issues.
@@Hollywoodeatsordrinksit cherish that truck. You got yourself a unicorn. Glad you don’t have any issues
I love my 13 5.7 power wagon. You also forget to mention that the 5.7 power wagon has 4.56 gears while the 6.4 only gets 4.10 gears.
The 2008-2010 Ford super duty with the 6.8 triton V10 is a very good truck. Very reliable.
I had a 5.7 hemi in my 2500 work truck, it was way better than the 6.0 in my older Silverado. Was pleasantly surprised when towing.
Are you being fr? Thats crazy I figured it wouldn't be aswell I think it has less torque than the 6.0
He’s not wrong. I have a 2017 2500 6.0. It was so gutless and frustrating with any load. Luckily, I had a tune put on and it runs way better.
@@CodySimoncelli-of7xxthat’s why they’re gutless. The 6.0 has to be neutered in order to maintain emissions and fuel economy standards. They run leaner than they should under a load and pull timing and you get absolutely terrible towing out of them. Meanwhile you uncork them they’re torque monsters
No GM has the worst diesel engine ever built hands down the 350 converted to a diesel. When the autos came with the 350 diesel and people were buying them for nothing and were outing 350 gas crate motors in them and they would double or triple their money when the sold them .
@@brentmcmahon8188the most reliable diesel GM made was the LBZ duramax
That was excellent the Power Wagon 5.7 Hemi paired with the 4:56 gears gets up and goes pretty good. Notice there was nothing bad to say about it. Sure it doesn’t have the 6.4 but still a great truck.
Emissions is what made the 5.0 unreliable and inefficient. It had potential. Those who deleted and tuned found that potential and reliability.
Nah they are hot garbage.
@@DeepDishPizza How? DEF pump failures, Bad EGR valves and EGR coolers are all related to emissions. All related to the demise of the Cummins 5.0. Those failures result in rough idles, misfires, false regens and poor performance overall. Did I miss anything?
@DeepDishPizza you didn't explain how anything Paul said was incorrect. I drive 2016 titan xd with cummins, has 80k. Mine is deleted and tuned and it runs good
Better fuel mileage then any of my other trucks I have own. I am happy with my purchase
@@DeepDishPizza I noticed you avoided his question and didn't explain why he was so incorrect. Instead you told us you drive like miss Daisy and have a reliable Honda. haha
@@DeepDishPizza😂
I had two duallys with the 5.7. 2004 and 2008. I thought they were good trucks. Very reliable and low cost to run. Not fuel wise but everything else.
Not to mention all the HD 5.7s were non MDS. They did well in the contracting world
@@williammorgan5987 sad truth is despite not having MDS that engine in that 2010 was built to have it and it suffers the same issue with the cam and lifter failures sadly I know this all too well I had a 2011 cam and lifters failed at 114,000 km
@@440x 2011 with 400k on it. CHange your oil stop idling your truck issues been beat to death for years
We had a 2003 ram 2500 5.7l hemi magnum. Sold it with almost 250k miles. I miss that truck, I wouldn’t have hesitated to run it accross the country and back. Still had the original never rebuilt transmission also that had no issues, and was used to haul a 5th wheel camper before we got it then we hauled a gooseneck Horne trailer with furnished living quarters all over the state. Truck never left me stranded, and would still light the tires up when we sold it.
HEMI is no joke but underpowered for heavy-duty use but definitely NOT the worst engine, its the least worst of this video and excellent for the 1500 (390/407 til 2012 now 395/410 hp/lb ft tq).
Agreed. Greatest half ton, non boosted V8 available. Just not big enough for an HD.
For that time the hp and torque numbers weren’t bad at all, and with a good rear axle ratio it wouldn’t be bad at all. The 5.7 Hemi is a great motor and don’t deserve to be on this list. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.
ford 6.2, Non AFM vortec, coyote, just to name a few that are MUCH better@@robertannable9584
As someone who has a 2005 powerwagon I agree. Being underpowered is easily my biggest grip. But in the 3 years of ownership it's been super reliable
@pro4xtrdpro376 Tundra IForce 5.7 only has 381hp. Less power and torque than the Eagle heads 5.7 Hemi. And the Nissan 5.6 is even slower than the Tundra.
