You worked hard and waited for the right Truck to buy... As someone lost $35,000.00 buying it new. You bought it for $1200.00... Spent $1400.00 with your labor. You're into it for $2600.00 and no payments!
Work with people who defend getting a new vehicle and make less than $59K a year and wonder why they can't afford anything. I agree 100% with your message.
New vehicles aren’t really that much better than the old ones anyways I’ll never understand the fools, if it’s the power you want throw bolt ons and good to go still a lot cheaper than a new vehicle
The speech about money and banking is worth watching the video for. Buy used if you have the talent to fix it and remember, those expensive trucks are often bought just so other people will see the owner in an expensive truck. Keep it up and keep teaching the truth of common Sense living.
Great video man! I am a full time mechanic and I have a car note. I've had older vehicles in the past that were bought outright and cash, but after working a 10 hour shift fixing other peoples junk. I didn't feel like coming home to repair my own junk.
Good advice!! I have three old Ford trucks 89 F150, 94 F250 and a 95 Power Stroke.And not a one of them owe me a dime. I look at a new one.. Even a base model will cost you over $30,000. Not just no.. But NO FRIGGIN way! Just for that I am subscribing. Your a good man. Keep it up.
Yeah , I make decent money and can't come close to affording a new truck! Who is buying these overly expensive trucks ? Not to mention paying personal property taxes on a 40 or 50 thousand dollar truck!!
That's ok. My neighbor is a wanna be teacher and she bought an $80,000 Silverado with the diesel and she runs her kids to hockey practice. That is bad debt.
@@oby-1607 WOW! 80k i wonder what the payments are ? 1200 bucks for 72 months? Where is all this headed too ,no wonder so many people are months behind on their car payment!
Oby-1 Your neighbor is the reason why a pickup truck is priced beyond your average guys reach. All these rich bastards pay these insane prices, so they can show off there expensive toy. They've put it out of reach for those who don't have the dough to throw around. It's a truck!
@@plugger4945 I kind of look at it like the kids who take on college debt. The college raises tuition and the creditors loan the money. The people who take on debt to drive a new car and the creditor don't care what you have to do to pay it. Like RtW says this is insanity. It is unsecured debt. It will depreciate below what you are paying for it before it's paid off. I wish more people would have his attitude about debt. We would be so much better off as a country.
I agree with you 100%, if you can't afford a new truck for $45,000+ and most people can't then you can do like you did. I just read that 7 million car loans are 3 months or more in arrears. That is a record level of bad car loans, the economy is in bad shape and there are a lot of people making really bad decisions. I really like your message and your work ethic, keep on keepin on.
I am relieved , and truly inspired. The mindset of this man the Roaches To Wrenches message is apparent threw and threw. Thank you for all you've done and shared for us all to experience, truly grateful Canadian gal, who upholds(trying amap) and believes in the right to repair. Ive learned a lot about myself while working on my vehicle and so much more. This message resonated well. I just had to give some feedback, after all that we have all gone threw since, this is as important as ever. Big thanks for the assistance and motivation. I cheered when you started it back up! Great job! Wholesome and real.
Dude, that's a very accurate and honest way to describe why the majority of people are so financially screwed. I subbed to your channel. We need more people with this mindset.
Hey, mad respect to you and what your about. Thanks for the videos. I have the same truck but I was an idiot and paid 8 grand a year ago and now it's needs to be bulletproofed.
@@thelasthallow Ford did away with the 5.4, the last production year was 2010, since then you will get the 5.0 or the v6 ecoboost, however Ford recently released the 5.2 on the Mustang Shelby Gt350 and 500 series cars. Its also a naturally aspirated engine which produces 525 hp, don't know if it will be offered in a truck package.
no fucking shit, i said "the last revision" meaning the last change they made to the engine, and the 5.2 has been out for several years now on the mustang its the fucking voodoo engine and it was specifically designed to go into the GT350 cars, i know my shit i used to build parts for the current S550 Mustang every day.
Civilians and mechanics, amen to that coming from an aircraft mechanic. I have a F150 with this same 5.4, I’m pretty inspired to put in some of the work you just did
Love the Grind Life. That’s what it takes in life. Some people start out in different places in life, but that doesn’t mean we can’t move ahead from where we are! Nice work man!
Great video. I wished I had seen this before I spent over $5000 to rebuild my 2004. I have since replaced the front wheel bearings, struts, and brakes and calipers myself so I should be good to go for many years. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2007 F150 like yours and the guy that I bought it from already paid for the work you did plus new tires and brakes and rotors. It had been sitting for about 8 months before I bought it. He sold it to me for $1750 and I am still wondering why. I keep thinking something must be wrong but it runs great and the 4x4 works good too. Keep up the hard work.
