@@AlAxford-di6ic Not really, mine has done great after having the EGR cooler welded, coolant filter and upgraded water pump and the blue spring kit all about 500, chilling at 400k miles

I absolutely agree on the 3V, they were turds and an engine I wouldn't own for any reason except if given to me for scrap metal.
@bobw7018 doesn't really have anything to do with the torque you tighten the plugs down to. The problem with the 2v and pretty much any Ford from the late 90's-00's was that Ford didn't put enough threads in the head for the plugs. Always had to use blue loctite on Ford plugs.
@@repnatl I disagree, as it was uncommon in the 4.6, which was related, and I have heard of the plugs doing the same in those from time to time, but ALWAYS because of improper installation torque.
The 3 valve I had was a nightmare. But I bought it used with 89000 miles on it. And didn't owe anything on it. Didn't keep it very long either. Kept it for 6 months. Traded it for a 2008 Subaru Legacy. Which had had its own list of issues. Mainly the drive by wire throttle body. When it's not the throttle body going bad. The computer goes out instead

I had a Ford 6.0. If I had traded it at 160,000 miles it would have been a great engine but I kept it too long. Then it was a nightmare. But don’t forget the GM 350 diesel.

The Ford 3.5l Ecoboost engine is amazing only if you do one thing when you buy one brand new. It has to be brand new. Put two oil catch cans on it. Turbo engines must have their oil changed before 4,000 miles. All torbos if used hard. Must be cooled down before stopping the engine. 5 minute rest at idel. Before trading in my pickup with the 3.5l Ecoboost. It had just over 24,000 miles. It ran like a top. Because I listened. Right away. Two oil catch cans went on. I changed my first time oil change at 2,000 miles. Just over 3,000 miles after that. Being the pickup had a 36-gallon gas tank. On the hwy. Not loaded. I could get up to 720 mile range. All the hp I needed. Not driving it like grandpa. Not driving it like a 16 year old. I just worked the engine. Amazing power plant. I ran the rpm between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm. I just let the engine work and not stomp the gas pedal to the floor. Whoever got my used pickup. Got an amazing pickup. It was broken in perfectly.
The Toyota 3v was absolutely fine with the head gasket issue being resolved. I bought a used 4 Runner with 125,000 miles on it and the dealer did the recall gaskets for free.
I have never owned a late model Ford, just a couple old school straight sixes, a 200 and 300, both never used oil and with the short gears were peppy in town.
@aaronroberts5685 I would fully agree if they were all the early iterations of each motor and especially the 1.0s! Ford has worked the problems out of most the ecoboosts now. With proper maintenance and warm-up times, any ecoboost post 2020 aside from the motors with the bad run of valves should be able to go 200 000+ miles. One trucks at my work is a 2020 3.5 eb. Truck has over 100k on it of long idle times, short distance trips, and doing manufacturer recomended oil change intervals. The thing still runs great! Another thing, the 2.7 ebs have less tsbs than the 5.0 coyote motor, or so I hear.
I have a 2011 F150 with the first gen 3.5 Ecoboost, had it since new and it has 342,406 miles and still going strong, everything is 100% original except the starter and exhaust manifolds, I changed out the exhaust to a MBRP 4” and put a K&N drop in air filter in it and it’s been the most reliable truck I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of different trucks.
@ADVF800GS Nice! Maintenance makes a huge difference. I hear that alot of the guys who do change the oil on their first gen ecos religiously, do not have the cam phaser troubles.
Absolutely fascinating! The way you broke down the mechanics and engineering behind the engine is so clear and engaging. You make a complex topic so approachable-great work!
The F150 is not and never has been Americas best selling truck line..When sales of Chevy and GMC are combined, they have always outsold Ford..They are essentially the same truck platform after all.. 1:14
GM makes GMC and Chevy but a Ford 150 is a Ford F150 so the F150 is the best selling truck and has been. Also the Silverado & Sierra have enough in NOT common so they are slightly different.
This give me bad memories of my 06 Mustang. The Ford Cologne 4.0 V6. FML. Alternator died one week before power train warranty ended. Head gaskets blew after warranty. Another alternator then water pump not to mention a small 1 inch long hose that fed water to the block went out costing $700 to repair. Bolts cane off exhaust manifold heads and finally i just said forget it. FORD: Fix Or Repair Daily
Buying a V6 Mustang was your first mistake. V8 or nothing. My '13 5.0 has been driven hard and no issues. Sounds amazing too. The V6 is for women or confused men 😅😂.
