The problem with the turbo charges motors.Isn't the motor but people don't let them cool down before they turn off the motor..Those turbos run very hot..
It’s not uncommon for turbochargers to spin at 100,000 RPM. What you have to realize is that the spindle is “floating” on a very thin layer of oil. When you shut off the engine the oil pump is no longer providing that pressure to float that shaft. Letting the engine idle for about 30 seconds before shutting it off helps but I see people revving their engine just before they shut off the engine. So much for those turbo bearings.
Three major things kill a 6.4 power stroke. 1. Diesel particulate filter. The regeneration process dumps fuel in #8 either washing pass the rings or burring the #8 piston. 2. EGR heat exchangers that leak and dump water into cylinder #8 3. Turing these for power they were never intended for. Remove the first two problems and never tune the engine and it does just fine. Need to service often oil changes, check water, etc.
I turned wrenches for 45 years I bought a new 2005 f250 powerstroke have serviced it properly and have not had any of major issues.coolant and oil stay within 9 degrees even with my 10000 lb. Camper behind me on a 95 degree day in Georgia.maintenance is the key!
Heard so much bad about the 6.4 Powerstroke, however if the terrible not ready for prime time emission systems are deleted it can be a great engine with huge power. Mine has 327,000 + miles with only changed the lift pump and starter. You must change the oil and fuel filters often!
I have a 2023 F150 with a 2.7. It has over 100,000 miles and not one failure or issue. Also, this truck is used in the West Texas oilfield, so it is put through alot.
My 2005 5.4 has 154K and just now starting to make noises. I am going to replace the engine and keep driving the truck. Truck is in great shape all around, just the engine starting to make some noises. This is the 3rd 5.4 I have owned from the 2 valve to the 3 valve. Change the oil, like anything else and it will run and run.
Let's talk about the 6.4 powerstroke. I am a fleet mechanic for a public utility in California. Back in 2009, the company decided to buy a boatload of F450 and F550s equipped with the 6.4 powerstroke. Most of the trucks were equipped with service bodies while others were equipped with a manlift. I actually had one in my service truck. No one complained about the way the trucks ran because they actually seemed to run quite well. That is when they ran. Now here is where things got weird. Almost immediately some of the trucks were having catastrophic failures that required a complete engine replacement. Some had more than one engine replacement before the truck had 1000 hours on it. It got so bad that most of the electrical connectors that had to be removed to replace the engine had to be zip-tied together because they had been disconnected so many times. It got to the point that Ford decided to stop doing the engine replacements under warranty because they felt our trucks were too heavy for what the 6.4 was rated for. As soon as the driver threw his lunch pail in the truck, it was too heavy for the 6.4 to handle. What's the weird part? About half the trucks never had a lick of engine trouble. These trucks weren't built any differently than the others. They weren't any heavier or used any harder. But 15 years later, these trucks are still running strong on their original engine. It doesn't make a lick of sense. My shop truck is one of those lucky ones. It still runs as well today as it did when it was assigned to me in 2009. Sure it leaves a bit of oil under it anywhere I park, but I still flog it daily. And you had to mention the 5.4 Triton. We had a grip of those in our F150s for years. There is not enough room for me to write about the headaches those trucks caused me. I will just say the overtime I made dealing with breakdowns with those trucks probably put my daugher through college
Just sold my 04 f350 with 6.0 which had 478k miles on it. Once EGR deleted and head bulletproofed, it was a great engine. Think I did have two sets of injectors replaced as well…but no car payment for 15 years more than offset her time in the shop.
I’ve had a 2020 eco diesel and found it to be quite reliable. The secret I was told was to keep the air oil and fuel filters changed often. I’ve done that and haven’t had any problems. 66K mileage. I pull a 23ft airstream and love the torque and the mileage while pulling is 16 mpg and 29 without a trailer on the highway. 22 around town. I love my Ram and was very disappointed when they discontinued the eco diesel under the mistaken premise that electric trucks were going to be a thing.
