REDLINE Until It BLOWS UP (4.9L Durability Testing)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Today, we run some "tests" on my clapped out 1994 Ford F-150. How long will it last at redline with no coolant? Is the 4.9L inline 6 as durable as people say they are?
Anyone stop to consider the reason he's wearing a mask is to hide his face cuz hes a minor 🤨
Why would that matter you don't have to be 19 to upload
@@Mr.Safety. I meant like he's uncomfortable sharing his face with the internet
Why does that matter to blow a engine?😂
@@ramdam2136 How Cares lol if he would be in Europe he would be an adult at 18 you troll
I would think incase something did blow he could have a extra second or two to run without instantly breathing it in
I had a 95 f150 with 300six , water pump went out on night when I was 30 minutes from home. It was getting dark and the truck was my spare so I said F it and just figured I'd drive as far as it got me. Got so hot that it locked up after 5 miles but luckily I had enough speed to jump start it again, went another ten miles and it locked up hard when I slowed way down for a turn jumped it again and it went another ten miles until I had to turn again and it finally locked up to totally about a mile from home. Got a ride home came back next morning started it right up and drove home changed water pump and drove for another 60k before I retired it.
My friend did the same thing. It wasn't his water pump, but it was a fan belt for the fifth time. We were about 10 miles from his house drove to his house and then Change his 1980 Granada, with no tires another 15 miles to his other house. About 2 years ago, it formed a horrible rod knock, it still has daily truck. It was several years ago. But I believe it was somewhere around a 115° outside. Before we started towing his car. I got underneath his truck and And had to tell him that water was pouring out of his exhaust pipes.
That truck was on its last leg but that engine had 100,000 more miles left in it
It sure did. It didn't even sound that bad. That 4.9 is strong.
With care and slow driving maybe even more miles
100k? Nah that thing is junk. Maybe 500 max
@@igethacked23 your just mad because your brand new 5.3 dropped a lifter 2 miles after you left the dealership parking lot
"I don't hear no bell"
The engine that made Ford #1 in trucks.
chevy was on top the whole production run of this engine
@@Hillbilly_BrandonBullshit 😂😂😂
Those revs sounded great for a 6 cylinder. She did really well for having no coolant circulating and likely having water mixed with the oil from the blown head gasket and internals that were probably already very worn.
This was like watching an ISIS torture video. I am horrified. Heartbroken. Each and every inline 6 deserves a chance to get back on the road. But here’s another one who is life was tragically ended for a bit of UA-cam fame. Monster.

@saulgoodman-qq2oz it was more of a joke
My 88 f150 4.9 (300 six) has 480,000 miles on it, doesn't smoke or leak. Still runs like new with the only significant work needed was a new timing gear at 300,000. This is my third Ford with a 300 six, they will last almost forever if you just do proper maintenance such as regular oil changes, etc.
Guy I used to work for did well and had many cars. He had a Cadillac, jaguar and a Mercedes, etc. but his daily driver was a “Turd brown” eco online van with the 300 inline 6, and he drove it to half a million miles.
Yeah and theres lots of guys talking trash about the 4.9L 300 inline 6 when they think the motor will blow faster than theirs would those dumb guys and still today 2023 they still talk smack about it
I would say that it is really a bullet proof engine by Ford, but not stupid proof.
It is stupid resistant for at least a 100000 miles.
A buddy of mine got jealous and removed a thermostat bolt from the housing and put sand in the radiator. I went on a 2 1/2 drive out of town. Never got hot., AC and 70 mph all the way. That evening after arriving, while having coffee, I noticed it was wet under it. Sure as Shnt, there was residual everywhere. It was gritty. Opened the cap, no water, sand, and an aggravated owner. Went and got new coolant, radiator ,a thermostat and gasket as well as hose barbs and an adapter. Flushed it for an hour then did the same from opposite ends. Put it back together and it still runs like its new. 94, 120k miles. I bought it from the original owner. Great truck.
2 1/2 drive ?
Why do I feel that if you'd just turned the key at the end, it would have still started?