The Dodge/Jeep 4.7L V8 was a great engine. Yes, it needed TLC but it worked great if you kept up with maintenance and needed a cold are in-take and Borla cat-back to breath. I sold my Jeep with 250k miles and never any engine issues. Sure, I had to replace everything surrounding the engine. 😅
I'm never was big fan of those modular engines. The only modular engine that I like is a 5.4 cobra that is in The Terminator Mustang, and they are still spitting out the spark plug I got my 93 F150 with a 302 with 260,000 miles still has the same timing chain I rebuilt the transmission 216,000 and the only thing that was burnt was the overdrive band
@302Mustang13 no I think you were right it was my son's car so I wasn't too familiar but yeah but that thing had more than 390 horsepower I know it had computer chips installed few other things in the dyno. But it did spit out a few spark plugs which was a common problem with those engines
@Cruiser777 I've been in a 2004 Cobra one with a Kenne Bell making around 600 horsepower at the wheels (700 crank). I've never seen a tachometer move so fast.
The 2v is the icbs(intercontinental ballistic spark plug) yet it's superior to the 5.4 3v which everyone who makes these engines lists don't know the difference about.
Currently own 5 Second Gen Dodges, and have previously owned V10's, 360's, 318's, and ISB's. The 360 Magnum is the best of them all for all-purpose usage, reliability, and durability. The Cummins had too many expensive failures (lift pump, injector pump), but STILL is more reliable than the Ford and Blunder Motors diesels.
No engine is perfect there's so many parts in an engine that can fail. Not to mention your taking the 1-3%of occuring nightmares from these engines to determine that they're bad.
My 2009 ford f150 5.4 king ranch still going strong at 260,000 miles. I believe what keeps it going is changing the oil myself. I use mobile Synthetic oil with Lucas Synthetic. Been using this oil on my Ford for the past 120,000 miles since I purchased it used with 140,000 miles
My 2008 F150 has 365000 on it and it still has the factory plugs. I havent changed one part on my truck. I change the oil every 2500 miles. I use Castrol synthetic blend. 5-20 wt. I tow nearly every day pulling up to 10,000 lbs. When people stop beleiving you can run 7500 miles on an oil change there engines will be lasting alot longer. Service is key to any engine.
@kenphillips711 💯 true. Stop doing 10k mile change. Bring it down to least 4k. We don't drive much so what I do is change oil before summer and before winter. Twice a yr
And what makes that "fair" to Ford? They spend years developing drivetrains, frames, bodies, electronics, and interior with their Vendors. Ford knowingly put those garbage engines in since the 6.9 Cornbinder......(IH)
I have a 2005 Silverado with the 5.3, my dad had it since 07 and now I have it but from what we know we never had a problem with oil, was it only a problem for certain vehicles or was it all
2013 5.3 Chevy with 240,000 miles. I bought it used with 130,000 miles. When I first bought it would use a lot of oil. I got a new egr valve and that solved the problem. The new valve was a different design than the old one! It still uses about 3/4 of a quart in 5000 miles. I also deleted the AFM!
Yup. Had a 2011 VW Routan. VW wanted to get into the minivan market so they paired up with Dodge/Chrysler. They put the 3.5L pentastar motor in it. Calling it garbage, or piece of junk, is a compliment. Its the worst! Plastic everywhere, VVT, cylinder deactivation, and not to mention all the poor quality in ALL the electronics, and a terrible tranny. Full transmission replacement at 81k mi, 3 window regulators on both driver and passenger doors, sliding side doors and rear hatch not operating correctly, and wrapping it up with complete motor failure at 130k mi. I belive that was due to the plastic, PLASTIC, oil filter cartridge and housing breaking pieces off and falling into the engine. If i didnt purchase the extended warranty at the time of purchase, my family and i would be homeless, guaranteed. Easily this is one of my top 3 biggest mistakes of my life. I will never, i repeat never, own another modern Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, VW ever again. Corporatly they are thieving scumbags building failure into overpriced rolling pices of junk. And thats putting it nicely.
Giving the 6.0l Powerstroke failure to Ford instead of the actual maker International is BS. I blame it all on the EPA and emissions controls anyway. The old 6.9l International Harvester/Navistar diesel engine is easily the best one Ford ever used.