I have 330,000 miles on my 5.4L 3V and have never had to do anything to it. Changed the plugs twice, only broke two the first time, and used the extractor kit. Runs like a champ. Do oil changes every 3000 miles. Those who say it's a bad engine never took care of it. And I'm an auto technician.
Since the inception of the 5.4 Triton I've owned 3 from new to trade and every single one went over 250000 and never had any issues except they only got between 12-14 mpg
Only issue with mine was fuel economy! i ran it hard enough to make my manifolds glow red, never caused issues. Thats what maintenance does. Only time I was left stranded was when my starter went. Sold the truck at 260,000 while it still was in good shape, only wanted better fuel economy.
I got an 05 f150 with the 5.4. 188k miles. It on it second check engine lite, 1st one was the gas cap, this one is s fuel regulator. I did take it into Larry Miller ford before it hit a 100k. Changed all timing equipment water pump, and oil pump. Ford paid for all of it. But they did tell me in a formal letter to not fuel with Maverick fuels. Run chevron or she'll since then, no problems pulling plugs and coll packs.
I have an 08 Colorado with a 3.7 liter 5 cylinder and the only problems I’ve had is spark plugs at 100000 miles and a water pump and thermostat at 110000 miles. Runs and drives great. 21 mpg in a 4wheel drive
I have the 2010 4wd with 120k miles. My only engine related problem was a stuck open thermostat about 1000 miles ago. Besides that, the RPM and temp gauges quit working so i just have a Scangauge II plugged in and mounted below the AC controls so i can keep track of engine temperature. The plastic quick connect fitting on the heater core also broke. I change the engine oil every 5000 miles.
2018 ram 1500 3.0l eco diesel. 90k miles still running like the day it was new. I pull an 8500lb travel trailer with zero issues. 14mpg with a trailer and 28mpg without. Now I did add the green diesel tune. So maybe that helped. But I have no issues.
I have a 20 Ram 1500 with the 3L EcoDiesel. About to roll over 50k miles. Zero issues. Upgraded the air intake and a tuned ECU from Green Diesel. About to install a catch can too. Love the purring of the diesel. ZERO issues
My 08 Silverado did eat up a cam with 50 k miles . Chevy repaired it free of cost . By hey I’m a Chevy guy. My 2012 has over 100 k miles . The 5.3 only had 2 bad years. I’m on my 5th 5.3 . Only the 08 failed me.
Have a 2016 3.0 ecodiesel with 80,000 miles = zero issues but did a tune no EGR. Change oil, fuel and air filters every 5000 miles, add hotshot friend to fuel every fill up due to the CP4. Average 26 mpg. 2009 F150 with the 5.4, traded it in with 240,000 and had zero issues. Same as the ecodiesel, oil and air every 5,000 miles. Maintenance folks and only tow what the motor is happy with, watch the temps and adjust to keep them cool. If you need to tow faster than the temp allows get a bigger truck.
The 2.7 ford eco boost had some problems early on. And they were fixed under warranty. After they were fixed, the engine turned out to be reliable. And the later models have an excellent reputation.
The oil issue was probably the plastic oil pan that leaks. Had to replace the oil pan on my 2.7. Never had to add oil just down a little bit by oil change time. The "skid plate" which was actually a maxi pad for the truck absorbed the oil as it leaked. 160,000 miles with regular oil change and running strong. 2015 F 150
@ In addition to the oil pan issue, some early edition 2.7 had turbo seals that leaked oil into the exhaust (mostly the left turbo for some reason.) . Others used some oil when oil leaked past the valve seals. It wasn’t nearly as widespread as the oil pan leak. But those problems were common enough for ford to issue tsb’s to address those issues. But the vast majority had no problem other than the leaking oil pans. And ford finally redesigned the oil pan to make it less prone to leaking. It seems to have fixed the problem. And yes, these engines generally last for MANY miles
@onewhoknowsrevenge6807 well, as a technician at a Ford dealership, I see what fails most often. And other than oil pan gasket leaks on the earlier models before they redesign the gasket, we really seldom sea 2.7 l with significant engine problems. Even the oil pan gasket leak is more of an unpleasant nuisance because it doesn't leak enough to even have to add oil in between changes. I cannot speak for other dealerships. But I can speak for mine. And we don't have many 2.7 problems.