I love that your guy's are doing videos on used trucks that the common working person can somewhat afford! Thank you its crazy how much new trucks are now and days!
My brother has a 2WD RAM 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. It's been great. No engine issue, and plenty of power. Not a huge, heavy PW though.
I have a 2018 Nissan 5.0 Cummins and I love it. One of the best trucks I’ve ever owned. Although I will say the later years 18-19 were the better ones. By that time they had fixed most the issues with that engine. Bad marketing is what led to its demise imo.
If I had to choose one of the three, I'd take the 5.7L Power Wagon as well. Last year, I was looking for a truck and wanted a Toyota Tundra but I couldn't find one within my price range. Another truck I was considering was a Ford SVT Raptor but again couldn't find one one for the right price.
I ended up with a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500hd Vortec. I could of went for the 1500 but those have active fuel management and I've heard that those engines can get oil sludge buildup and lifter failure. The Silverado 2500hd gasser I bought doesn't have active fuel management and despite the heavier weight and putting bigger tires on it, I still average 11-13mpg in it. Plus its engine, an "LS" LY6, has lots of performance potential!
Nice I also have a 2008 2500 6.0 and it’s been an amazing truck. A 1500 would have been fine, but it’s nice to have a little extra capability and a very reliable engine. Noticeable more low end torque towing then a 5.3 also
How are you only getting 11-13? I easily got 16. And if I took it easy I could get over 18.
Most I ever got was 22.6. Was perty flat ground and I wasn't hauling much extra weight. Was headed south on i95 outa NC and headed towards Augusta on i20
@@sedric6153 The reason why I get less mpg than you is because I live in a high desert area that's over 4000ft above sea level.
My 09 Eagle heads 5.7 Ram had 250k miles and never gave me any issues before i sold it. I deleted MDS and tuned it and it was a solid work horse.
My 05 Ram pre eagle 5.7 is now at 200k miles and still runs like new.
I have the Titan gasser and its an awesome truck!
It’s sad that Navistar intentionally under engineered the 6.4 for Ford. They were being sued by Ford at the time for the problems that they were having with the 6.0 trying to get Navistar to pay for all of the warranty replacements that Ford was having on them. Navistar obviously didn’t want to pay due to the high costs, and didn’t have the budget (nor motivation) when designing the 6.4, due to the litigation costs. Hence they split ways after the 6.4 and Ford designed the 6.7 in house
That's a rather single sided version of the story. Ford rushed the 6.0 to market with the 7.3 being phased out due to emissions, and was at the design table for both engines. Neither were simply Navistar engines that Ford just chucked into their trucks.
Ford also dictated the turbo supplier and that was the biggest problem with the engine.
The 6.7 ford is a pos....nice fairy tale about navistar...
Ford screwed up both the 6.0 and 6.4. Both of the engines were designed for what was originally intended and proven to work well with not nearly the issues they had in the Fords compared to the International versions. The VT365 and Maxxforce 7 were not known for the failures. As stated, the issues were caused by ford rushing or trying to change designs too rapidly when the product was already being pushed out. It wasn’t International’s fault, it was Ford’s.
The 6.4 also came single turbo from Navistar, ford put the twin turbos on it, also ford and Navistar where sueing each other over all the 7.3 recalls that went on, but some how everyone for got about them.
As always great content!
As far as the power wagons go, prices are all over the place. I have seen 2010s for 15k with like 100k on them and 2020s with close to 150k for 58k and literally everything in-between. And the 6.4 didn't come out until 2014 model years. A lot of guys love their 5.7 power wagons. I really like my 2017 so I'm pretty much sold on the 6.4 hemi.
Sunroof popped when he closed the door on that Ford 😄
PW would be my choice! HP is for speed and this is an off-road beast that doesn't need to go fast. Besides that, an engine swap or some upgrades could easily turn the PW into a formidable truck. IMHO
When Ram started putting the 5.7 Hemi into their pickup trucks back in 2003, it was the only gas V8 option for Power Wagon/Heavy Duty until 2014.
Powerwagon would be my pick, by a mile.