I have a 2006 F150 5.4 with 130,000 miles and just spent $3,700 for a valve job, new timing set and cam phasers, spark plugs and coils, miscellaneous gaskets and other parts I also had the transmission fluid and filter changed...my hat is off to you for doing the work yourself...I was afraid to try to fix this motor myself because of the complicated design...GOOD JOB AND WELL DONE
Just came across your channel because I have an 2005 F150 with tining rattle. You have a great aspect on life and vehicles. Keeping it real keep it up.
Wow great video. I got a 5.4 with 200,000 miles I want to do what you did great video. Just subscribed can’t wait for more videos. All about that lifestyle budget trucks
Here you out here working in the freekin' snow... !!!...I have 2 dudes I know w/ 2 and 3 car garages and dont work on jack...One is even a Helicopter tech....Always taking thier stuff to the "dealer"....They lazy AF...Me..I bought a old '94 Ford...I been thru ev'ry area of that truck....Front to back ..side to side...Did all in a parking lot....One has a heated garage..(3 car one)....I even offered to do basic maint for a fee ofc on thier vehicles...They blow me off.......Learnt it from watching You Tube vids like yours....Keep up the good work...We need 'em....!!!
Good looking truck. I like extended cabs. Added internal storage and a regular size bed. The 4 door models with 5 foot bed look like an SUV with open air porch. Thanks for showing us how!
I just got one with 223k miles for $1000 lol… 4x4 and covered with rust. Only reason it wouldn’t run is the alternator, now it runs and drives smooth! I may do the oil pump, timing set and whatnot just to keep it running for a long time. And now I need to learn how to do some basic body work to prevent it from rusting itself out! Hello from Alaska, this series has been cool! I’ve been looking everywhere learning about this engine and this 11th gen Ford.
Love it,wish I had just a portion of your skills , I have the desire to buy a truck and fix it up , nothing is impossible. keep on doing what your doing.
RTW - You should video a chat with Mike Rowe. So much wisdom about real people and real work... I grew up in Pittsburgh, now I am reminded of having my tools freeze to my hands in the winter, working on my '52 Chevy - it was ten years old and already a $100 rust bucket. I'm still fixing stuff fifty years later, those skills and habits are lifelong assets. Good on ya.
Awesome video. As a former mechanic I really enjoyed this video. I only buy older F150’s and fix them up and flip them. Your knowledge and demeanor makes your video tp notch. I just subscribed. Keep up the good and looking forward to more videos!!!
I just bought a 2004 for 1500, needed transmission and had also a bad code with motor (p0012). Did the transmission for 1,340, and now I'm looking at the motor and watching youtubes about how trashy these motors. You inspired me to keep on going and hopefully make this truck unbreakable! THANKS MAN!
What I like most is that it was all done using tools a regular guy can have. No lifts, no air compressors. Just knowledge, patients and a little strength.
Thank you so much I really enjoyed your video .I'm your newest subscriber. I watched both of yhe ford 150 videos .You're a hard-working man. I appreciate that I have a 5.4 liter with a blown engine it's a year 10 with a platinum package I'm in the middle of purchasing a new motor for it and researching the jasper or powertrain, and how to get the engine out .I'm thinking I will buy a Gantry crane at Harbor Freight and pull the body off what do you think of that?
Much respect to you my good brotha,keep doing what you're doing,you know why,because it's just good COMMON SENSE that many of us don't seem to have or really just REFUSE to have.MUCH RESPECT AND SUCCESS TO YOU....What state are you in????
I've been thinking recently about paying the rest of my loan off of my truck and getting another truck that needs less stuff or trying to restore it and make it something that I want.. This gave me more drive to restore my truck man.. I'm considering this a pep talk lol. Good vids. Chunking the peace at yah. Take care.
Good message my friend I love this channel , like in another video I have one of these trucks I cannot work on it however I make enough money to get a mechanic to work on this truck an still for it at a steal , I think I’ll do the samething to my truck great inspired truck nice work again.
This guy has the right attitude about trucks and cars!

@12:06 The exhaust manifold is included here. $2800 and change.
List those parts in the description. A LOT of 5.4s out there need "bullet proofing". Big help to folks. Good on ya.

I did the same thing with my 5.4 Triton ...... he runs HARD now 🎯
How awesome is this channel!?! Exactly how I feel. You keep doing you. I grew up watching my dad do exactly the same thing. Nice to watch. :)
Mechanics or civilians....hahaha that’s perfect 👌🏼
Crap........I'm a civilian.
Great to see someone getting the word out about getting into bad debt. Most important is that you live by what you preach. Thank you!

My 2000 f150 5.4L 2V is at 316,538 miles and still a work horse. Good vid bud
2V are the real bullet proof Engines. I seen the frame rot out before the engine gives it up...
supposedly the last revision of this engine where they remove the cam phasers is even more reliable since they removed one of the big failure points.
