Hey Scotty do a review of the Lexus Ls400's those engines are v8 bulletproof
Scotty Kilmer hey Scotty I’m getting a 2006 Volvo XC90 with 244000 kilometers and the timing belt changed at 183000 what are your thoughts
Henry Ford never designed crap, it was his brilliant design team the Dodge brothers!!!
*Question* : I'm thinking about buying my first car, I wanted a unique and cheap V8 besides Crown Vic. I saw a $2000 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora with 120,XXX miles, do you think it is worth it?
The LT4 is more comparable to Dodge and Ford. The LS9 and LT5 are certainly expensive
One thing you can never replace is that familiar sound the V8 makes
@Alex Eidenier in general 4 cylinder cars sound like someone taking a massive poop in an echo chamber toilet
Im gonna tell you which is the best v8 engine......I’m only including the worst v8 engines....not gonna include any of the really good v8 engines though
Couldn’t agree more 😂you know when it’s a v8💯💯
@Alex Eidenier it's the idle of a v8 that is totally disgusting. After 3000rpm any engine can sound great with a decent exhaust
@@seshelbow336 he excluded exotic cars beyond $100k and actually mentioned that in the video. These V8s are hard to beat in value.
The day V8 dies will be the darkest day in the American auto history.
@@AltosGarage
Is anyone except Dodge ?
But there is again that thing it's owned by Fiat so what's gonna happen in the future is in the stars.
@@AltosGarage
Be it whatever automaker I unfortunately dont believe they will keep V8s once electro engines get at more reasonable capacities and price.
Maybe Ford,Dodge,Chevy and some of the Euro automakers will try to keep V8s for their Muscle and Super cars,but one day even they will fall :/
I can already see how are car companies gonna get customers exactly into a position they want them to be when they release a warranty and batteries that will start malfunctioning right after it ends.
You mean darker than the loss of Oldsmobile and Pontiac?
As long as there are medium to heavy duty pickup trucks there will always be v8 engines.
@behexen250 Honestly if I were to buy an f150 I'd take the 5.0 over an EcoBoost any day.
When i came back from Vietnam I bought a 67 427 4 speed chevelle. Ordered a 2 door sedan. Was the fastest car in my town for awile. Love rollin through the gears..think ill get a hellcat for my next birthday 76..
No such thing from the factory. 396 was the largest until 70 454. Otherwise it isn't stock
John Kizziah I knew a guy who did that and got a bigass 442 Olds. He said he averaged 8 MPG but he had a good time and he’d sure earned it.
chevelles are coupes not sedans.
Stick with Chevrolet buddy! Get you a Corvette ZR1 that is the best pushrod V8 for longevity and performance mods. Can handle more power on stock internals then the Ford GT500 or Dodge Hellcat /demon. Do some research Chevy is the way to go. Plus the Corvette is a lighter car and has more power than the Hellcat. And will last longer.
@@MDZ1990 New Z and ZR are known NOT to be pushrods. Keep up
Just wanna say this before I get deeper into the video, I will keep my N/A V8 over a Turbo V6 or turbo i4 that makes close too or more HP BUT will wear out faster due to the forced induction in a smaller engine.
Anyone who buys a V8 and worries about fuel consumption shouldn't be driving.
Exactly! I daily a 17 yr old silverado with a 325ci LM7. I don't worry about mileage
I go by smiles per gallon, personally.
Do you live in America? Sometimes the ONLY cars available in a certain area are V8's, and its impossible to travel to find more as you DONT HAVE A VEHICLE. Some people are stuck without choice.
@@lookbehindyousuka I live in Alberta, Canada. Where do you live that only sell V8's? 4 cylinder turbos are nearly in every new car these days. Surely V6's are available?
That cylinder deactivation bs
scottys neighbors are just like “yep... he’s talking to himself in his garage again”
Haha I've thought of this b4 too. He must look ridiculous waving those hands around
From the backside he looks like Big Bird waving and swaying.
I bet their cars run good !
😂😂😂😂😂
I swear I said that to my self about 3 weeks ago when I was seeing a video of his 😂
I have a LS in my 2019 Vette, a Hemi in a Challenger and Coyote in a Mustang and never had a single issue with any of them. They all make great engines. The problem is not the engine, but the rest of the car.
i have a 460 with 300,000 miles F250
@@beedee9534 Amen to the rest of the car falling apart.