The VT365 (6.0L) for international trucks is actually de-tuned. The lowest HP was 175 and the highest was 230. Ford wanted more out of the engine to stay competitive with chevy and dodge so that’s why the ford pickups came in at 325hp. By 2005 the 6.0L had a lot of major updates that made it a much better engine. Yes it still had the head gasket issue but that was in the ford trucks. The international trucks equipped with the VT365 had far FAR less failures. International never designed the engine to have that much HP. Were both companies to blame?, yes but ford was more of the problem.
The problem with the Ecodiesel was the turbo location holding heat. Even deleted engines no EGR or not having a fast heat up "oil cooler" still having main bearing failures from gummed up oil. I have a '16 Ram 1500 4wd 3.0L Ecodiesel. The first 4 years of ownership I ran 40k miles a year. At 117k miles the EGR cooler developed a leak that I caught from having a Bank's iDash and noticed a change in the engine coolant to engine oil temperature ratio. Even after 3 software updates, fuel economy is still better than the EPA estimates and the first 10k miles experience. I still have the truck, but I have a newer daily driver SUV. My wife traded in her 2014 Ram 1500 4wd 3.6L Pentastar and got a 2018 Ram 2500 4wd 6.7L Cummins. That Cummins has issues with DEF freshness. The Ecodiesel does NOT have DEF freshness issues.
Pentastar 3.6 V6! Nothing but problems. Three oil cooler, rocker assembly twice, blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head. Finally got it running like a champ then the transmission went a week later. Living a life of bliss with the Honda J35 v6 that replaced that POS vehicle
What’s crazy is dealerships wont work on vehicles that are older than 20 years old. Thats a damn shame. I guess they use that to try to force people into buying new.
The 5.7 vortec was great but the heads are so thin they all cracked. Also the rubber intake gaskets were worthless. My 383 sports a good set of aluminum heads LT1 shortys and street and strip intake gaskets with #2 sealer. The next headache was the 2-bolt cheap starter so i added a three bolt starter.The thin ear likes to brake off if the inside doesnt snap off first. Remember the big iron 4-bolt. You could use those in a gym for curling.
This machine seems to have a problem with Ford. I’m a GM tech not one time did he mention the worst diesel engine made which is the Duramax I have never understood why GM sticks with that motor but this guy here is fake. He says mostly
@ I agree with you about the 6.5 but every day for the last seven years, I say every day not every day but we have got three Duramax and one of them has broken crankshaft that the customers has to buy an engine so yes, the Duramax is not a great motor at all
I also had the unfortunate ownership of a 19 Chevy trail boss with a 5.3, while it did anything I asked, it drank that that 0w20 like an 80’s kid drinks koolaide, and about 10.5 mpgs to boot, driving from Texas to Minnesota it once drank 6 of eight quarts, and Chevy’s response was that it was ok while towing a single camper
I like how he talks talks about the 5.3L but inputs 6.4 L in there and how he says from 99 to 2007, but that was the best year of the 5.3L they didn’t even have active fuel management
The other scary thing about Nissans 5.0 diesel in the Titan is that they made the transmission unserviceable by not selling the parts. You have to buy a whole new transmission, with exception of maybe a pan gasket.
Agreed. I think turbos are stupid on any of the smaller engines and definitely shortens engine life, with maybe a few exceptions, but to non car people, the word "turbo" must sound exciting or something.
Could be really interesting stuff if your narrative coordination with specs images wasn't as problematic as the engines being described. (e.g. I doubt Mopar had an Ecodiesel in 1947, and while the Chevy 5.3 liter is described, the spec says 6.4L)
In my 2001 Lincoln it had a 4.7 Triton motor in it and it was a piece of junk too timing chains were rubbing on guides and also blue spark plugs I parked it
I bought 2003 duramax silverado and changed oil as per manual(16000 km) and drove it to 475000km and 20 years.Only put injectors in once and a thermostat. Never used hardly any oil. Best truck ever!!! AND i only used walmart Syntech 15/40 oil in it from day 1.
The only good thing about the vehicles these engines came out with is that they are easy to find body parts for. They're all over the salvage yards. I've always found it a shame that the Ford 5.4 was a dud. It's a cool idea with the dual intake valves. It made good power, but was just poorly designed.