Nissan did not slap a Cummins badge on a Nissan engine that engine was 100% Cummins designed and made. Cummins fucked Nissan. Listen to this man talk about that Toyota if you do maintenance they can go forever duh!
Cummins build too many great engines m11 was good kt 17 and kt 19 and 24 were good isx was ok 5.9 6.7 were good pu truck engines but they made a lot of bad engines
Bought a Range Technology AFM/DFM disabler for $200 and plugs into my OB2 port on my Tahoe , it works great, and I can feel the difference in power and performance! Plus an increase in gas mileage, especially on the highway! I was Leary of it Initially, but has proven me wrong!!!
That's the first thing i did when i got my 08 Silverado with 70,000 miles and it now has 111,000 miles and doesn't burn a drop of oil between 5000 mile intervals. It still ticks sometimes right after startup but goes away when warmed up. I hope i saved the engine and it can go to 300,000 miles.
I had a 2013 Silverado work truck with the 4.8L V-8, no AFM, DOD, or DFM. Kept it for six years with no issues, gave it to my son and his wife when their new car was destroyed in a collision. I still have a 2002 Silverado with the 5.3 with 250,000 miles.
I have the 3.5L Ford EcoBoost in my F-150. 12 years on and 110,000 miles and except for a recall one time it has performed fine. It doesn’t get the gas mileage advertised, but none of the vehicles do.
I've got a 4.7 liter V8 Dodge Dakota, and it's approaching 150000 miles and it's still going strong, the problem has been the radiator, I'm on the third one 😒. I change oil every 3000 miles, and haven't gotten any trouble from the engine or the transmission. I guess the more you take care of maintenance is the key to longer engine life.
The big lesson here is to never buy a vehicle with a newly-designed engine or transmission. Always wait 3 years. That's how long it can take for major issues to become widely known. For example, I am a long time (30+ years) buyer/owner/driver of Ford pickup trucks. I first became aware of the issue with the Triton 3-valve engine in December 2006. That engine, introduced in model year 2004, had been around since autumn 2003.
Had a 97 E-350 5.4L v8. It blew out 3 spark plugs, at different times. My fix was a Napa repair kit, $50 the plug was longer and had it's own cutting head. It had 400,000 miles on it when the cam chain jumped.
@@mwinterhawkins even my 3v wasnt a problem when I took care of it... did nothing but maintenance to it and sold it at 260,000 still running good. only sold for better fuel economy
I was a machine operator on the Nissan Titan diesel, the light duty diesel department at CEP for Cummins in Columbus IN, and the real reason the engine would fail is because they tried using a cast engine block with tiny graphite pellets mixed in with the steel to try and make it lighter. Well it ended up causing debris to break off into the oil and coolant which ultimately led to catastrophic failures. The thinking was that if they made the engine lighter, then it would long term be easier on the front end suspension. Cummins is on a crash course with "out of business," since they have completely gone away from what made the company great to begin with. Sounds like a common theme in America today. Let's take something great and ruin it.
All my Ecco boost have been unbelievable great. My 3.5 Raptor in my Navigator never stops pulling and the mileage is amazing. Change oil and you won’t have any of those issues people who don’t have!
I spent several years pulling cabs and heads on those. Problem is even ARP studs and wirelock gaskets couldnt fix them. That engine only had 4 bolts per cylinder, even big gasoline engines had 6. Thats the bare minimum for a diesel. I would also pop the rear coolant plugs from the heads and add a recirc line, and even a fine particulate coolant filter to save the egr and oil coolers clogging. Big bulletproofing mess. If you didnt want to haul 25k, it worked fine.
Same here. Got mine a couple years back. They’ve got the power for sure. Mine is great but it’s a little cold blooded. The first 6 miles or so it runs a little rough. Once it warms up it’s a beast. Does yours do that?