@@robertdavis6708 America made the most beautiful cars ever early 70s now they all look European POS some are tiny cracker boxes
2019 vette are LT1 5 Gen
I personally love GM LS engines. They are simple, easy to fix, and very long lasting. My dad has a Suburban with 340k original miles. I have a silverado with 260k original miles.
Rebuilt my 6.0 L96 last year. VVT only, non-DoD. Full rebuild on the rotating assy and top end. Never have to worry about it again.
You want to piss off a ford and dodge fans , ask them what is the most popular V8 engine in history . They hate it when I say "the Chevy 350" , that shuts them up every time.......well the ones that know what they talking about do 😊
@@cowboypatriot1200 maybe most popular but the 302 ford was the most reliable engine ever made
@@mattselby9889 . Yes the ford Crown Victoria. And the Town car. But they messed it up now. I'm back to chevy
Don't forget fuel efficient, for the NA power. Can come in handy depending on the application
You should have done this video on a Monday and gave away a hellcat engine haha!
You heard about dodges new 1000hp Hellephant engine?
@@chencho9226 yeah. I dont get whats so special about it. I mean its cool but is it a turn key?
Make a really nice comment...like the best comment EVER and my computer will choose the best comment to win a Hot Wheels Hellcat car.
@@chencho9226 What, quarter mile per gallon?
@@chencho9226
Only for track only cars or cars before 1976 according to dodge
I am so happy that Dodge, Ford, and Chevy are all offering glorious, high-powered V-8 automobiles. God Bless America!
ew1usnr yep and is always dodge is always leading in the horse power arena as the “hill crate“ engine is 1000 HP you won’t see anything like that come from Ford with their little 5 L and GM doesn’t have the technology. And if they did the car would be cost too much.
Yea but everything wraped around that Dodge engine is mostly cheap crap.
@Shawn Kemp Lol..yea I would love to see those motors stuffed into who knows what! My earlier comment was about the declining quality of Chrysler products in general since Fiat bought them. That motor is awesome and I would love to stick one in my 1985 Dodge D150 truck! It just rolled 26k original miles and is like a time machine, all original.
@Shawn Kemp Yep I do! My dad worked for Pontiac Motors in Pontiac, Mi for over 31 years and we loved our 1974 3/4 ton Dodge truck more than any of the trucks we had. We used that truck to pull our tractor and equipment all over during the spring and summer as we plowed gardens and anything else we could do on the weekends and it never would quit. My dad is gone now for quite some time but he would have really liked the Dodge I have now. Man I sure miss my dad just as much today as ever. Take care!
Not ford
Yeah, 300HP can get you from here to there. But 800HP gets you from here to there with a big smile on your face. :D
Oh Yeah
Yeah. It'll pass everything on the street but a gas station!
Hell yeah 👍
300 hp is fun my mom's toyota sienna has that but my 750 hp 2004 twin turbo acura legend just puts a smile on your face every time the turbos spool up every time you are going 70 and you want to pass some one smoking your wheels when you do it or starting it up the smell of fule and the sound of the exhaust when it is open my nabors hate me in the morning I almost forgot the best part the turbo fluter when you release the gass that sound any car guy can hear that and just fall in love with it even though it's bad for the turbo
My son’s Tesla S gives me way more than a smile. But I always clean it up....
I had a 1985 Mustang with the 5.0 and a manual 5 speed. It would get 18 in town and 25-30 on the highway, usually 27-28. I am the kind of guy who calculated my MPG with EVERY tank on all of the 76 cars I have owned so far.
76!?
V8s are there only thing that American companies do right consistently, but I think we're all glad that they do.
Well what about ford Ecoboost
@@georgianultraimperialistor2934 They're not V8.
@@georgianultraimperialistor2934 you mean the non stop recallee v6/4 bangers. yeah there so good for the future. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄. give me an old school v8 anyday. at least they don't have any recalls.
Jays Gameplay/cat videos We had new VW’s 10 years ago with the TipTronic Transmissions . Total garbage
Don't know about that. I like the Toyota V8 in my Lexus.
The roar of a V8 is music to my ears
Compiler Revolt damn right
Compiler Revolt yep and especially the Mopar V8s are hands-down the hottest engines available
Same here mate I love the roar of the Coyote V8 in my 2011 Ford F150.
Amen.