Manufacturers have always stated oil change intervals that are far out of reality. I remember 7,500 mile oil changes recommended by Ford way back in 1967. Everyone with the least bit of mechanical knowledge knew that this was BS and manufacturer's planned obsolescence. These 7,500 mile oil changes are still being pushed today and it's still, BS, but with todays oils you may get by changing at around 5k miles. I never ran my engine oil beyond 3,000 miles, never. My actual target beginning at 2,000 mi. My 2002 Taurus with the optional 3.0 liter, DOHC Duratec, that I bought brand new, always got an oil change with 5w-20 Motorcraft Syntec Blend at 2 to 3k miles and the internals of that engine were spotless when I sold the old gal last year with 150k miles and never any kind of repair made to the engine, just maintenance and a couple of sets of valve cover gaskets and intake manifold gaskets being replaced because of age and exposure to engine heat. Same goes with the transmission fluid and filter change at 15k to 20k miles. None of this dealer BS of back-flushing with the old filter left in place. The transmission still performed as expected after 22 years of driving and 150k miles. Don't forget to change the engine's coolant and thermostat every couple of years too. The original radiator was still in place and never an overheating episode. An overheat can be the death of an aluminum engine, even if it's only once. If you maintain the vehicle using good common sense and a bit of knowledge gained from technical service data that's easily available, you have a good chance of getting some decent service out of your vehicle.
Ford 6.7 2019 f750 to many issues to list thermostat sensor and got hot air line x3 head blew i think from over heat but they claimed comressor bolts broke electrical issues they made it so hard to get warranty work as well with dealerships refusing to work on it stack fell off rear was leaking on axle seal trans dip stick it shuts off now with ecu electrical voltage 63 .47 thats causing alot of sensor reading probably a bad harness only got 48k so she gem dont walk away run from my ram its only ball joint and def pump but i got hook up on them half price of napas and then some factory replacement
This is why, you see these low miles GM and Ford late model trucks sell so cheap. Best to buy a late model truck, sell the motor and trans. Then buy a 90's engine trans. and have them built heavy duty.
I'm a GM guy but that Cummins and 7.3 international are bulletproof. Ford got greedy and fucked up. 7.3 bring back it was the competition for the Cummins. Duramax is garbage
Manufacturers should be held accountable, they can't design or engineering I believe they're paid to design major faults.I hate the thought of having to buying new truck.All diesel engines need over $10.000 repair before leaving sales lot.In Canada the factory warranty is only get 100.000 klm or under 50.000 mile touch the engine they void warranty wich isn't worth paper written on
The manufactures need Togo back to the 60’s and 70’s. Bring back the 289,302,283,327 and the original 318 and 383. The six cylinders such as the 300,225 slant six !

In defense of the 2.7 ecoboost, the 2nd gen aside from a small run of bad valves is a very stout and well-built motor.
Anything ecoboost is trash
@aaronroberts5685 I would fully agree if they were all the early iterations of each motor and especially the 1.0s! Ford has worked the problems out of most the ecoboosts now. With proper maintenance and warm-up times, any ecoboost post 2020 aside from the motors with the bad run of valves should be able to go 200 000+ miles. One trucks at my work is a 2020 3.5 eb. Truck has over 100k on it of long idle times, short distance trips, and doing manufacturer recomended oil change intervals. The thing still runs great! Another thing, the 2.7 ebs have less tsbs than the 5.0 coyote motor, or so I hear.
I have a 2011 F150 with the first gen 3.5 Ecoboost, had it since new and it has 342,406 miles and still going strong, everything is 100% original except the starter and exhaust manifolds, I changed out the exhaust to a MBRP 4” and put a K&N drop in air filter in it and it’s been the most reliable truck I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of different trucks.
@ADVF800GS Nice! Maintenance makes a huge difference. I hear that alot of the guys who do change the oil on their first gen ecos religiously, do not have the cam phaser troubles.
@@aaronroberts5685 yet i see several ecoboosts with half a million on them..
Absolutely fascinating! The way you broke down the mechanics and engineering behind the engine is so clear and engaging. You make a complex topic so approachable-great work!
Thank you very much!
The only reason modern engines suck, is due to government regulations. End.
I’ll stick with my’67 Fastback with my 390! ❤
Love the video
The F150 is not and never has been Americas best selling truck line..When sales of Chevy and GMC are combined, they have always outsold Ford..They are essentially the same truck platform after all.. 1:14
GM makes GMC and Chevy but a Ford 150 is a Ford F150 so the F150 is the best selling truck and has been. Also the Silverado & Sierra have enough in NOT common so they are slightly different.
You do know that AFM engines went from 2007-2018 right?