Because it would lol
I have a 5.0L 96 f150 xlt with over 360k miles on her, still makes a 26 mile trip twice a day five days a week. Fricken troopers!
got a 94 5.0 f150 daily drive it and take it 300 miles north to hunt. got 240k they really are fantastic trucks
Kid wears his mask outside only to destroy a truck...
I think he was hiding his face
Trying to hide his face, ik him irl. All imma say to respect his privacy.
Good old loyal 4.9 she didn't get you there fast But she would get you there
Rest in peace loyal tower of power.
I bought a really nice 1990 F150 with this engine that apparently never had an oil change because it was all sludge inside. Looked like brownies. Bought a rust bucket with a beautiful straight six in it and rebuilt it and stuck it in the nice one. Later on I bought a super clean low miles rust free 96 F150 with the straight six and it performs so well.
There's 9ish minutes of my life I'll never get back. Proof that you literally have to be a child to kill a 300
The only six with 7 main bearings
Some people in the comments said that that engine was good, but I wasn't sure about that. After seeing the shakiness and smoke, I knew it was worn out. When he tried to move the truck it knocked, so yes dead engine. It had oil so it was just abused before. I don't even like watching this type of stuff but ok. I just watched this because I searched Inline Six engine sound and I came here, lol.
Amigo y como lo iba a mover si ni siquiera le entro el cambio 🤦♂️
I love how the close captioning was saying applause while he was holding it on the limiter
I didn’t notice until now 😂
Yep. Now I want one. At first I was like "oh a 6 cylinder in a truck is kinda weird and sad" but given my history of loosing oil, I should be fine with a 300. They look TOUGH
better snatch one up. the secret isn't a secret any more. they are getting harder to find in one piece. too many of them had things like this done to them. this actually is hard to watch.
@AlLMyMaDArT-vf7ur price dropped to 2.9k making it super tempting but I'm not able to get it due to upcoming life events
can attest to this, my daily is an '84 f150 300 i6 never fails. tough as nails.
Them old 300's are tough
him "Whats that on the ground?" Also him "Dumps a gallon of water "
No reason for the mask they don’t even work… is this the new kind of fashion statement or something?
Maybe he doesn't want his face being seen
This guy is a mini Whistling diesel
Not yet 😂
I have a ford 4.9 & i found this hilarious idek what the 4.9 redline is but i never rev mine past 3000
Peak horsepower is at 3600 rpm, so I'd say that's the redline for the 300. Peak torqe is 1800 or 1900 for the efi motors, don't remember which
This engine had a criminal case of rod knock and lifter tick and still survived 5+ minutes on the fucking chip lmao
I tore it apart and the oil pickup was full of sludge so I don’t think it had much oil circulation either, can’t believe it lasted as long as it did!
Man hearing that rod knock noise brought me flashbacks. I blew up one motor by accident and never wanna do that again. 💀
Was the engine repairable? Probably before it was blown. But it was also gone enough that I can’t hate him too much for it.
I would’ve loved to see the tear down. The sound tells me you almost certainly threw a rod.
seriously watching this kid try to kill this truck is pure gold.
Hahahaha the buckets I understand..... the mask outside by yourself...... don’t worry little buddy it’ll all be over soon! LOL
Its a true old Ford. It won't die without one hell of a bang. Respect to you good old 300 I6 and thank you for the service you gave over the years of your life you tough old beast
I've never seen a 300 worn that bad .
In the name of science! Plz video taking it apart
ua-cam.com/video/kyIKi4fEWt8/v-deo.html
Thanks
that engine was built on a wednesday at 1pm lol
There are quicker and less destructive ways to steamclean an engine...
Cool I always wanted to see how much abuse the legendary 300 could take. I remember the cash for clunkers videos they would take forever to die after the oil was replaced with sodium silicate when normal cars would die after a few seconds
Dude please get another one and give it a better test reminds me of my 89 f150 man I miss that truck wasn’t that beat up but I miss that motor
My 82 f150 300 has 600k on it and i just drove it down from Bismarck ND to NC 3 weeks ago. 0 issue.