@@CJColvin I really like the sound of the F-150 EcoBoost especially the twin turbo but when I seen how many F150 were recalled I went to GMC
One of the best V8 engines was the V8 4.6L in the Ford Crown Victoria.
I wouldn’t say it’s THE best, but I will say it’s most likely definitely Fords best.
It's easy to work on and they can go over 300,000 miles easy, even abused lol but they aren't hp producer's sadly. Everyone will be electric and the only gas engines will be 4.6's lol
@@p1020723 and hopefully there will be some old school 350 chevys out there. But let’s hope that never happens.
Thank you Scotty for your channel . Ive gotten a lot of valuable information from you .
In another dimension, Scotty LS swapped his Celica.
Some crazy gearhead actually installed a 318 into a celica.
😂😂😂 he probably did he just doesn’t want anyone to know
Good one🤣
In another dimension, V8s are standard in celicas
@@emomuzz5883 another got a hellcrate and stuffed it into a miata.
We never want to give up the rumble of the V8. God will not allow the V8 to disappear. Great video Scotty
id prefer a 240 hp cheap v8 to a high reving 4 that have 4 valves/cyl and dohc.
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 Me too
What I like the most about Scotty is that unique, brutally frank sense of humor that surely drives the point home in a most amusing manner, making practical, sensible engineering rise to the surface and hi-tech mythology sink to the bottom of the sea, lol. :)
I'm glad you have the time for all the good information to pass on to us. Thanks
My question is on the tipm for the 2012 Gran caravan. Do you recommend putting on a bypass relay instead of replacing the whole unit?
You are correct Scotty we do not need 800 hp, and we do not need to eat steak but we want them
you + are = you're.
Thanks for correcting him. I never would have figured out he meant you're
@@crathix38Yeah, why should anyone care about elevating the education level anyone?
Peter Karel Kraus because it really doesn’t matter in this space. I’m pretty sure he knows the grammatically correct way to type it but even if he didn’t, autocorrect is so smart these days that it’ll correct him anyway

🙋♂️right here brother
I’d like a couple more than 70, but that’s not gonna happen.
Who needs 1k horses?
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY
# MeToo
I'll would recommend the 5.0 coyote v8 engine on a ford F150
Does touch a 3.5 eb
Great video! I think the Hemi is 2 spark plugs per cylinder. It must have horrible gas mileage from 800-hp. I prefer the Chevy LS, but the Dodge Hemi is a thing of beauty.
Hemi’s valve placement is far superior to the LS’s in-line wedge arrangement.
The reason why V8's will never go away is because you can't
get 300000 miles out of a turbo charged V6 without it leaking oil everywhere
You can get more than 300k with a 4 cylinder engine as long as its not american made. And still wont leak oil like every american car does after 3 years.
Not the oil leaking that’s the problem it’s those pricey turbos going out
@@2Str0k3 I believe the point was that you need a V8 or turbo V6 for a truck. No one wants a 4 cyl truck.
2Str0k3 my vw 4 cyl turbo leaked oil at 60k miles
ASE certified here and you're all wrong about why a V6 twin turbo isn't good. Not due to leaking oil it's due to the fact that they are notorious for valve sticking issues due to carbon build up from the GDI into the combustion chamber and the timing chains have a lot of issues with the tensioners
"Ford is moving towards smaller turbocharged engines" Shortly after Ford announced a super duty 7.3 gas engine V8 😂 glad to see the V8 will be here for awhile
But it doesnt have as much horsepower then the turbocharged smaller engines they are using in their EcoBoost trucks.
@@PanchoVilla-kk2ki The F150 Raptor 3.5 EcoBoost makes 450hp-510trq, the new 7.3 is projected to have 480hp-550trq and since it's not under boost it should last far longer and have a much better torque curve of power compared to the EcoBoost. Simply put the larger V8 makes more power while working less.
The 7.3 has a great deal more to offer than peak horsepower 🙄🙄
Boostang it’s like they started paying attention to what Toyota has been doing with their trucks lol underpowered but reliable as hell
GODZILLA baby
I thought I ought to have one V8 before I died, so I got a Tundra. With 4WD it cost $26,000. No it doesn't make a lot of power, but it has the burble and is beyond reliable and 20 years old, it will still outlive me.