Not 1999-2006
I know the text said 1999-2007 but that is incorrect for the most part.
the 2014 and after AFM was better about the oil consumption issue, but AFM and DOD both suck and should have never been invented
@@David-jt9nt I agree
AFM was a terrible idea.
In the long run you’ll spend more on fixing any issues brought by AFM then what you spend on fuel.
2.7 is a great motor, all issues were fixed
This give me bad memories of my 06 Mustang. The Ford Cologne 4.0 V6. FML. Alternator died one week before power train warranty ended. Head gaskets blew after warranty. Another alternator then water pump not to mention a small 1 inch long hose that fed water to the block went out costing $700 to repair. Bolts cane off exhaust manifold heads and finally i just said forget it.
FORD: Fix Or Repair Daily
Buying a V6 Mustang was your first mistake. V8 or nothing. My '13 5.0 has been driven hard and no issues. Sounds amazing too. The V6 is for women or confused men 😅😂.
The Dodge/Jeep 4.7L V8 was a great engine. Yes, it needed TLC but it worked great if you kept up with maintenance and needed a cold are in-take and Borla cat-back to breath. I sold my Jeep with 250k miles and never any engine issues. Sure, I had to replace everything surrounding the engine. 😅
The 5.3 with pre 07 great engines! Glad the 5.7 hemi is not on the list! You got the ford lemon engines forsure!!!
ford 6.0l i worked on had the cam gear slip a few degrees from the pressed on cam gear..
new engine was put in.
I'm never was big fan of those modular engines. The only modular engine that I like is a 5.4 cobra that is in The Terminator Mustang, and they are still spitting out the spark plug I got my 93 F150 with a 302 with 260,000 miles still has the same timing chain I rebuilt the transmission 216,000 and the only thing that was burnt was the overdrive band
The Terminator had a 4.6 4v supercharger. You must be thinking of the 2000 Cobra R that had the 5.4 4v but was naturally aspirated.
@302Mustang13 no it was 2004 Terminator it came with a blower and it was fast
@@Cruiser777 then it's a 4.6 4v supercharged engine. A 5.4 equipped Terminator would be an engine swap from a GT or GT500.
@302Mustang13 no I think you were right it was my son's car so I wasn't too familiar but yeah but that thing had more than 390 horsepower I know it had computer chips installed few other things in the dyno. But it did spit out a few spark plugs which was a common problem with those engines
@Cruiser777 I've been in a 2004 Cobra one with a Kenne Bell making around 600 horsepower at the wheels (700 crank). I've never seen a tachometer move so fast.
The 2v is the icbs(intercontinental ballistic spark plug) yet it's superior to the 5.4 3v which everyone who makes these engines lists don't know the difference about.
6:07 You talk about the 6.0 Powerstroke, and yet show a picture of a Ford OBS truck with the 7.3. Ffs 🤦🏻♂️😂
I have the 2.8L diesel in my 22 Colorado wonder if that motor will make this list?
Currently own 5 Second Gen Dodges, and have previously owned V10's, 360's, 318's, and ISB's. The 360 Magnum is the best of them all for all-purpose usage, reliability, and durability. The Cummins had too many expensive failures (lift pump, injector pump), but STILL is more reliable than the Ford and Blunder Motors diesels.
No engine is perfect there's so many parts in an engine that can fail. Not to mention your taking the 1-3%of occuring nightmares from these engines to determine that they're bad.
This is true. But with the testing they do, I assure you they know what the problems are.
My 2009 ford f150 5.4 king ranch still going strong at 260,000 miles.
I believe what keeps it going is changing the oil myself.
I use mobile Synthetic oil with Lucas Synthetic.
Been using this oil on my Ford for the past 120,000 miles since I purchased it used with 140,000 miles
That's impressive! 260,000 miles is a huge testament to the durability of the F-150 and your maintenance routine
My 2008 F150 has 365000 on it and it still has the factory plugs. I havent changed one part on my truck. I change the oil every 2500 miles. I use Castrol synthetic blend. 5-20 wt. I tow nearly every day pulling up to 10,000 lbs. When people stop beleiving you can run 7500 miles on an oil change there engines will be lasting alot longer. Service is key to any engine.
@kenphillips711
💯 true.
Stop doing 10k mile change. Bring it down to least 4k.
We don't drive much so what I do is change oil before summer and before winter. Twice a yr
In all fairness, both the 6.0 and the 6.4 were NOT Ford engines. Ford bought them as drop-ins from Navistar (IH).