There's an easy way to bulletproof that F250, you just have to Cummins convert it, the transmission is actually really good in those trucks.
Ford has always made the best transmissions.
@@waterloo123100Maybe in HD trucks, but the ones in the 80's and early 00's Rangers and Explorers were garbage LOL. The old C6 3 speed auto in my 88 F250 is still going strong...the 460 needs overhauled though thanks to my uncle not maintaining it.
That Powerwagon could be made into a monster quite easily...
For worst engine in a great truck... the hemi wagon doesnt deserve to be on the list. So many other trucks that could be on that list
5:37 i agree with Nathan - 2020+ Titan XD with 5.6l gas engine and 4.08 rear end is a very capable recreational tower.
Out of those three I would definitely take the Power Wagon.
The front hitch is used for both maneuvering trailers around and also as an attachment point for accessories like a winch.
i love these videos, they’re so informative on what vehicles to avoid like the plague💀🤣
Titan XD gets a bad wrap, most owners never had a diesel truck and neglect proper maintenance. My 2016 has been exceptional to us. Small issues here and there but has always been reliable even as my main tow rig hauling horses in a 3 horse steel trailer weighing around 12,000 lbs loaded and tows way better than my 2018 F250. Paid under 40k and got way more truck for my money. 2016 Pro4X with 126,000 miles.
same here, my titan xd cummins has been to the arctic and back and she still runs like a champ today with 165,000 kms on it. everyone always asks me about it. really is a unicorn
Skipping routine maintenance is the problem with all 3 of those trucks....people buy these types of vehicles to show off to their friends and family about how much money they thought they had, but don't have any brains...and the first thing they do is skip the regular oil/filter changes because they think it costs too much and well, you end up with the trucks at the auction that aren't running worth a damn as a result.
As the proud owner of a 2011 Power Wagon with only 56,000 miles, I can confidently say even with the 5.7L it’s a very capable truck. I tow my Wrangler 392 while hauling my FWC camper without issue. I purchased it brand new from Cherry Creek Dodge in Denver, CO in July of 2011 and other broken exhaust manifold bolts it has been issue free. It literally still feels like it’s brand new!
Oh good!! I have a ‘20 Ram 1500 with the 5.7. And I had to have the exhaust manifold bolts replaced. Glad to know they have had this problem for a long time and haven’t fixed it yet!!😂
Very common problem on numerous engines that use dissimilar metals. The the block being aluminum and the manifold being steel the expansion and contraction causes the bolts to stress and break with heat cycles.
@@kcp7042i have a 2006 dodge durango with 5.7 hemi....nothing done except alternator, battery cable ends...150k....super reliable...fun to drive...
About 4mpg loaded and 7mpg unloaded. Hahaha
@@Rexwagon1 my 2019 powerwagin 6.4 gets 15.5 hwy mpg, 16-17 if i slow down beliw 65mph....im from the days of 6-7 mpg 3/4 tons back in the 60s so hemi is very good economy....
5.7 hemi is a great engine. The 6.4 powerstroke, 6.0 powerstroke, 5.4 triton are the worst engines
The check engine light in the Superduty is to let you know the engine is still there. If it’s out, you have a real problem.
I've owned a 6.0L and a 6.4L Powerstrokes and both of them were stock and both of them made it over 200,000 miles and were running strong when i sold them. Maintainance is huge especially on those engines. People forget that most of those engines were pretty reliable but obviously some of them were catastrophic failures which is where the reputation comes from.
Exactly, maintenance is key and watching your egts
From a guy that works in Ford parts 17 years this statement is right on. 👍 I will say though a 6.0 is the better of the two and can bulletproofed much easier than a 6.4. I don’t own either I have a 7.3 with a ZF6
Our ‘04 Ford F250 Super Duty plow/farm truck with farm plates just hit 70k miles. We’ve had it for 13 years. Even though it’s maintained, it does live a hard life. An issue always arises every year. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Ford in the video was a farm truck with farm plates. Explains the lower mileage for the age.