6.4 and 6.0 "Ford Diesels" were actually International Diesels. These led to to Ford moving on and designing their 6.7 because they got sick of the warranty claims. We had the 6.0 in our Navistar medium - duty trucks. They were crap in those as well. Terrible engine. Sad considering the engines they replaced, the 6.9 and 7.3 were such great engines.
Well, I bought a 2007 Ford F150 Super Crew Cab, 4x4, new off the lot in 2007. Has the Triton 5.4 engine and I have had zero issue with it. Changed the Oil and Filter regularly. The only thing I had to replace were the 2 front shocks. 18 years old and still rolling down the road.
I had a #4 in my 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. I owned it for 4 years, paid it off and never had a single issue other than the plastic dash crack so I had to dismantle the entire dash to replace it. Other than that it was an amazing truck. Then again I didn't put many miles on it, maybe 50K miles over the 4 years until I traded it for the Cadillac version, the Escalade EXT. I'm still driving it today and it has 115K miles and aside from some normal maintenance repairs it's still looking and running like new. Though I do have a minor oil leak to tackle next. But anyway the "4-8" engine in the Avalanche just felt like a regular GM V8. I didn't notice any fuel savings. But it was a nice running truck.
6.0 diesel 2006 F-250 Original owner 300,000 miles. Original turbo replaced all injectors, installed external oil cooling, water pump, aluminum radiator at 200,000. Original head studs and gaskets. Pulling trailers all the time. Oil changes plus arcoil every 5000 miles full synthetic. Watching my EGR temps. Banks six gun tuner installed 2007. MBRP exhaust 5" 8" pro Comp lift. 38" Toyo AT's
I bought a 94 Toyota pickup with the 3vze engine. The problem is the crossover exhaust from the passenger side to the drivers side causing too much heat and blown head gasket. I had the crossover removed and replaced with headers and a dual exhaust. Result is much more power and a very reliable plant.
2015 Silverado 5.3 , No problems yet ,No oil consumption problems either ( 1 QT /6000 miles ) . If you keep the oil changed , you will not have problems .
I've got the 5.4 triton and 5.3 vortex in my driveway. The 5.4 has less than 100k miles. It's a yard ornament/dumpster. The 5.3 has 155k and still running strong. Not a lick of oil consumption, but I did disable the AFM
As a mechanic of over 40 years I approve of this video. GMs 5.3 AFM engine was as much garbage as their previous attempt with the Cadillac 8-6-4 debacle. Ford had more issues than just the 5.4 Triton, the spark plug blowing out of the cylinders also happened with their V10 paltform
What you’re talking about for the 5.4 is the 3 valve version which wasn’t released until later in its career. The 2 valve one (the original) was pretty decent
i own a 5.4L triton in a 2008 f150, i followed what is said to watch out for which is buy the metal sleeved plugs, and watch your oil changes and use a good oil filter. Bought it with 128000km and now a 202,000 km and still going strong, hopefully I do not run into the very expensive cam phaser issue any time soon... But so far so good.
#1 only needed a few aftermarket changes to make them run forever. Change out the oil pump to a melling high volume, and when you did the timing change back to the 2v cast iron tensioners. If you did this early enough in the life of the motor it and do your oil changes on time and it created a good motor. Mine has 210k on her. I thought it needed a timing kit done, but found the cracks in the exhaust manifolds. Not a super fun job, but not the worst.
The 2007-2013 GM 5.3L was a great engine if you disabled or deleted the AFM/DOD. The car wizard even says these are the best used trucks. Definitely shouldn't be on the list as its way better than any current engine in any new truck.
I sold my 3 valve, ford triton 5.4 work truck at 273k after pulling trailers for years, and the guys who bought it are still using it, to the best of my knowledge. Yes, it has spark plug issues, but if you helicoil them, or leave them alone, 300k+ is not unusual!
