Hey Scotty I always message you about my rev limiter no longer working on my 99 Durango 5.2 l but yet it still runs good and everything you never answer back for whatever reason maybe you don't see my message but I figured it out I think it's my throttle positioning sensor
Scotty, I’m moving to TN.... will you be my Mechanic.... I wont be seeing you often because I own a 2014 F150 V8 4x4. Perfect condition under 80K miles. HA!
Scotty please don't do it your arm completes a set. Don't give up your arm. 😉
Scotty, have you tried your tech-tip for improving power windows? The silicone or lithium spray? Just curious 🤔
these trucks are every were here in north mississippi.
Scotty talks to us like we're 100 yards away in a wind storm. Love ya man!!
Was always thinking what his neighbours say.....😅
Can't say i can't hear him, though
That's hilarious!!
I don't always listen to Scotty, but when I do, so do my neighbors.
The Billy May's auto mechanics
he is right, because i am actually at about 1500miles from Scotty lol
I thought you were going to say the best truck ever would be a 94 celica
😂😂😂😂😂
🤪
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahaha
Just put some 44 inch mud boggers on it, definitely would be
3:46 “They built these things back in the day” yes Scotty
Indeed Scotty they did 😂
Got to love those old trucks. Tough as nails and still being used as work trucks decades later. My buddy has an 86 with a manual transmission and an inline 6. My son has a 96 f150 with the inline and dual tanks. They are both beasts
They are becoming popular for upscale lowered daily driver/cruise-in/Cars and Coffee/weekend fun trucks too becaus ethye are the last of "Affordable" Classic trucks.
Craigslist just broke by everyone searching for a '81 Ford F100
Craigslist just broke for everyone searching for a 94' Celica.
Or an older Explorer with the V8 engine.
Most of those 81 F series trucks up north rusted away decades ago.
😂
LOL
I had that truck,, she rusted away in Ohio. I drove her to the junk yard,still running ,no body left and frame rusted bad. She was a great truck
Very emotional...
Like taking an old loved dog to the vet to be put down...sad.
This made me feel sad
Yup, I had a 73 Gran Torino in Pennsylvania, same thing, drove it until late 80s, total rust bucket but 351 Cleveland engine ran perfect when I finally gave it up
Hope that drivetrain got a second life.
Totally agree!!!
That's why Chevy, Ford, and Dodge (slant 6) stopped making their in-line 6 engines they lasted too long. No money to make on them.
GM found a way to mess up the I6 in the trailblazers. They were junk
Some of the ford 3.0 v6 pre 1991 in ranger/aerostar burned oil and blew the aluminum head gaskets
My got my envoy over 10 years ago I put a water pump & camshaft sensor.
@@BIKEMAN21 This video and comment is of a straight 6..Not v6
Ford also stopped making them because they couldn't meet newer emission standards, they were too heavy and they were too long for the newer truck designs.
The picture at 1:05 had me on the floor roaring.
Dump truck hahaha
damn near died
Nearly died there! Damn Scotty
Same. 💀🔥
5:34, too.
I wish I could find that type of older solid truck, let alone for $2
I've got a 88 ford....
It's been sent me for about 7 years ,
two people that have checked it out have verified that it will run It's not seized or anything
Praying to have a little chunk of change to go about getting it up and running one of these days
Where was this 8 months ago while I was shopping for a truck?
Picked up an 86 c3500 GMC dump with a 6.2 for a buck 3-4 yrs ago and it's my daily driver work truck. She's ruff here an there but the great thing is it almost doesn't matter what breaks on it it'll still drive :)
You may not find them for 2 dollars but you can get these trucks anywhere for under 2000 bucks I see them for sale on craigslist for between 500 to 1000 all the time there not hard to get ahold of here in North Carolina. The ones around 2000 have little to no damage and very low mileage. The cheaper ones have higher miles and some body damage but not going to stop the truck from running and doing its job. I've pulled these engines apart with over 300k and the internals look almost brand new just keep the oil changed and change antifreeze every 3 years and you will get over 300k. on my 4.9l 300 inline big 6 that's the heart of my 1995 efi 5 speed trans f150. I've got over 300k on mine and it still runs like brand new. Best truck I've ever owned hands down. I plan to keep this truck for life even if I have to ever rebuild it I have 0 dents and the only rust is very light surface rust in the bed but nothing that can't be sanded and I will be putting a spray rhino bed liner.
I've had many of the 80 to 86 Ford's. One of my favorite body styles and absolutely very easy to work on!
I love my 85 f150. Straight six with 4 speed manual trans. Fun truck with a lot of reliabillity in its pedigree.
Got an 86 F150 with a straight six, though its auto (wish it was manual). In a day and age where u need thousands of dollars worth of diagnostic equipment and coding software to complete basic tasks, its nice to have something that you can fix (if need be) with a basic small tool set. Great trucks no doubt, and i have no partiality towards Fords at all.