I have a 2019 Ram1500 Rebel with HEMI 5.7 V8 and I just installed a performance exhaust. This thing is rocking and the sound is mean. Versus the anemic 4cyl. This is a Canadian model build in MI. I love it. Naturally aspirated engine would last a long time if you service them properly and I do above the factory spec when it comes to fluid changes
350 - 400 horsepower is plenty for me, in a sleeper so it's not a cop magnet and I'm the only one who needs to know it's capabilities.
preach brotha
Which is why I want a Chevy SS. A true modern day 400hp sleeper. It may not out run a Hellcat, but it will leave it in ditch on cornering and overall driving.
@@royalway12 Loved my cousin's Camaro SS...but it's no sleeper. Sure, it's not as blatantly sports car and not as loud as my GT350, but it's certainly no Impala with an LS under the hood!
@@royalway12 i dont know about that the only reason the hellcat wouldnt beat you around the corners would be cause the driver cant deal with the power. Both cars are big and heavy similar size so probably handle similar. If you got a dodge charger 392 it would be just like an ss
So many cars make that stock.. I want to be able to smoke something 10x the price of my car
“People wanted power”; shows picture of Stalin... outstanding.
Great content! That's what 50 years of experience brings! I love my '99 Mustang GT 4.6 V8. That unique sound will be more rare as the years go by!
I went from a V8 to a V6, now I'm back to a V8. I like the feel and sound of a V8.
"We don't need 800 horsepower engines" your right we need 900
try 5000
Hell STONE1325 1000 would be better
@@thomasbradley7844 now you're speaking my language
Horsepower required to make the average car go sixty miles per hour = ~20. So tell us again why you need 900?

The v8 wont ever die it's an American icon it may not be as prevalent as it once was but it will never go away
I hope your right.
@@andybub45 it will eventually die, just like IBM. It will get replaced with batteries. As new technology emerges, old technology dies off. And that ain't just the v8.

@@TheTiredPirate It was, now I'm off to watch 2001 after dinner.
till oil runs out
My dad had a Impala back in the 70s loved that V8 I was a kid but I loved it it was big and tough and pure heavy metal.
I was watching this Aussey downunder channel, and they are getting over 600 hp out of old 289s. That is insane.

@@happysamoan97
Americans can use and will always use full size vehicles (Suburban, Tahoe, expedition, sequoia, Traverse, Explorer and Durango)! In majority of other countries you are lucky to see a midsize vehicle and they drive small size vehicles (fiesta, versa, fit and similar size vehicles).
my friend, nothing beat flooring a V8 while on a highway to hear that sound then taking off !
Absolutely.
Thx Scotty. Real evaluation and fun too
Love my 302 in my 94 f150, sounds great when I get on er.
Yep it's got rythmm and bass
I like the old lazy V8s. They ran forever and had tons of low end torque.
Like that 1975 Cattie.
And Style! Don't forget the Style.
I can almost pop a wheele so much torque. Top speed of like 75 tho lol
sure.
I'm still driving my old '95 TBI 350V8. She doesn't s moke on start up or running. It just kept going and going. Of course I take good care of it.
A V8 with around 400hp is the perfect power for everyday driving, it's pretty relaxing compared to smaller engines.
My daily commute is mostly rural roads with hills and partly a lot of slow traffic like delivery trucks e.g. and by driving a 1.2 80hp car and later a 1.8 125hp van (those power figures are pretty common here in germany), I didn't need to even think to overtake someone, very frustrating...
Now I have a 2013 Mustang GT and it's pretty chill cruising around listening to that beautiful sound, knowing that the power is there if I need it.
Plus, that US V8 rumble is not that common in germany, it's very refreshing, especially the old V8's. Hope they'll never become extinct.
I miss my 06 gto.. 6 speed with 400+ in the mountains is much fun
love your videos, but this one was exceptionally entertaining.
Your V6 video must have been made later, because I agree with what you said in that video about smaller engines having to work harder (higher rpm etc.) to turn out the same horsepower. When you have to do a lot of hauling of heavy equipment/materials you don't want an engine that is going to wear out for the same horse power. I hope the V8 is around for very long time!
i honestly don't see the demand going away any time this century
There’s a reason everyone and their sister is doing a LS V-8 engine swap into their car, truck and classic car project. The GM LS engines are affordable, low maintenance, parts readily available and most of all RELIABLE All Day Long..... So the best? Yes, GM’s LS V8 Design.