Yes, I turned wrenches in those days fords 6.0 and 6.4 l and 5.4 and Fords 6.8l V-10 would break valve springs or valve keepers (generic metal )would drop a valve with no warning, I wont work on the diesels junk, junk, junk, spend 5 k engine work and parts still a piece of junk ! I will not own a ford because of my experience in the field. Ford made millions and millions on parts sales for something that should have never left the drawing table. I hate it for those consumers who bought one.
They don't know. i had two f150 with 5,4 triton. not just the engine are the worst I never imagine. But the frame is a multilayer sheet metal. The humidity keep inside and rust make it like thousand-sheets french pastry. There no recall for the frame and the engine? It's a shame, I never get ford again.
I had a 2004 6.0 Ford. in the 186000 miles I owned it the ONLY issues I had was lost two fuel injectors. Not at the same time, about 3 yrs apart. I serviced it regularly and used 10w 40 Rotell.
I’ve had fantastic luck with the 5.4l ford. Had an f250 with one and the only issue I ever had in 200k miles were the exhaust manifolds. And of course breaking off the spark plugs when trying to change them. Not a hard fix though!
I've got a F150 with the 5.4 Triton. I bought it in 2007. I've never had an issue with it ever and it has over 280,000 miles on her. Spark plugs are a pain in the ass to change, but besides that, no problems whatsoever
Gmc sierra 2500 with the 8.1 496 big block was one of the worst engines ever. Very powerful but all of them eventually throw a rod bearing. The worst gms were when they took a smallblock 350 and made it a deisel back when they 1st started trying to go deisel. Nothing but issues and never got solved either.
Our 2.7 in our Edge ST is a strong engine. It is transverse mounted. We bought it new and we have a warranty that as long as the oil changes are done by the dealer we have engines for life. If it was that bad I wouldn’t they would be warranted like that. Unlimited miles and they even come here to service it. It is a 2022, but it is really good.
I haven’t watch the other video but probably he’s talking about the older gen 3 LS based engine. The L83 is a LT based which from what I know from 2022, they still have lifter issues
The 5.3l pre AFM was rock solid top 5 best engine GM ever made there is a difference in 5.3l engines. Early models 1997-2006 Great any after 2006 junk!
My 5.3 used nearly 3 quarts between oil changes, until I switched from crappy synthetic 0-20 oil to 10-30 dino oil. Now I only lose a 1/2 quart over 4-5k miles. My biggest complaint with my silverado is the weak built chassis. Wheel bearings and brakes are consumables in this truck.
Be careful with thicker conventional oil. It will eventually plug those ports for lifters and give you that famous tick. I had the tick from same reason. Ran seafoam for a thousand miles. I now run one quart of tranny fluid every change. Fixed it right up
AFM sucks mine looks like a diesel when I start it after working it in the least and it's supposed to be one of the fixed ones, my old 5.7 never used any oil to speak of compared to this POS that uses at a minimum of 3 quarts per oil change.
2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 second owner reporting here, 234k miles original parts on the whole engine. I didn't torture her, but I definitely put her through her paces.
I've got the same miles on a 2003 Dodge 4.7 Magnum. I did have some sludge, but fixed it by going back to the recommended 5W30 from 10W30, changed PVC valve, and dropped the pan to clean it out. No valve issues to date, but it does burn oil since I ran one change of full synthectic.
Those engines showed to be reliable, but one thing that truly killed them was if ever they were overheated. They used lighter tension stainless steel compression rings. Once it was overheated the rings were gone.
I traded my '02 F-150 for a brand new '07 F-150 and it bearly lasted 20K i got rid of it and got an older one with the 4.6 V8 and it's still running great with over 275K on the odometer
Loved my 5.3, 3 valve Ford. Sounds like a baby diesel heck yeah. Spark plug change was super fun ! Then the loud knock to to make sure you know it’s about to get real.
2010 F150 owner with 269k miles on a 5.4 3v, it's ticked/rattled for 12 years of pulling a lawn service trailer and pulling a camper. I'd take it anywhere on a roadtrip
I have a Dodge truck with a 4.7L V8. I got 338,000 on the original engine, and swapped it out because the water pump overheated. I put another in and 150,000 miles later it runs like brand new.