I got a 85 XL 4X4, manual transmision, stright six, long bed and dual fuel tank in Mexico City. I bought it about 300 bucks. We had to rebuild the engine because it had an stuck head valvule but everything else is in good condition. How rare is this truck? I mean in termns of equipment. Plus the truck got the "EXPLORER" badge on both sides of the bed.
@@esfwr17C6?
Love the ford 300 I6 and the ford trucks they came in. Currently the proud owner of a '93 4x4 with the I6.
Amen! Had the F-100 82 & still have my F-150 93 4x4 300k + Miles. Burns a qt every 5,000 Miles time for change anyway.
I got a 91 F150 I-6
I had the 93 4x4 too for 20 years before I sold it and I wish I never had sold it.
Wow, I drove that same kind of truck , it’s my dad’s, yes still running in 2021. 👍😃🇨🇦
Can't kill 'em!
Scotty, a friend of mine in high school (graduated in 04) had a powder blue f100 explorer around the same year he and his dad fully restored. One of the best looking trucks at golf and shooting practice.
One of the best engines ever made, fricking bulletproof.
Those straight 6s are bulletproof. Globs of torque.
I've seen them go 400K miles without major work. The trucks they were in were basically rotted away to almost nothing, but that engine would still start and run.
You know why Ford doesn't make them anymore? Because if they did, you'd never buy one of their NEW g**damn trucks.
@@xaenon Yep.
Why is this guy yelling.
The ford 300CI straight six is the best work engine made in the 20th century.
Absolutely tough proven! My last 300 I bought new was in 1993. 300k miles now burns 1 qt oil every 5,000 miles. Go figure, that’s why ford quit making them. Just way to good for today’s society.
I would say the Mercedes-Benz OM617 is the best engine ever build
Just from the fact that these engines are willknown for going over 2 million miles without breaking a sweat
Back when they actually build reliable diesels
300 straight 6. No redline. Can't hurt them.
Amen. 💀🔥
Absolutely... Mine 96000 miles still strong traded for an '04 with a V8 still driving it 166000 miles
I wish I could find an old straight six like that with a standard transmission.
Those sunglasses actually suit you quite well, Scotty! Great video! I appreciate you sir!
My grandpa had this truck.. He would drive the hell out of it, scared me to death
Moving to Tenn is the best thing that could have happened to this channel.
Thank you so much for giving this truck the credit and admiration it truly deserves. My pops bought me a 1983 Ford F100 as my first car/truck and I can say with 100% certainty I'm never letting it go. The 4.9L I6 is truly an unbreakable engine. It ran for over 10k miles with a vacuum leak and it kept chugging along like a tank. Its a thing of the past but yet way more durable than anything built today. SO happy I saw this video today.
Scotty I have wanted to hear about this for so long I am so glad you finally talked about the Ford 300 inline 6 or 4.9L.
Scotty, your cheapness helps give a fresh perspective.
Now that would be the perfect old pickup with the old bolt action 3 on the tree.
I'd love to have a pickup with the 3 on the tree. They are very fun to drive, but extremely hard to find.
@@jmccormick1490 The old 3-on-the-tree *IS* hard to find - even harder to find one that the original shifter isn't completely worn out. Most of the ones with a 3-speed were converted to floor shift for that reason. Pretty sure '82 was the last year for a 3-on-the-tree at Ford, and Ford was the last US automaker to offer one.
The one I'd like to have is a 300 six mated to the old SROD. It's a four speed floor shift manual, but third is 1:1 and fourth is actually overdrive.
1:05 - scotty, you’re a legend.
I am in awe at how clean the engine bay is considering how old and it's been sittin' in a field.
Ford straight 6 motors last foreveeeeeeeer had one with over 300 k
Yeah,... that's why Ford stopped using them, they last too damn long,... can't have that.
I have a 95 with 360k
Nice!! I have a Tundra Crewmax 👍 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 💪
That, and the Slant 6 from Dodge along with the 292s from Chevy.
My 88 F-150 with a 300 six and 4-speed manual is coming up on 500,000. Still smooth and gets good mileage, but it is showing its age when you start it cold, the bottom end rattles for a second, it's due for a rebuild, even though, it doesn't use any oil or coolant
Where all these low priced cars at???? People near me trying to sell Hyundais Chevy etc for 7k with high Mileage lol
Seriously lol same problem where I'm at
Same here in ct. Tax to hell state
Mississippi is a mess we have very poor running cars around the city going 4k above market value
Key word “trying”. If they get a sucker to buy those for thousands over what it’s worth, more power to them
There aren’t any. What he was describing was a “family deal”. Paying something to please the state.
Thanks Scotty, I am not a Toyota man so it’s great to know and hear from you about other good vehicles!