Well I cant comment on the other two rigs but my 13 PW (odd year bc it has 5.7 and is last year w 4:56s, rear leafs and first year w the 6 speed trans. and the 14+ interior) and has been dead nails for 170k. It does have a host of goodies like factory cold air, bypass locker kit, all Thuren suspention parts and 2.5 kings w 37s. (and yes she will burn em) The big girl has done Sherman Jeep trail, Gold Mountain, and a host of other trails that not many full size rids want any part of. Plus w the Thuren and kings the PW is a pretty decent Pismo sand toy. YES, i do wish for an additional 200 hp but as she sits now she does not tow anything and although its not fast it is far from slow.
With that being said i do have Hellcat and Coyote power envy🤣
GREAT channel guys.
Thanks for the info and fun entertainment w your great shows.
I really like my 5.7 but only because it's paired with the ZF8. Was the main reason I went with Ram, and now I am really interested in the new i6 engine. Yeah the V8 rumble will be gone but that's what my 1928 T bucket is for 🎉
This being a 2010 means its got the Gen III .5 Eagle motor. S7 E3 Dave and the Steves on Engine Masters made 498.5 HP with just a cam swap. And I've seen even more gains using the exact same cam specs, with upgraded springs and valve relieved pistons. As for the I6, yes they lost to cylinders, but in the best way. The I6 is a zero compromises engine. They sound great, have lots of power, and forgo every single engineering compensation because NONE are needed.
1st ram 7 yes ago after decades of GMs. Now a Ram fan!
I think they are testing it where I live. I’ve seen a test mule hauling a trailer with metal weights bolted down, and it didn’t have a Cummins. It was a crew with dual rears, and a flatbed.
To say the 6.4 powerstroke has a negative reputation is an understatement 😂 but man they put out good power for their time
So sad with the Nissan Cummins. I remember the anticipation of that engine, they kept delaying the release and then it was just never that good. So much potential lost.
Front hitch can be great for backing in a trailer. You can buy aftermarket front hitches that bolt right on.
The early 4th gen Power Wagons came out right when I started really getting into cars (I was 11) and the 2010-12 was my favorite. It still is my favorite. It was a brute of a truck, with the 4.56 gears and 5 speed. One day I will own one, but not a 2010 but a 2017-18 that looks like a 2010 (one of the magazines called it the A-team graphics and it stuck).
I've always liked the Power Wagon. If I wanted/needed a big, burly pickup, I'd probably try to get a first gen Power Wagon.
People always overlook the Ford 3v v10s from 2005-10. They are extremely reliable, powerful, tow excellent, and cheap and simple to maintain. Mpg not horrible either, for what it is.
Don’t they spit out spark plugs?
@@agy234nope, not after 02-03
I have the same RAM Power Wagon with the ,5.7 hemi. Has 250k miles on it with no mechanical issues whatsoever. It'll make 1million miles I'll guarantee it ! Can't afford to but the new over priced trucks selling today. Too much add on crap that takes it to a luxury car.Trucks should not need to be "fast" ! I'll also bet most every vehicle on the auction lot with have the check engine on. I watch you guys regularly but you're not really always correct with your information.
Count your self as lucky. I had a 13 Powerwagon. Biggest POS I’ve ever owned.
@@slimtnyit’s the best truck I’ve ever had as well. Only the 5.7 but definitely enough power for me. 240,000 miles not one issue.
We had that 5.7 in our heavy duty, work truck in construction. That thing was always shop for engine and transmission issues
know a guy that had a nissan titan diesel, he always had a gasser titan and loved it, but when he got the diesel in true cummis fassion, went through 3 transmissions in under 10k miles. On the 3rd one he gave that truck back and went and got a ram with a 6.7
My Titan xd 150k has been deleted and it’s running great completely different truck without the emissions💪.
The new Gen Dodge trucks with their 6 cylinder turbos will soon join this video
our company 6.4L still works fine, 1ton, short bed with a crane body in back, no issues... 2009, always sounded great
Many of those front hitches were used for winches that could be taken of and put in the rear hitch. Main reason I sold them. One or two for bike racks when pulling a trailer.
Biggest issue with the 5.7 is shitty oil pump and the mds shut down. Shit will eat up your cams and send metal shavings through all the oil galleries. If it gets to that motor is done and from the forums I see roughly after 150k
Power Wagon 5.7L doesn’t have MDS. MDS was only in the 1/2 ton application.
oh well thats one bonus for sure then@@scorpio13617
I tow a 10,000-pound fifth wheel with mine And have no problems with the truck. We love it.