Just had my water pump go out on my 2012 4.7 with 81k. Fortunately it couldn't of happened in a better place. Right when I pulled into my driveway. Didn't overheat. New water pump and belt and running great.
I have a 05 F-150 with the 5.4 Three valve, with 2 hundred thousand miles, had the oil change regularly, never a moments trouble with the motor. The transmission on the other hand is a piece of crap. Third time it has lost overdrive.
They mention the Dodge 4.7. I have one in my Dakota, well over 200k miles and still going strong, and our yard truck was a Chevy with the 5.3, mileage unknown but know it was close to 400k if not more
I don't know if you are talking about the 1st gen 2.7 eco or 2nd. I have the second, and it has been amazing over 160km. Do your maintenance and use good oil. No problems at all. Mine does not use oil at all.
I had 2002 5.4 triton. I never had a lick a trouble. I did regular oil changes and switched to synthetic oil. I made it to 275,ooo miles before I traded it in on a new truck.
I’ll take you back. Had a 1983 Chevy C10 with a 250 straight six that had an integrated head. What a concept. They all cracked and guess what happened when you’d replace it. Yep…cracked. Said I’d never own another Chevy, but here I am with a 2018 Silverado Duramax. Totally different truck, of course, but now dealing with all of the electrical issues common to modern trucks.
I put over 100k on a five cylinder, pulled trailers from Little Rock to Raleigh a couple of times. The only failure I had was the computer, and that was covered under warranty
I have a 4.7L Dodge Dakota with around 120k and still pulls like a sports car. I do have to add a quarter between oil changes, but hammer the crap out of it!
i had two f150 with 5,4 triton. not just the engine are the worst I never imagine. But the frame is a multilayer sheet metal. The humidity keep inside and rust make it like thousand-sheets french pastry. There no recall for the frame and the engine? It's a shame, I never get ford again.
5.4 2V fired plugs through the hood. The 3V plugs from 2004 to 2008 broke in half when you tried to remove them. Oil pump was weak, and the chain tensioners were notorious for blowing the seals causing oil starvation on the top half of the engine.
I have a 2017 Silverado with the 5.3 v8 with active full management and I have had the same issues as you have listed on this video Chevy hasn't got it right it still sucks I'm at 133k and already have 18 k stuck in tring to keep her on the road
The most common problem I've come across Ford powerstroke V8 was with the high pressure oil pump would you situated at the top back half of the engine right below the turbo, a major headache to replace 😒
My gosh !!! 😂😂😂 I didn't go into the video but i read the words as the small video played. I can't say how many times I was busted up from the metaphors that came across the screen. Who wrote that script??? They definitely could be in the comedic world!!! Automotive comedy routine. How many people have thought of that? How fresh and new, as far as I know. A subject that almost every vehicle owner has dealt with. May have had us tearing our hair out or crying when we were going through it but to have common experiences that someone can help us to laugh about it, now, is a gift waiting to be delivered by anyone with the material that will have us rolling in the aisles! Able to not just deal with the butterflies but actually loving that feeling which has us thriving on that nervousness that feels so enlivening! Come on! Stretch out those wings and maybe if success is beyond your dreams then maybe if you happen to notice that someone in the audience is obviously going through the the breakdown experience, in the present , then maybe you could give them some encouragement. When issue after issue comes up we think it will never end.
I have an f150 2.7 ecoboost and does not burns any oil, with that being said I am not happy with the truck due to turbo failures and master cylinder and booster failures. But motor is solid.
Had a 2003 Ford Excursion 6.0 diesel, changed oil every 3K/4K, always started and ran great, had it for 17 years/ 200K+ miles until frame rusted and traded it in.

The problem with the turbo charges motors.Isn't the motor but people don't let them cool down before they turn off the motor..Those turbos run very hot..
How long should I sit in my driveway?? Or just get a regular engine and be fine.
It’s not uncommon for turbochargers to spin at 100,000 RPM. What you have to realize is that the spindle is “floating” on a very thin layer of oil. When you shut off the engine the oil pump is no longer providing that pressure to float that shaft. Letting the engine idle for about 30 seconds before shutting it off helps but I see people revving their engine just before they shut off the engine. So much for those turbo bearings.