And what makes that "fair" to Ford? They spend years developing drivetrains, frames, bodies, electronics, and interior with their Vendors. Ford knowingly put those garbage engines in since the 6.9 Cornbinder......(IH)
I have a 2014 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. Oil was changed religiousl every 5000 before i bought it and i continue that. I pray it stays reliable.
I have a 2005 Silverado with the 5.3, my dad had it since 07 and now I have it but from what we know we never had a problem with oil, was it only a problem for certain vehicles or was it all
The Nissan Titan engine was not the only bad part of the truck. The transmissions and rear disc were absolutely terrible too.
2013 5.3 Chevy with 240,000 miles. I bought it used with 130,000 miles. When I first bought it would use a lot of oil. I got a new egr valve and that solved the problem. The new valve was a different design than the old one! It still uses about 3/4 of a quart in 5000 miles. I also deleted the AFM!
My 6.0 had stretched headbolts at 150,000. Replaced with studs and have 353,000 miles on it. Still running like a top.
Yup. Had a 2011 VW Routan. VW wanted to get into the minivan market so they paired up with Dodge/Chrysler. They put the 3.5L pentastar motor in it. Calling it garbage, or piece of junk, is a compliment. Its the worst! Plastic everywhere, VVT, cylinder deactivation, and not to mention all the poor quality in ALL the electronics, and a terrible tranny. Full transmission replacement at 81k mi, 3 window regulators on both driver and passenger doors, sliding side doors and rear hatch not operating correctly, and wrapping it up with complete motor failure at 130k mi. I belive that was due to the plastic, PLASTIC, oil filter cartridge and housing breaking pieces off and falling into the engine. If i didnt purchase the extended warranty at the time of purchase, my family and i would be homeless, guaranteed. Easily this is one of my top 3 biggest mistakes of my life. I will never, i repeat never, own another modern Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, VW ever again. Corporatly they are thieving scumbags building failure into overpriced rolling pices of junk. And thats putting it nicely.
Giving the 6.0l Powerstroke failure to Ford instead of the actual maker International is BS. I blame it all on the EPA and emissions controls anyway. The old 6.9l International Harvester/Navistar diesel engine is easily the best one Ford ever used.
The VT365 (6.0L) for international trucks is actually de-tuned. The lowest HP was 175 and the highest was 230. Ford wanted more out of the engine to stay competitive with chevy and dodge so that’s why the ford pickups came in at 325hp. By 2005 the 6.0L had a lot of major updates that made it a much better engine. Yes it still had the head gasket issue but that was in the ford trucks. The international trucks equipped with the VT365 had far FAR less failures. International never designed the engine to have that much HP. Were both companies to blame?, yes but ford was more of the problem.
i have the atlas 5 banger, they went from 04 to 12 their pretty okay you can boost them easy like the atlas 6cyl
The problem with the Ecodiesel was the turbo location holding heat. Even deleted engines no EGR or not having a fast heat up "oil cooler" still having main bearing failures from gummed up oil. I have a '16 Ram 1500 4wd 3.0L Ecodiesel. The first 4 years of ownership I ran 40k miles a year. At 117k miles the EGR cooler developed a leak that I caught from having a Bank's iDash and noticed a change in the engine coolant to engine oil temperature ratio. Even after 3 software updates, fuel economy is still better than the EPA estimates and the first 10k miles experience. I still have the truck, but I have a newer daily driver SUV. My wife traded in her 2014 Ram 1500 4wd 3.6L Pentastar and got a 2018 Ram 2500 4wd 6.7L Cummins. That Cummins has issues with DEF freshness. The Ecodiesel does NOT have DEF freshness issues.
2.7L is the best of the eco boost engines.
And the 5.3L is unreal reliable
Thank you come again.
Pentastar 3.6 V6! Nothing but problems. Three oil cooler, rocker assembly twice, blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head. Finally got it running like a champ then the transmission went a week later. Living a life of bliss with the Honda J35 v6 that replaced that POS vehicle
Sounds like your the problem with your lack of maintenance 😅
5.4 in a work truck....456,000 and never been apart
Never use the 7.3 dirty like that for a video cover
Don't know how Ford is the selling truck when there's more engine problems than Chevy in his video
"F One Hundred and fifty" 😂
The 3 valve does suck.
Ford 3.5 ecoboost has been the worst truck I've ever owned. I promised myself to never buy ford's again.
Really I have two high mileage 3.5 ecoboost engines they have been great
What’s crazy is dealerships wont work on vehicles that are older than 20 years old. Thats a damn shame. I guess they use that to try to force people into buying new.