I had a 1997 mercury cougar with a 4.6l. bought it off a 75 year old woman who only put 50,000 miles on it. it was basically immaculate. Well me being a 16 year old thinking he was so bad ass whupped the ever living fucking shit out of it. Burnouts all the time, reverse j turns at 25 mph. Constantly smashing the gas, constantly going 130mph where it would govern off, drifting, red lines hard, dumping gallons of premium fuel into it which was only supposed to be unleaded. Racing. The only issue it had when i sold it at 130k miles is the first gear was a little stutterey before the geat change into second gear. I sold it 7 years qgo and its still running at 190k miles. Only major repair my buddy has had to make was a new head gasket which he replaced with his mechanic cousin. Fucking absolutely bullet proof ass motor and transmission.
I had 2 mid-1960's beater Chevies running on 7 of 8 cyls, I would take to the junkyard and wished I had ran them with what little oil was in them, maybe drain the coolant and run them until they seized or threw a rod.
I would have pulled it and rebuilt it still alot of life left in it
y’all quit dogging the kid. let the man live his life😂
You done ol Peg proud! Frickin mint bud
That's a lotta ketchup for an old 6. Mine still ain't gave up.
If the trans wasn’t completely messed up it would’ve been cool to blow it up seeing how much weight you could carry with it. Then again youd have to have a truck to carry the weight back from where it blew and the truck itself.
I don’t think the trans is blown up, clutch wasn’t working
It kinda sounds nice for an old truck!
The 300 is one motor worth rebuilding, sad that wasn’t a 5.0 block those ol 302s always have a crack waiting to give
depends on the 302 (as you didn't say 5.0) those old ford blocks had a high nickle content to the casting...it is why chevy need 4 bolt main caps to even stay competitive with the little 2 bolt light casting ford....sorry...just saying....newer blocks forgo the nickle and that is why they came out with upper and lower girdles...the old saying at the race track was "you can't make enough power to break a Ford engine' came about because of the nickle casting.
Thought this video would’ve had a million views at least. Good video 😂👍
Only 139,021 miles on it? That lived a short life...
U sure the odometer was rolled back?
We bought it from some kids who used it as a parts truck, so I’m gonna guess that the odometer is correct and they just beat the crap out of it.
@@GasGuzler That explains it! They should have at least used a truck to sell parts and beat on it that was already broken. What a waste of them. Nice vid tho
Tough, but they'll break piston skirts from cold revs and burn lots of oil then.
that was fords only competition to try to beat GM 292 inline six. they didnt do as good. but lasted almost as long. the 300 was larger but totaly gutless and got about 2mpg towing. we had one in a service truck. 20 gallons would get you 40 miles
WOW...Taking a clapped out engine and doing everything you can to make it worse....bad gas,no coolant,oil that was probably 5 years old and then reving past it's mechanical limits to finally get it to blow up !
DUDE !
That is epic dip$hitine$$ !
Kind of reminds me of when a few friends and I got together with this 69 chevy truck with a 396...sure it was in pretty good shape and the engine ran like new with only 60k on the clock....but we decided to test it's durability by firing an armor piercing .50 BMG through the side of the truck and engine....and guess what !...It didn't even start !
So all in all I would have to say that 300 is 10 times the engine as that old 396 !
At least by your testing standards.
That 300 held up better than most any other engine would have if it was 'tested' with the same issues.
Only a slant six dodge would be able to hold it's own !
Dude you should’ve roasted some marshmallows over that exhaust! Haha
We have it so bad in America that we can deliberately destroy bullet proof engines
def blew a rod apart
dude.. that.. was.. AWESOME!!
So you're gonna take a motor that is toast by you own words and test durability...
I see what you did there...you👍
I would of just got a brick and put it on the accelerator and walk away from it watching it from a distance.
tough as they come , blowing it up ? naa , but that said i was curious if it would blow
you should cut the exhaust off too lol and maybe use brake clean as nos, seen pec from zip ties n bias plies do it
That's how you make a fn video son 👍 enjoyed it
dint need rings, that white smoke was coolant in the combustion chamber
It doesn’t show up on camera well but there was definitely blueish smoke at times, either rings or valve seals.
@@GasGuzler if ya just went by smoke and didn’t check and destroyed it lmao
@@GasGuzler Did you even do a compression test? Come on now....
