    • @jonf2009
      @jonf2009 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      A lot of it is the poor intercoolers auto makers put on the cars. Diesel fuel cools cylinder walls down as it's sprayed in the cylinder but gas doesn't. I have a focus st as a daily work car and the temps spike to 180-190 as the turbo spools up which kills engines, the fix is a 700$ intercooler that keeps intake temps at a reasonable 90-100. But auto makers don't want to pay triple for the part due to volume production issues.

    I have a 2000 Durango and it has a magnum engine not a hemi. I love the thing. In the 14 years I’ve had it I’ve replaced everything except the engine and trans. I mean everything, rear differential, everything. Lots of back yard body work. I figure I’ve spent about $25,000.00 including the original price I paid. It seats seven and rides great. Divide that by 14 years, not bad. It’s not how much it’s worth, it’s how much I save by keeping it in repair. If the engine or transmission ever goes ill replace it, it’s my cheapest and reliable option.

  • @nabismith8023
    @nabismith8023 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    Scotty, i get your bias about turbo engines.( I am also a mechanic btw) These cars can last just the same. As long as you know the failure points going in. You can easily get well over 200k miles out of them. Modding is where you run into problems. Even then as long as you tune it properly and dont skimp out on oil changes and keep the car from overheating.The issues are minimized and longevity is very attainable. Technology has came a long way since the early days. Alot of failures are due to poor maintenance and people running poor tunes with excessive boost pressure. My family runs Ford ecoboost 2.7 and 3.5 and both have well over 250k miles and are still going strong. And they are work trucks.

    My brother bought a 1991 Buick Rivera with the non-turbo 3.8 liter engine 20 years ago
    with 151,000 miles on it. He sold it to a friend 2 years ago with 410,000 miles on it.
    The timing chain had started to rattle. His friend bought it anyway, and he has been
    driving it trouble free for the last two years. It now has 435,000 miles on it.

    The Toyota 1jz and 2jz engines are turbo and as long as you don’t overboost it will last forever the turbos will wear out multiple times before the motor has any issues and most of the issues these motors have are mostly due to abuse and poor maintenance

    It is just a difference in business models. My explanation is not typical, but it is important to understand.
    1. The Japanese language has no alphabet. The orignal Chinese characters and the characters in 20th century Katakana and Hiraga are not an alphabet. Think writing is difficult. So imagine a company with layers of management. Unlike the US where the orders and directions are top down, an idea is circulated among managers at the same level and when there is approval, the suggestion is kicked up to the next level. This results in incremental, but solid improvements in cars.
    There isn't going to be advertising like "all new for 2025", "fastest selling" or "revolutionary" as you see from Detroit.
    2. Which car companies are going out, finding promoters selling "new techologies" and paying fortunes for the small "future of the industry" companies that don't pay off? The Detroit based car companies which decided to value advertising over reliaiblity, flash over quality.
    3. There are a lot of Americans who buy vehicles based upon the monthly car payment and impressing the neighbors. With disruptions in the economy over the last few years, governmental subsidies for car makers too big to fail not on the table, and Detroit not living up to promises of improved quality, the Detroit based major car companies should be in trouble.

There's no way to stop that data collection; so I won't ever be getting a new car.

This car has been nothing but trouble, there’s been two recalls which we had serviced and yesterday the motor went out. I can only get $1000 to trade it in and we still $8000 so the only option is to go back to Ford and get a new car because we’re screwed in equity. We need advice on what to do next.