Yes I agree totally with you. He seems to hate GM product for some reason. Remember he’s a mechanic you can’t make money off of things that don’t break
A challenger is only good in a straight line for power they have no cornering like a Camaro or Mustang , GM came out with the magnetic steering and then what do you know Ford has it too now .
*AGREE!!!!*
I thought it said best v8 haha
Talks down gm v8 because its a pushrod. Then talks the mopar up for being a pushrod 😂 i used to get 31mpg hwy out of a ls1 seem damn good for a v8
Junkyards are full of those great engines

You're a lot of fun to watch. Keep goinng!
All pushrods v8’s are perfected pretty much by all American manufacturers
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔.
that might explain why car makers are putting cheap 4 bangers and v6's in them because almost every year i hear of a recall on almost every ecoboost tdi etc. etc. that might explain why you never see the 5.0 mustangs in the dealership shop.
Yes, from the yotes to hemis to ls engines
Except that some are OHC
The Ford V8s are OHC
nathan hoover ohc really isn’t much more complicated than pushrod engines

BS as an owner of car with: L4 engine, V6 engine, V8 tt i can say that V6 3.2 litre from Alfa screams like crazy. V8 it's like bear just grovls.
Gm LS/Vortec V8s . I work at a diesel shop but we also maintain a few fleets of delivery vehicles and most of them are GM gas V eights and those things blow my mind. We had a truck come in there the other day that needed a transmission and it was a 2013 or so 3500 Chevy with a 6.0 L V8 it had 689,000 on the original engine and the engine had never had any internal work done. We did have to put a transmission in it which wasn’t a big deal but the thing still runs like a scalded dog it just blows my mind how good it runs after that many miles pulling that big box truck. We have another 2500 sitting in the parking lot that has a 4.8 L Vortech V8 and it also has a little over 600 thousand on it. These trucks run two shifts a day day and night and sometimes they can go a week without the engine even cooling off during peak delivery times. they take a freaking beating. They are out lasting the diesel trucks working along side them. That’s why these team truck owners Are buying these versus the newer diesel’s being a diesel mechanic I don’t blame them at all . They’re way cheaper to maintain not enough difference in the fuel mileage to matter. I can’t think of any gas engine currently on the market that would replace these and give us good service for the same cost . The best thing about them is they’re not overhead cam and they don’t have all this modern complicated timing junk and they still get better than average fuel mileage for engines their size. The new little diesel Ford transits get pretty good fuel mileage but they’re junk and the Dodge / fiat pro masters are junk also we have a few of those that roll through.
2500 the only way to go in a truck Heavy duty workhorses, 1500s are junk
I just bought a 2020 V8 F-150 brand new I've had it for 2 weeks and I've already put 1500 miles on it I love this thing. My question is what is the loudest most crazy exhaust I can put on it so. I live in Texas so there's no restrictions
I never reset the MPG monitor on my 2015 Mustang GT Premium which comes with the 5.0 V-8 and an optional auto trans. At 29,000 miles I'm averaging 23.4 on 75% city driving with 93 octane gas. I'm quite satisfied.
Cool Breeze thats better than i get in my 1999 i4 camry, although i do drive all city
I saw a head to head LS vs. Ford. The pushrod LS held up better. LSX is crazy
Wow Chrysler? I am super surprised, but damn does that Hellcat and Demon engine sound soooo good.
not really
@@-jimmy6969 Maybe not to you. But I wasn’t asking deaf people what they thought.
Scotty I will always need and want a v8 especially in my truck for hauling
That would be a V8 Diesel then. I had a V8, 457 in a Silverado crew cab dually that almost couldn't make it up hill pulling my 10000 lb (loaded with four horses) trailer. Replaced that truck with a Silverado 6.6L turbo diesel 4x, crew cab dually and I passed traffic going up the same hill. Amazing Duramax (Isusu) engine coupled to an Allison trans.
Chevy no question about that. The Chevy 350 and the LS series of engines are the most sought after engines in the world. More compact, reliability, lots of aftermarket support, power to spare, and you can find them at decent prices.
The best junkyard engines. Period
Mopar for me
Most sought after?? Not even close. 350s and ls's are spread across the us like aids in Africa. The most sought after V8s woukd probably be a Chevy 427 aluminum block found in the 69 camaro zl1, ford 427 side oiled, or ford 5.2 voodoo. If a muscle guy says he doesnt want one of these engines, they're lying.