You always have the best solutions!
we’ve got an airplane tug at work with this exact engine w/o A/C, still running strong after 40 years.
love how scotty at 5:55 says 2 dollars but holds up 4 fingers. hahaha what a guy :D
Oh my, wings on the side windows. I miss that.
ALL The best trucks ever made had vent windows👍🏻
I missed that on my grandfather 1985 Sierra. At least I can use it on a 2006 International 4300.
Used to wrench those when I was a kid at Sears, never realized then how good those babies were. I changed a lot of those regulators on the firewall.
Keep the tradition alive! They were simpler back then and remember, it also got us everywhere!
Love my ole 300 400k+ and still keeps going
So you’re saying that specific truck really was Built Ford Tough?
The only weak spot on them was the distributor. But that wouldn't give you trouble until well over 100k miles.
I had one, and those 300 engines are bullet proof
Proud owner of one myself
@@ramosjaime11 The EGR tube that comes from the exhaust manifold has a tendency to corrode too. That will make the truck sound like it has straight pipes but the sound will be coming from the engine.
My 78 ford van with 3 speed manual and 300 straight 6 was great . Rotted away
That trucks engine sounds as good as the gas gmc in the big UHaul trucks.
These 80-96 OBS Fords will run forever. Great rigs.
This is an example of the greatness of Scotty! I loved this video. Not enough thumbs to put up.
That is Beautiful.
I’d like a square with either a 350 or 292 I6
My buddy has a 97 tahoe still alive. Gm was good back then too.
@@cayman9873 Yeah, from my experience GM vehicles have been great. Even the newer ones aren’t terrible, especially considering no new vehicles seem to be as good as the old ones.
“Dump truck” lmfao Scotty
I had an 85 f350 dump truck with the 4.9l 300ci inline 6.
Ya even ups trucks this engine is no joke it's a real bullet proof strong as hell engine. They even use them at air ports to run all the ground support equipment. These engine is the real deal that helped and is still helping to build America. I personally own one of these gems and it has over 300k on it and still runs like new. And will pull way more than recommend and not complain one bit.
@@acuraintegra101 that's actually really cool, thanks for sharing that with us!
They offered that 300 i6 in the f700 dump trucks too with Clark 4 speeds and 2 speed rear ends
@@Project-gr6zy like I've been told since I was a teenager this engine is pretty much a gas powered diesel engine. The two best engine hands down are the gasoline, LPG, natural gas, and CNG 4.9l inline 6 300 ci and the 7.3L v8 444ci Power Stroke diesel both engine are power houses that are unrivaled in the truck world. For there reliability and power but for me hands down the 300 is my choice for a engine in my truck because of its way cheaper than a diesel to repair and maintain.
I want Scotty’s videos to be mandatory curriculum in my kids and their kids high school.
I never would of thought of the stuff that goes through Scotty's head. I love the pictures in the corner to let people know what's goin thru your head
Love this guy! Everybody needs an Uncle Scotty!! ✌❤🙏💯🇺🇸
Seeing this truck makes me wanna buy my uncle's 83 Ford Bronco from my cousin with the 300 inline 6 4x4. 😆
Love those big straight sixes! GM 292, Ford 300, et al. Love them!
We had one of these in Orange. My husband drove it everywhere. Sad thing is he gave it to out 16 yr old and bought a new Chev. Then that boy sold it to get a CJ7 Jeep which lasted 6 months.
Thanks for these reminders... You are 1 of a Kind guy‼️👊💪😉🇺🇸
I love my '92 F150 Custom with the 300 6, 5 speed standard, and no rust.
Ha ha, loving the new glasses Scotty! Thank you for the great content
He looks sexier?
COOL! The SLANT\6 and the AMC 4.0L are also legendary!
Remember seeing these used at Delta Airlines 'TUG' brand baggage pullers and they were super reliable and had tons of torque to pull multiple carts and mail cans: one awesome INLINE American six that is bombproof.
Outstanding video and presentation
Sweet Truck! =)
Yep
I miss my 87 f150 with the straight 6, that thing took a punch and kept on going bought it for 500 bucks and sold it to the junk yard still running for 400 bucks needed the money at the time, looking back I should of kept it. I miss that truck truly the best trucks made for its time
Hey scotty I have a 1980 f350 dually and I am fixing the best up. Taking the fiberglass rear fenders off and building custom steel fenders to replace them but I am following the original pattern somewhat. I'm working hard on restoring it because the last owner neglected it in every way.
Thanks for another great episode
Ford ranger 1984 v6 2.8l was the best truck I ever had.

Greetings from Romania, you are the best ...
I m watching every video, it s fantastic.
I think we need you in every country.
All the best, Scotty!