GM's Active Fuel Management is pure genius. It shuts down cylinders until the tow truck is doing all the work.
LOL. good one.
Three major things kill a 6.4 power stroke.
1. Diesel particulate filter. The regeneration process dumps fuel in #8 either washing pass the rings or burring the #8 piston.
2. EGR heat exchangers that leak and dump water into cylinder #8
3. Turing these for power they were never intended for.
Remove the first two problems and never tune the engine and it does just fine.
Need to service often oil changes, check water, etc.
Never owned any of these engines so I can't report for good or bad. But, your analogies are as crazy as expecting facts on The View.
You mean there are forms of expression other than simile?
That was what I thought was the best part of the video!!
Or Faux News..lol. who gave up 750 MILLION for lies..lol
I turned wrenches for 45 years I bought a new 2005 f250 powerstroke have serviced it properly and have not had any of major issues.coolant and oil stay within 9 degrees even with my 10000 lb. Camper behind me on a 95 degree day in Georgia.maintenance is the key!
Same here for my 06 powerstroke
Maintenance is the key to any engines life. The 6.0 is a great engine if you keep up the Maintenance
Heard so much bad about the 6.4 Powerstroke, however if the terrible not ready for prime time emission systems are deleted it can be a great engine with huge power. Mine has 327,000 + miles with only changed the lift pump and starter. You must change the oil and fuel filters often!
I have a 2023 F150 with a 2.7. It has over 100,000 miles and not one failure or issue. Also, this truck is used in the West Texas oilfield, so it is put through alot.
Guess you only heard 2.7 and not the years they said.
@@CourtneyPorter-gm6wi 2.7 is one of the most reliable engines, there are f150s with 2.7 for sale with 300k miles
Even a blind chicken gets a little corn sometimes!
I had a 2017 with a 2.7...Great engine.
I’ve been the owner of 3 different 5.4’s in my years,
and all of them had 175 K+ when I traded, and had original plugs and ran fine.
CHANGE THE OIL!!!
I have a 2001 5.4 with 360,000 miles on it and it just recently started having issues. Ran great for years. Take care of them.
Love the 4.6 and 5.4 two valve
We have 4 with over 330,000 miles a piece and just now starting to give problem.
the 2V 5.4 and 4.6 are great motors...the 3V is junk..
My 2005 5.4 has 154K and just now starting to make noises. I am going to replace the engine and keep driving the truck. Truck is in great shape all around, just the engine starting to make some noises. This is the 3rd 5.4 I have owned from the 2 valve to the 3 valve. Change the oil, like anything else and it will run and run.
Let's talk about the 6.4 powerstroke. I am a fleet mechanic for a public utility in California. Back in 2009, the company decided to buy a boatload of F450 and F550s equipped with the 6.4 powerstroke. Most of the trucks were equipped with service bodies while others were equipped with a manlift. I actually had one in my service truck. No one complained about the way the trucks ran because they actually seemed to run quite well. That is when they ran.
Now here is where things got weird. Almost immediately some of the trucks were having catastrophic failures that required a complete engine replacement. Some had more than one engine replacement before the truck had 1000 hours on it. It got so bad that most of the electrical connectors that had to be removed to replace the engine had to be zip-tied together because they had been disconnected so many times. It got to the point that Ford decided to stop doing the engine replacements under warranty because they felt our trucks were too heavy for what the 6.4 was rated for. As soon as the driver threw his lunch pail in the truck, it was too heavy for the 6.4 to handle.
What's the weird part? About half the trucks never had a lick of engine trouble. These trucks weren't built any differently than the others. They weren't any heavier or used any harder. But 15 years later, these trucks are still running strong on their original engine. It doesn't make a lick of sense. My shop truck is one of those lucky ones. It still runs as well today as it did when it was assigned to me in 2009. Sure it leaves a bit of oil under it anywhere I park, but I still flog it daily.