I had the 2004 Nissan Titan king cab 5.6. That would have smoked the tire half way down that stretch. That was the first year and it was plagued with a few issues but I never had any with mine. Kept it for 13 years. It only had 85000 miles on it and it still ran great but rusted like crazy. It did love gas stations though lol.
The 04 Nissan 5.6 V8 only had 305hp… 5.7 had 345hp in 04. And the Tundra 4.7 only made 240hp.
@@speedracerjeff It was a pretty deceptive 305hp. though. The first day I got the truck I was telling my friend it felt really fast. He had a very nice 2004 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi single cab. After work we decided to race. I left him in the dust. We did it two more times and I walked on him every time. I let him drive it and he was pretty amazed. he said it felt like a muscle car with a bed. On paper he had 40 hp. on me but in actuality it felt like I had a hundred on him. I ended up putting a JBA cat back exhaust and Injen intake on it. That truck surprised a lot of cars at stoplights over the years I had it.
@@tomearly111 I need to drive a 5.6 Titan. I almost bought one this summer, my friend was selling his real cheap, just needed cosmetics but I waited too long then he sold it.
5.7Ls were fine in the HDs, just the 545/66RFE that killed it. Luckily that pre-2014 should have 4.56 gears and not taller like the newer / non-power wagon trucks
6.4 powerstroke is the world's worst
That’s your opinion. 367k miles on mine and still going strong!
Powerjoke
Idk I almost think the 6.0 was the worst. Thats why I like the 5.9 ;)
@@dakotabrown68506.0 could be fixed. No fix for the blocks cracking on that 6.4
@@DeepDishPizzayou’re lucky.. those motors typically fail big time blocks splitting etc
I got away from diesel engines. I’m a ford guy and bought a 2023 F350 with 7.3 gas. Probably my favorite truck yet. I just hope this year engine has the bugs worked out from the first and second generation with the rollers delaminating.
Any of these trucks would sell quick.. 20-30k$.. is like a dream compared to 100k plus today
Unfortunately, these diesels took the hit as test emissions dummies for these manufacturers
Damn government more worried about our small engines rather than china and India
Uncle had an 08 Super duty with the powerstroke diesel in it. I like the bodystyle, but not the disel. I would prefer the gas V10. 😊
I would pick the power wagon and put a stroker kit on the 5.7 and I believe it would have more HP than the 6.4 but you would also need to upgrade the transmission.
The Power Wagon was the top full size off-road truck, with the Raptor close behind. (Depending on what you do off-road the order could be switched.) now there’s the Silverado ZR2 (less $ than the GMC AT4X) that’s the best. You can drive the ZR2 reasonably fast AND rock crawl with BOTH front & rear lockers!! It’s lighter, better fuel economy, (especially the diesel version) and similar or less $$!! You can get the Tradesman version of the Power Wagon if you don’t mind giving up a lot of features (it’s still very loaded up with features mind you) for about $6,000 less Canadian. That’s a truck I really like. Ram also has upped the payload towing capabilities so it’s a better option in both if those aspects now. The Power Wagon is HEAVY though,,,,.
Now ZR2 AND Power Wagon “don’t care”!! 😂😂
Most don’t buy a power wagon to tow with they buy it because it’s a power wagon, some simple mods and that truck will make good power, both of those diesel’s are money pits and headaches
Had the 6.4 built and tuned it was an awesome beast never any engine problems either
Interesting... I've got the same Ford Super Duty chrome grill hanging on my wall...fits 2008-10 model
You could get the Power Wagon with a manual G56 trans….. there was one for sale in my area and I wish I had the space for it
We had the 2010 F250 6 something I don't remember. If we said the engine ppl would say "oh ya sorry, bad year". So it must have been bad. Anyway loved the truck, it was great except if you wanted to go out to dinner. We called it the death rattle. That thing would make you sick to your stomach after dinner with all the bouncing and typical jarring. My boyfriend called it a farm truck, I called it nauseating. We thought it was just ours until we talked to a lady who had the same one and they refused to take it out on date night. I miss that truck but my Ram is much smoother and doesn't make me sick after meals.