Chevy also makes the best MPG v8 engines as it isn't uncommon to see a LS engine do 30mpg on the highway. The LS9 sucks down gas but I doubt that's worse than the other supercharged V8's. The new Corvette that Scotty is talking about will be a DOHC 32v engine with some of them having a hybrid feature with AWD. Sounds impressive but for $120k I think GM lost its mind.
I tip my hat to Chevy and Mopar engines with much respect, but give me my Ford 351 any day, I know I know...I’ve heard all the comments on what Ford stands for, but I love my 351 with C6 in my Bronco...always fires up and can climb up a wall.
“who needs 800 horsepower”
it’s me i’m “who”
Me too
Everybody in whoville
Yeh, but can any one of you afford to put 800 HP. on the street and keep it there? Let's be at least somewhat grounded in reality.
saw someone towing a big trailer with a hellcat
Its not a need thing, its a want thing and if you dont understand that,well I feel sorry for you because you are missing out on a whole bunch of fun
GM makes the best V8’s when they put their mind to it
Hey Scotty, I have a 2015 tacoma and it comes with the gas filter or sock in the tank. Should i put a an extra gas filter outside of the tank for extra protection? If I do will that mess with the fuel presser? If not can you recommend a filter kit. I love your channel! Because of your videos. I have been able to fix and do all maintenance on my Truck. Saved me a good chunk of change! Thank you!
LS engines so many options cheap and durable. Light small and powerful
The ls is a copy of the ford small block...

We don’t “need” 800 hp? What are you a socialist?!?
Lol

@@johngotti5774 To each their own, I get it you aren't a performance car enthusiasts and that's perfectly a okay. Let the ones that do enjoy their life. You'd be surprised how easily you get used to 500hp then 600hp and so on, it's a progressive thing. The age of petroleum performance car sounds and all other sensory fellings are coming to an end. I long for the times of naturally aspirated carburetor sensor less cars when you pull up the hood and see a motor. There were only three things to go wrong fuel, spark and air. You could feel the car it was a driver's car. But high hp cars are not for young drivers, very easy for them to lose control they need a VW bug from the 80s.
Well most don't, I just to love 8 cilinder engines, now I don't see the point
I get my jollies taking out 8 cylinders with a 4 cylinder n/a car. Mk5!! Hahaha
Very savy. Definitely knows his engines. I learn something everytime I listen.
Well, considering my 2016 Mustang GT gets roughly 18 miles per gallon, the same as my 2001 Ford Escape 3.0 V6, but produces over twice as much power, I think I'm doing pretty good.
I can squeeze more out of the Mustang if I want to... but I didn't buy it for gas mileage. I bought it for fun.
I got a Sierra with a 350 vortec , a Coyote 5.0 in my Mustang and had Silverado with the 6.0 LS and all of them are simply amazing! Strong, Reliable and easy to find parts for them I love it!
I enjoy your education / discussions as much as your mechanics presentations. You make it fun / interesting. All I will add is TORQUE, with a real car (not a toy) torque is what launches the steel.
I'm on my second Tau V8 powered car... 420 NA HP... not a performance motor, it's more geared towards luxury. No problems with my first one but the opportunity came up to buy a 2020 G90 for cheap so I went for it. It's the last NA V8 luxury car you can buy. The replacement model is a V6 TT
The best V8 engine in my view is one that gives you many many many miles without having too to many repairs. Nothing worse than a motor that has way too many components break down before the engine is put to pasture. But to extend the life of any motor you must use good synthetic oil and change the oil frequently because any oil whether it's conventional oil made of crude oil or synthetic oil, they both get just as dirty, so also pick your oil filter wisely and don't buy a cheap one. I have a Ford V6 5.4 L 3 valve engine, and although those motors have issues with roller followers, and VCTs that stick and make a ticking noise, I haven't changed any of those components yet, and I haven't ever changed the timing chain either. That being said, I only changed the starter at 290,000 miles, and everything else, I mean EVERYTHING is original. Truck has now 324,000 miles on it.
Buy LEXUS ... after all was made for you americans .... L imited EXport (to ) US ... then became its own brand .. L EX US ... the 4 .. 4.3 and 4.6 and 5Litre engines all do 500k ... i have the gs 460 ...had 430s and quad cam 4litres .. all 500km engines ...