Scotty you are the best
I knew a guy with a ford 89 PU with a straight six in it he bought it new in high school and he loves it a million years later 🤣. Thus was the first time i heard of this set up. You just confirmed it because i thought hevwas full of it. 👍
I had a 300 6 cylinder in my 76 f100. I got it when I was 18 and sold it 20 years later. I have an 86 f150 right now.
Arthur, Never sell . See how many people regret it. 88 4.9 stick here. Just got her painted. 👍
Ur pictures always tend to make me laugh 😂
We talking about the dump truck joke😉
hey scotty! i dont know if youre ever would noticed this but, me and my dad are your fans a big fan of yours, and just 6 months later my dad died, and the last videos i watched with him is you whining about some of newer bmws and mercedes car, we had a good laugh and the day after, my dad died its really sad for me...and i just wanted to say that, thank you for all of these years you still telling us, teaching us about cars about cars technology and stuff, i will never forget you mister scotty! thank you for all of this years! my dad says youre are one of his idols! ❤
Rest in Peace... God Bless your father.
I had a 78 F100 with the 300 straight six. I loved that truck.
That pic at 1:04 had me.. thanks Scotty
i have to say: thats was a such a good deal !
These old 80s Fords are awesome! Mine is an 86 f150 4x4 with the 300, 4spd manual, limited slip rear diff, dual gas tanks, power windows and door locks, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. It needs some work but even then it's a blast to drive.
Yup. That's exactly what I've been looking for - old Ford pickup somewhere between '73 and '83. Steel frame, steel bed, easy maintenance.
"it comes pre-dented" haha!!
My everyday driver is a beat up 68 F100. It'll never die
My '93 F150 is by far the most dependable workhorse I've ever owned. With an oil pan leak now finally at 170,000 miles, it is still a great truck. These trucks are built solid and just plain last. I only wish I could buy another one new. The 302 ci. is one of the best engines and a great runner.
We had a '80 F-150 Custom Longbed with a 4 speed manual transmission over 20 years ago. I miss that truck.
6:06 the moment we’ve been waiting for
i had a f 100 and i paid 2k for it back in 1995 it was a 1993 model i put 300k miles before the transmission went out in 2019.
You didn’t just rebuild the transmission?
@@applepoop10 it was in 2018 when it went out and not worth replacing it or rebuilding it.
This reminds me of my 1982 Ford Mustang with the 3.3L inline 6. The car literally rotted away from rust, but that inline 6 engine was still running like new!
My Dad had 1 in light blue with the 3 on the🌲 & a straight 6. He loved that truck! Still drives a Ford to this day! Has F150 & I drive a Mustang GT, last car was an Explorer Sport
I wish I could get a car for $2. 😭 That's all I could afford
You don't want a $2 car, partner. Them's the most expensive kind of cars you can buy.
The guy who owns that thing in the video got it from family. If that thing was sitting in a used car lot, it'd be $3K easily, just because it runs, ain't completely trashed, and can haul stuff.
I've officially been enrolled in Scotty Kilmer school of mechanics.
Have this engine in my 1970 f350 dump. Didn't realize what I was getting at the time that I bought it
I love my '88 Ford F-150 with the 300c.i I6 as long as the battery has power and gas in the tank, it starts every time and runs fantastic!

Thanks for mentioning the Expedition V8. I've been thinking about getting one but most have lots of miles.
Best engine ever made. I had 2.
What's your opinion on squarebody chevy's
Square body GMC and Vhevy trucks are great.
Another great video scotty
I respect the creativity with you in the bed shot.
Bought me a 1966 Ford Ltd, 390 always been a GM guy! Now I question my whole life. Ha ha
390s are awesome. I love that you can just give 'em a little gas, and they pull strong and smooth without all the noise and drama. My old T-bird had one. 80-90 mph was easy to achieve. No sense of speed or effort at all. Just tip into it and roll....
The cylinder deactivation, and even worse, the "start-stop" functions, where the car shuts down when you come to a complete stop, you just know a) that cannot be good for the engine and, b) it's just another thing to go wrong. I think they do it to meet fuel efficiency standards (?).
Mine has 3.25 rear end, 3 speed automatic, 2wd, and 30.5x10.7r15 (265/75r15) tires and I average between 15-16mpg (if I keep her at 65 or under) at 60mph she runs right at 2k rpm.
Yep, when I was a pizza delivery driver I had to replace my starter from all the starting/stopping... Then I started leaving my car on, while parked at customer's houses. You only get so many starts from a starter motor.
Funny thing... my starter burned out literally while I was delivering to an auto repair shop. Guess who fixed it.
Thanks for car info Scotty. I learn a lot from you.
Love the 300s. Had one on my 66 f100, got one in my brick nose 91 f150. Both still running.
I’ll give him $5,000.oo for it!
It's a 6 Straight.
I learned to drive on my dads 1965 Chevy trk 250 straight six with "three on the tree" shifter
Thank you again Scotty.