It kill me when people claim all Ford V10s have the spark plug blowing issues. By that year model, the V10s (and 5.4s) has the opposite problem you cant get them out without the fear of breaking them.
Neighbor had to have his engine replaced in Titan xd. Was able to get it coved under warranty but it was like pulling teeth. I think it had 80k. Ouch
THANKS NATHAN, ANDRE, BRENDAN AND CAMERA NINJA KASE
There's a local contractor here with a ram 2500 crew Cab long bed lifted on 37s that pulls a big dump trailer all the time 😂 I feel so bad for that little half ton motor
I hate dodges with a passion, but in this Turd trio I'd have to go with the Ram with the lockers and Hemi
My dad has a 5.7 2500 and surprisingly it moves pretty quick.
I worked at a truck outfitter place in 2008 when the fords came out with the 6.4 and the duramax lmm was just brought out and we had the go ahead from one company to race the two and the lmm absolutely destroyed the 6.4. Plus there are 1000’s of lmm’s on the road yet and almost every 6.4 has been either junked or had the engine replaced multiple times or guys kept the ford truck and put a cummins in them and made them into a great truck
There’s tons of 6.4’s around. Just depends on what part of the country you’re in.
Good God, the 3v V10 DID NOT THROW SPARK PLUGS!
Y’all should do a similar series as the old toyota one but with pre emission diesels. 2000-2007 with a $15,000 budget per contestant.
Then do a Ike gauntlet, tow loop mpg, drag race, & whatever else y’all wanna do to milk out the investment of the 3 trucks.
Yes Duramax with pre emission still better
My opinion, Ram 5.7 in the review, power & 5 speed trans was actually better than what was being offered from ford or gm (5.4 & 6.0)at the time except for the ford v10. I do agree they have had their issues (cam, lifter, timing chain, valve seats).
Again, my opinion, Ram had an excellent opportunity to make significant improvements with the 6.4 and chose mediocre performance gains and to retain similar reliability issues. I’ve owned several Ram (Cummins) trucks over the past 25 years & they’ve been pretty good. I am disappointed with their seemingly lack of desire to push development or improve reliability on the 6.4.
Would be a giant waste of cash. Government regulations dictate they don't spend valuable r&d dollars on things they won't be able to build. Learned their lesson from the eco diesel fiasco
@@omardevonlittle3817 well, I was referring to the timeframe when they would’ve been developing the 6.4 for use in the HD Ram trucks and opted to go with a mediocre increase over the 5.7 ratings, which was well before the whole ecodiesel emissions thing. HD trucks usually have lower restrictions on emissions and don’t factor into CAFE standards. So, if they could swing stuffing a 700+ hp Hellcat engine in just about every class of vehicle that did have to meet those requirements, you’d think they could’ve done better than the 410 hp 6.4 Hemi with questionable lifters & cam for the past 10 years.
That vibration on the 6.4 is an unbalance on the engine from cylinder 8. Most(all) 6.4's that did have not an accident and lose the regen eventually killed off the number 8 cylinder.
My buddy has a 2019 Titan in the shop right now and they had to replace the whole engine. No tune no nothing. My boss bought 2 for work trucks and they both ended up with major issues. We deleted one and it helped a lot but we have employees that drive it like they stole it and blew up the turbos. Junk motors, the 5.0 Cummins
If the Ford had the V10, it would’ve been the best truck there. And quite possibly the best truck of the time. Only thing it lacked was fuel economy. They fixed the spark plug issue in 2005 with the 3V variant and no camphaser issues since it wasn’t VVT.
I have a 99 F250 V10...I did the spark plugs and coils right after I bought it. It had 184k on it, and a pretty bad misfire on a couple cylinders. I got the plugs replaced and new coils and has been great ever sense. Other than being a pain in the ass to get to the back plugs it wasn't too bad to change them. Its a workhorse engine, not for going fast, but it'll work all day long for you.
2v plugs you over torque them
Agreed - except they did change the plug/thread design around 2002. So, the 03-04 2v didn't have this issue. And, mpg is not bad at all for what it is.