I believe you i work at a mechanic shop and we got this 350000 expidition same engine
You meant V8, right? Oh, and put in a pint of Marvel Mystery Oil at each oil change. For yours it might be too late though.
@@jima3129 Sorry Jim, yes, I meant V8, that Ford F150. Six months ago, I had a radiator leak, so I had a mechanic replace the radiator at about 348,000 miles.
@@Brandon-yj4pw Hello Brandon. Concerning my 2005 Ford F150 V8 engine, I work as a landscaper, and my truck is always hauling soil or mulch. Knowing I "abuse" the truck somewhat, I always give it clean oil, and a WIX filter, or Motorcraft filter. I am now at 353,000 miles. Runs great!
Glad to hear he finally has something nice to say about a Chrysler product.
Can't deny the Hellcat engine. everything else coming out of Chrysler is crap except that hellcat engine and the Jeep line. Fiat was the worst thing to ever happen to that brand. Don't get me wrong the Ram trucks are really nice on the inside and seam to run well but lets give it a couple years and see how the real world feels about it.

Hi Scotty, like your videos. You are a character that knows a lot about cars & trucks.
My family has been in the automotive repair business since 1961. My father opened an automotive electrical repair shop in 1961 and then two Midas Muffler shops. I opened an automotive air conditioning & radiator shop in 1973 and it is still open today by a former employee. A shop area should be keep clear but as time goes on people sometimes get over loaded with stuff and don't know or can't get rid of the excess stuff.
What do you really need in an automotive repair shop?
I think a lift is number one. My shop had a 4 post lift with adjustable ramps. These are also what my father used at his Midas Muffler shops. I think the area around the vehicle needs to be clear so you can open the doors and work inside the vehicle. We did heat & A/C repair and often needed to work under the dash. In fact we very often had to removed the dash or set it back on the seat to get to components under it.
I added a second floor to part of my building, a 30 foot by 56 foot room. That is where I moved inventory and stuff I just could not get rid of. The only rule I set, was nothing could be flammable that went up there.
Hi Scotty...have been watching you for years as I am the same age as you and your opinions have always matched mine, so not being a professional mechanic myself, but doing all my own auto maintenance and repairs for the past 50 years, I think we think alike! Anyway, I am in Thailand right now and I am wondering if the Thai Toyota 2022 pick up with a 4 banger diesel (with turbo) would be legal in USA as the brand new dealer price is about $24 K US dollars....thats brand new, 4 doo,r with 6 speed stick and AC and all power inside. My stepson here just purchased one and I love it.
The one thing 4-6 cylinder engines will never have is the beautiful low rumble and sound that a V8, any V8 makes. That sound is just perfect for a car enthusiast like myself. Dont get me wrong V6 engines can sound great but the V8 sound to me is unbeatable. Also too, only 4 cylinder that sounds really good are Subaru's boxer engines. They have a great sound hands down for them being 4 bangers.
Brian Flores your words are so true, I’ve always wanted the car manufacturers to build a very small v8 for that very reason rather than a 4 or 6 cylinder
@@micksmydad You are mostly correct with some exceptions. There are some v6s that are v8 derivatives such as the 3.8l Essex v6 found in 1990s-2004 Mustangs which idle sounding like a v8.
get a different muffler.
Nissan HRDE or VQ engines can sound nice :)
if you want a reliable truck you don't have to frequently repair buy anything but a Chevy.
Got my Mustang GT and can never look back. Screw the gas mileage when you can have fun driving on the open road.
They get amazing mileage if you need to for what it is
Don’t crash, you’ll be a part of the stang owner stigma
Real question is do you have an Audi that gets 8mpg 🤨
Like the person above said... it isn't 'miles per gallon' it's 'smiles per gallon'
I drive them from turo the 2016-19 is amazing. There not the fastest but it’s really fun.
Love the videos, how bout best engine without major bolt on’s?