The 5.7 vortec was great but the heads are so thin they all cracked. Also the rubber intake gaskets were worthless. My 383 sports a good set of aluminum heads LT1 shortys and street and strip intake gaskets with #2 sealer. The next headache was the 2-bolt cheap starter so i added a three bolt starter.The thin ear likes to brake off if the inside doesnt snap off first. Remember the big iron 4-bolt. You could use those in a gym for curling.
Ford should have used the 4.6 in the F-150 instead and dumped the 5.4 and they should NEVER have put the ecoboost in any pickup truck
This machine seems to have a problem with Ford. I’m a GM tech not one time did he mention the worst diesel engine made which is the Duramax I have never understood why GM sticks with that motor but this guy here is fake. He says mostly
The durmax is great you are not a gm tech idk about the 3.0 durmax, but The 6.6 is better then the 6.0 and 6.4 maybe even the 6.7
@ I agree with you about the 6.5 but every day for the last seven years, I say every day not every day but we have got three Duramax and one of them has broken crankshaft that the customers has to buy an engine so yes, the Duramax is not a great motor at all
@ and yes, I am. I work for Southtown Chevrolet in Newnan, Georgia for the last 29 years.
I also had the unfortunate ownership of a 19 Chevy trail boss with a 5.3, while it did anything I asked, it drank that that 0w20 like an 80’s kid drinks koolaide, and about 10.5 mpgs to boot, driving from Texas to Minnesota it once drank 6 of eight quarts, and Chevy’s response was that it was ok while towing a single camper
I had the same truck. First thing I noticed was how slow it was. No get up and go. Pedal Commander turned that around.
I bought an eco diesel and didn’t even make it home from the dealer, with a snapped egr fitting in the motor
I like how he talks talks about the 5.3L but inputs 6.4 L in there and how he says from 99 to 2007, but that was the best year of the 5.3L they didn’t even have active fuel management
Ram 4.7 was absolutely a ridiculous idea to put in that truck ,,, no pulling power at all and just had no balls,,, now my titan with a 5.6 ! 👌🏼👌🏼💪🏼
Thank you.I was gonna buy a new ford pick up but not now😢
You forgot the Toyota 3.4L twin turbo
The other scary thing about Nissans 5.0 diesel in the Titan is that they made the transmission unserviceable by not selling the parts. You have to buy a whole new transmission, with exception of maybe a pan gasket.
Twin turbo engines are stupid unless they are diesel engines, a small V6 gas engine can't handle the thrust of the turbos
Agreed. I think turbos are stupid on any of the smaller engines and definitely shortens engine life, with maybe a few exceptions, but to non car people, the word "turbo" must sound exciting or something.
Could be really interesting stuff if your narrative coordination with specs images wasn't as problematic as the engines being described. (e.g. I doubt Mopar had an Ecodiesel in 1947, and while the Chevy 5.3 liter is described, the spec says 6.4L)
Ecodiesel owner here. No major issues but I'm already trying to sell it
its the best get ride of the def and you'll get 7.3 liters per 100 km
This video sucks
Just get to the point.😂. I like the straight foward comment.
So do you.
The truth hurts.
No shit, when he says 100 and we know it’s over😂
In my 2001 Lincoln it had a 4.7 Triton motor in it and it was a piece of junk too timing chains were rubbing on guides and also blue spark plugs I parked it
I bought 2003 duramax silverado and changed oil as per manual(16000 km) and drove it to 475000km and 20 years.Only put injectors in once and a thermostat. Never used hardly any oil. Best truck ever!!! AND i only used walmart Syntech 15/40 oil in it from day 1.
My trucks were not on the list; 2000 Toyota 4.7l, 254500 miles, 99 F250 V10- 100,000 miles
You forgot the 2022 to 2024 toyota tundra twin turbo v6. Eats it's #1 bearing and 100k engine recall so far !!
Proud original owner of a 2008 6.4. 105 K on odometer. I beat the odds!
I got an 08 f150, engine was bored and rebuilt, transmission, rebuilt. Basically everything on it is new right now.
I had a 2005 ford f150 xlt with the 5.4 and towed a 30ft travel trailer with out any issues
I've owned 3 5.4s one of em make 900 hp, the other 2 were pushing 400k miles
Spark plug doesn't seize they build carbon around the section that breaks off Ford
My Trident and my Dads Trident Fords are sensational motors.365k on mine and I use it for my work everyday.