@@michaelmurray7284 I really do love my 3V V10. 362 hp, 460 lb-ft of torque. It’s no diesel, but it tows great and will spin the tires off a dead stop. It’s fun and sounds good, especially with an exhaust from Flowmaster.
Yeah, I have one as well, 2010 F350 v10 4x4. Awesome truck, tows great, super reliable. @@willcultra3268
Loved my 5.7 hemi damn thing was pretty fast. Got my first ticket in highschool with that ram doing 120+
You should bring a scan tool next time so you guys can pull the codes on the fly and see what they say
1:53 funny enough he mentioned “Triple Nickel” when discussing 5.0 V8 Cummins, as they haven’t released a V8 engine since the V series in the 1960-70’s, and the 555 Cu in “Triple Nickel” was one in the series, possibly one of the worst engines they made
I would absolutely love to own that power wagon. Amazing truck
The Titans really are good trucks! I prefer gas though. I don’t have much towing needs
Didnt those early 5.7 power wagons have 4.88 gears tho?? Vs 6.4 with 4.10?
The Titan XD could have been great if they increased the Payload to 3000 lbs..
The engine was just right, imo.
Powerwagon with 5.7 and low gears was fine.. the 6.4 is not vastly different.
I owned both
The 6.0-6.4 sounded like great , but way too much liability unless you're a diesel mechanic
How come you don't bring a scan tool and scan them for stored trouble codes??
These vehicles are about to go up on the auction block. There could be some issues regarding the sellers, and some buyers, if we show codes.
The Hemi is good just delete MDS and throw in a hellcat oil pump. That thing will last forever.
Incorrect!
@@DeepDishPizzalol dude, you walk around in this comment section telling people their wrong without any info as to why. Your comments are a waste
@@mattweeks2272well he's kinda right. You don't need to do anything to your Hemi to get 300k miles unless you get a lemon
@@omardevonlittle3817 except for the fact that 2009-current 5.7 hemis do suffer from oil starvation when idled for long periods of time, which leads to the lifter failure. Hence the reason for the upgraded oil pump.
@@mattweeks2272 Got a reaction out of you didn’t I? Exactly!
Ford's gas 7.3 is the best thing they have come up with in years because it means you can finally get one of their excellent trucks without the total joke of an engine the Powerstrokes are.
Maybe bring a cheap code reader and see why the check engine light is on. It would be interesting to know.
The zero gravity seats only come in the Platinum Reserve Titans.
Halfway through the video and pretty sure the power wagon is clicking which is a leak in the exhaust manifold. Causing the check engine light to be on
The 6.4 Powerstroke was the result of the horse power and torque wars.
Navastar designed for around 375 horse power, which was less than the Duramax 6.6. Ford got involved after Navastar wouldn't turn up the screw (not a real screw but tuning) to make more power.
Ford programed the ECU for more power and the result was a grenade with the pin pulled waiting to go boom.
The F350 at auction with the bald tires, says at a minimum of $2500 in front end parts,(springs, shocks, front diff, bearings, brakes) and quite possibly a transmission, as plowing snow commercially will beat every nut and bolt lose and trash the front end.
The 2011/2012 6.7 Powerstroke is also problematic with glow plugs and injectors.
The 11-14 6.7L engines had tons of turbo problems also.
I purchased a regular Nissan titan with the 5.6 V8 best bang for the buck since there isn't that name brand recognition they sell for a lot less
I'm glad I have 7.3 . I love my truck. 🥳
I would love to see you guys do a video of what truck you would choose in Todays market for a price of 20xxx and under 120,000 miles. And no older than 10yrs. Because then it’s harder to get a loan for.
My neighbor bought a brand new 2003 dodge Ram 3500 2wd dually and they have a horse ranch they had no problems with anything on it and the towed with it a lot
If only the Ram Powerwagon could also come with 6.7 Cummins as well....
I got news for you
EPA emissions are what made both the Ford 6.4 and Cummins 5.0 so bad. If you remove all of the emissions junk, they're pretty decent.
The way the hemi was ticking, and dinged when you got on the gas (likely CEL flashing for misfire..) id bet the cam is smoked