I never thought I'd hear Scotty compliment anything Chrysler
392 hemi best performing. 6.2 LS/LT best modding platform & reliably. Coyote 5.0 breakthrough for ford for its only fast naturally aspirated engine since the old school 5.0. They all are great in they own way
Welp you said the ls has 2 points over just one🤷🏻♂️
The 6.4l is the best N/A Hemi but stock cant handle boost like a stock 6.1
best reply in this whole video lol. finally someone isnt fanboying
YNIC Rambo Ls isn’t a better modding platform than the coyote. Coyote has been in the 5s and not a single Ls has been 5s. And coyotes respond a lot better to boost. Idk where you got that info
ever since i was around 12, i always wanted a v8 vehicle so i fell in love with the ford 4.6L
Ew
4.6L is a dam good engine
@@BmwMe-uh9sy those engines survives through police abuse and thousands of idle hours and still continue to run after they're retired and auctioned off to people like me , so yea it is a dam good engine
Mal0 Audi is actually worse
The first few years of the 4.6L SOHC V-8 were somewhat underpowered, i.e. 1996-1998, as FMC didn't design the valve train to be free-breathing enough to make really big power. The Cobras were OK, but those had an aluminum block and heads DOHC hand-built 4.6L distinct from the SOHC version, which was an iron block. The Cobras made 305 hp, 300 foot-pounds of torque. The SN95 Mustangs, however, are celebrated as some of the best-sounding V-8s ever built. A well-set up 1998 Cobra can sound awesome, as can the 2003-2004 Cobras. The Terminators made what was, for the time, awesome power and torque from a small-block, 390 HP and 390 pound-feet of torque. Conservatively rated; the true value was something closer to 430 for both figures.
I love my 5.0 Liter V8 Coyote engine 🥰 idc about poor mpg, because I get plenty smiles per gallon
Buzz Lightyear I bet, v8’s sound amazing! My Coyote howls 🥵 she’s a loud one 😈
I love watching your videos!
But what about trucks Scotty? We can’t have f150s with 4 pistons hitting 8000 rpm just to get enough torque to back out of the driveway. Doesn’t it save gas to have v8s in a heavier vehicle? Like a 4000bl challenger?
Sir thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! I have found it extremely helpful and much of my car research. Thank you again for doing what you do!
Hey Scotty, everything alright? You seem tired...hope you are alright. Take care.
Christmas fever.
I think he needs a good strong cup of coffee. LOL
if it wasn't Scotty id say downers. maybe xanax
Yeah ... that’s it .... tired....maybe octane booster?
Dunno. He's still waving his arms around. Can't be too under the weather.
thank you scotty i love all your videos
Great Video.
Love my 5.7
Scott. Dodge has already put out the demon. Which has 840 hp.
It would Kill him to say gm. LS variants hands down one of the best
What do you think of the old 327's and what happened to them? They sounded great and could be built up pretty good.
I liked 327's. I have a one from a 67 Impala. Last ones built were in 1968 I believe. In 69, they went to the 350, which is a great engine too.
Hell hath frozen over, Scotty picked a Mopar ☺️🤘
That's what I thought!
Yeah, cus he's not stupid
@@2averagenoobs108 Exactly!
Finally he said somthing intelligent.
😂😂😂
While I appreciate the video, I was expecting more talk about the "workhorse" V8s: Ford's 5.0 , Dodge's 5.7, and GM's 5.3. Of those ones, who would you say makes the best V8?
5.7 probs. Especially now.
5.7's
The Ford 5.0
5.7 hemi heavily used as well as 6.4 hemi
Yes, truck V8s are the most mass produced versions and the daily workhorses. I doubt the V8 is going anywhere soon because of that market.
I love the video man keep up the good work
great show scotty it surprises my scotty how fast cars are progressing do cars have a set of standards scotty for a affordability factor
My first car was a 1969 Chevy Chevelle with a V-8 350 loved it!
66 GTO tri-power was my first. 2Nd was a MGA with a 375 hp 327. Bowties!
Yeah my dads truck is a Chevy Silverado 5.7 l v8 and I love it a lot
My high school car was a 68 chevelle with the 350 v8 and 2 speed power glide transmission. I miss that car more then my xwife
Great vid Scotty! The Hellcat engine sometimes has a supercharger bearing that goes out, and especially if you use street slick tires the driveshaft can get twisted.
EBSting but thats IHI fault for their first design on their units , but the engine itself has proven 0 issues in it ,
@@Viagesyea I just wanted to point out the few issues it could have. I'm still looking to get a Hellcat though don't get me wrong lol.
I completely agree with you man. You're awesome! And I thank you for all the knowledge you've taught me from your videos. I only listen to the truth and you speak the truth. I'd like to see a video about Skyline vs Supra. The story of how it all began and how they have been competing with eachother for forever. I'm not much on those cars but I like the story about them. And I'd go with the Toyota Supra if I had to choose between them.