This ain’t no durability test. This is straight up abuse. Any engine would fail under these conditions.
Still look like like there's alot of good parts you could sell like the cab fenders
Core support rearend still money to be made once it's gone its gone
I sold the body in the first week lol, hard to find rust free trucks around here.
Thanks, the mask protected me from the Bat flu.
That engine was running like a sewing machine. I would have just parted out the truck and kept the long block for a project.
Bad rings lol probably just smoked because it sat for a while
What a waste of a good block with potential, all for a measly 7k views.
I’ve stated this before, this was THE most common motor you will find in these trucks, you can get a low miles good running 4.9L for under $200. If this was a 460 that would be a completely different story. If this was worth something, I would’ve saved it. Nobody is going to spend time fixing a bunch of mechanical damage on one of these, they’d much rather buy a new engine.
They literally made millions, didn't see you rushing to buy it bud.
@@cmkm54 why should I rush to buy it? I bought one new in 1993 and it is still kicking strong. No monthly paymaent for 24 years LOL
@@1q2w3e922 my 94 has 280k miles on it.
@@GasGuzler true but some would use that engine being a stright 6 cylder there hard to fine well mostly but still any way great video id do the same maybe but right now those trucks where i live 2 to 3 k for a running one and that in the shap like this all so am not being mean id join in lol
4.9 is pretty tough
"I bet it still runs"
-🗿
Should have just sold it.
Why didn't u just put it to the floor and let it go? Boring......
Umm, " we are going to check durability of these motors". Considering he is wearing a mask, says a lot about him.
Hahaha nice,, proper way to finish it off.. keep up the content
Bet I will still start after cooling down
It had chucked a rod, but if I’m being 100% honest I bet it would have 😂
Oh boy, there was probably nothing wrong with the motor to be honest. The smoke was probably more than likely from the old gas. Could of probably sold that motor for $500 easy
Smoke was not from old gas, I hooked the lines up to a new tank because the old one was rusted. And I was told by the previous owner that it had blown a head gasket, and there were many other signs that the motor was not good internally. Also even a good running 4.9L is only worth around $350 at most, nobody wanted this one when there were plenty others for sale that ran well.
You should of took the muffler off and see how it sounded
That looked fun
If you squint she's mint!!
id say it would still crank
I bought one with 340k on it, looks brand new, same style I believe, leaks oil a little but man it sounds pretty and fuck it goes
This kids a dope, should NEVER be allowed near a ford truck or the street EVER!
what a waste. it couldve been restor-derbied wah wah. you go tftg!!
We don't need no stinking KEY!RIP.😎👍✌🇨🇦
Wareing a mask in the open fresh air...really...he's the same guy that wears 2 masks with a face shield in his car with the windows up
Aww, I was hoping you would try to crank it again for shits and giggles. Cool vid tho!!
i don't think you could have blown that motor if it had coolant in it. that was still a stout motor, kind of a waste to some degree
Can I have the mirrors 😂
Got to love that Mazda 5 speed, lol
What a waste. That engine is so bulletproof somebody else could’ve taken it down to rebuild and make it better than new.
BULLETPROOF
Ironic im here at 4.9k views
same 😂😂
That is pretty good no? This is a full length vid.. over 1 min.. he may be getting paid for this.. watch it again, two or three times.. help a guy out!
you're cool and cute brother what you are doing to rev your old truck before she ended up hahaha!
And it’s a standard haha just bought a 96 with 200000 on it
Such videos are now forbidden.

First name WAYNE last name KER..
the reason he wears masks is because he doesnt want to smell the smoke
I have a 4.9 as well and this puts a smile on My face
So you got a super Duty huh?.....well.....mines a "FOREVERDUTY". Shame you did this. Idve given hundreds of dollars for it. but I Appreciate the example.
Not sure what you meant by “Super Duty”, and I stated it multiple times that this engine was already on its way out, if it was worth saving I wouldn’t have done this to it. Where I’m located these 4.9L engines are all you can find, I have a few perfectly good running motors that are for sale, if you really wanted one you can buy one of those. Nobody wanted this one it simply needed too much work.
You need to learn how to hold your foot down you did at the end of it
I love it!