All those miles and only a starter.
The only good thing about the vehicles these engines came out with is that they are easy to find body parts for. They're all over the salvage yards. I've always found it a shame that the Ford 5.4 was a dud. It's a cool idea with the dual intake valves. It made good power, but was just poorly designed.
10:33 You’re kidding right? The 2.7 is way better than the 3.5. I had a 2018 F150 with the 2.7 and that thing was awesome. And I still got 26mpg.
Just a ridiculous AI video. The Ford One Hundred and Fifty lol.
I just drove my 2001 Silverado on two Indiana to s Florida round trips. No oil use. 18.9 avg mpg with 1500 pound load. ext cab 4x4.
My F150 has the 4.6 Triton had it 5 years now still going strong
I can’t say anything bad about a ford truck I’ve been a mechanic for 60 years. I made one great living working on the Ford trucks.
Manufacturers have always stated oil change intervals that are far out of reality. I remember 7,500 mile oil changes recommended by Ford way back in 1967. Everyone with the least bit of mechanical knowledge knew that this was BS and manufacturer's planned obsolescence. These 7,500 mile oil changes are still being pushed today and it's still, BS, but with todays oils you may get by changing at around 5k miles.
I never ran my engine oil beyond 3,000 miles, never. My actual target beginning at 2,000 mi. My 2002 Taurus with the optional 3.0 liter, DOHC Duratec, that I bought brand new, always got an oil change with 5w-20 Motorcraft Syntec Blend at 2 to 3k miles and the internals of that engine were spotless when I sold the old gal last year with 150k miles and never any kind of repair made to the engine, just maintenance and a couple of sets of valve cover gaskets and intake manifold gaskets being replaced because of age and exposure to engine heat. Same goes with the transmission fluid and filter change at 15k to 20k miles. None of this dealer BS of back-flushing with the old filter left in place. The transmission still performed as expected after 22 years of driving and 150k miles.
Don't forget to change the engine's coolant and thermostat every couple of years too. The original radiator was still in place and never an overheating episode. An overheat can be the death of an aluminum engine, even if it's only once. If you maintain the vehicle using good common sense and a bit of knowledge gained from technical service data that's easily available, you have a good chance of getting some decent service out of your vehicle.
Might of added in the LB7 and it's fuel issues. My grandfather went through 2 sets of injectors before 200,000.
The LB7 injectors were a known point of failure, but those trucks are still out there running strong.
Ford 6.7 2019 f750 to many issues to list thermostat sensor and got hot air line x3 head blew i think from over heat but they claimed comressor bolts broke electrical issues they made it so hard to get warranty work as well with dealerships refusing to work on it stack fell off rear was leaking on axle seal trans dip stick it shuts off now with ecu electrical voltage 63 .47 thats causing alot of sensor reading probably a bad harness only got 48k so she gem dont walk away run from my ram its only ball joint and def pump but i got hook up on them half price of napas and then some factory replacement
This is why, you see these low miles GM and Ford late model trucks sell so cheap. Best to buy a late model truck, sell the motor and trans. Then buy a 90's engine trans. and have them built heavy duty.
What I’m hearing is mostly the result of poor manufacturing quality. The rest can be blamed on bad engineering management.
GM used that Italian engine manufacturer for their 4 cylinder diesels in their Colorado/Canyon pickups and branded it as "Duramax"
Why you tripping on cross RAM pictures.
Long ram
I'm a GM guy but that Cummins and 7.3 international are bulletproof. Ford got greedy and fucked up. 7.3 bring back it was the competition for the Cummins. Duramax is garbage
Ford's new motto is "Ford, built broken with planned obsolescence in mind "
Manufacturers should be held accountable, they can't design or engineering I believe they're paid to design major faults.I hate the thought of having to buying new truck.All diesel engines need over $10.000 repair before leaving sales lot.In Canada the factory warranty is only get 100.000 klm or under 50.000 mile touch the engine they void warranty wich isn't worth paper written on
The manufactures need Togo back to the 60’s and 70’s. Bring back the 289,302,283,327 and the original 318 and 383. The six cylinders such as the 300,225 slant six !
As a Toyota/Lexus owner. I found this amusing. Lots of trash on this list.
I put 350,000 on my 2002 dodge Dakota 4.7 v8 a d it was running when the frame rusted out and broke. I must have gotten the good one.
Oil changes would fix most of these problems the spark plugs were fixed by going to a better design neve have broken one.