And you had to mention the 5.4 Triton. We had a grip of those in our F150s for years. There is not enough room for me to write about the headaches those trucks caused me. I will just say the overtime I made dealing with breakdowns with those trucks probably put my daugher through college
Which was between never and when.
Just sold my 04 f350 with 6.0 which had 478k miles on it. Once EGR deleted and head bulletproofed, it was a great engine. Think I did have two sets of injectors replaced as well…but no car payment for 15 years more than offset her time in the shop.
I’ve had a 2020 eco diesel and found it to be quite reliable. The secret I was told was to keep the air oil and fuel filters changed often. I’ve done that and haven’t had any problems. 66K mileage. I pull a 23ft airstream and love the torque and the mileage while pulling is 16 mpg and 29 without a trailer on the highway. 22 around town. I love my Ram and was very disappointed when they discontinued the eco diesel under the mistaken premise that electric trucks were going to be a thing.
I have 330,000 miles on my 5.4L 3V and have never had to do anything to it. Changed the plugs twice, only broke two the first time, and used the extractor kit. Runs like a champ. Do oil changes every 3000 miles. Those who say it's a bad engine never took care of it. And I'm an auto technician.
2006 and up were better but still had issues...
@@workingshlub8861 owned a 2010. ran like a champ
Since the inception of the 5.4 Triton I've owned 3 from new to trade and every single one went over 250000 and never had any issues except they only got between 12-14 mpg
Only issue with mine was fuel economy! i ran it hard enough to make my manifolds glow red, never caused issues. Thats what maintenance does. Only time I was left stranded was when my starter went. Sold the truck at 260,000 while it still was in good shape, only wanted better fuel economy.
My 5.4 just started burning up coil packs at 250k
I got an 05 f150 with the 5.4.
188k miles.
It on it second check engine lite, 1st one was the gas cap, this one is s fuel regulator.
I did take it into Larry Miller ford before it hit a 100k.
Changed all timing equipment water pump, and oil pump. Ford paid for all of it.
But they did tell me in a formal letter to not fuel with Maverick fuels.
Run chevron or she'll since then, no problems pulling plugs and coll packs.
I have an 08 Colorado with a 3.7 liter 5 cylinder and the only problems I’ve had is spark plugs at 100000 miles and a water pump and thermostat at 110000 miles. Runs and drives great. 21 mpg in a 4wheel drive
If I was you I be installing a bigger radiator after market one .water pump every 40000 miles. I own 2 of them and I like them
I have the 2010 4wd with 120k miles. My only engine related problem was a stuck open thermostat about 1000 miles ago. Besides that, the RPM and temp gauges quit working so i just have a Scangauge II plugged in and mounted below the AC controls so i can keep track of engine temperature. The plastic quick connect fitting on the heater core also broke. I change the engine oil every 5000 miles.
2018 ram 1500 3.0l eco diesel. 90k miles still running like the day it was new. I pull an 8500lb travel trailer with zero issues. 14mpg with a trailer and 28mpg without. Now I did add the green diesel tune. So maybe that helped. But I have no issues.
I have a 20 Ram 1500 with the 3L EcoDiesel. About to roll over 50k miles. Zero issues. Upgraded the air intake and a tuned ECU from Green Diesel. About to install a catch can too. Love the purring of the diesel. ZERO issues
Mine blew at 100k. 30k to replace it. Junk!
I still own a 2015 5.3 with AFM, non turbo 104000 miles on it.
Regular maintenance up to date and never any engine failures to date.😁👍
My 08 Silverado did eat up a cam with 50 k miles . Chevy repaired it free of cost . By hey I’m a Chevy guy. My 2012 has over 100 k miles . The 5.3 only had 2 bad years. I’m on my 5th 5.3 . Only the 08 failed me.
Have a 2016 3.0 ecodiesel with 80,000 miles = zero issues but did a tune no EGR. Change oil, fuel and air filters every 5000 miles, add hotshot friend to fuel every fill up due to the CP4. Average 26 mpg. 2009 F150 with the 5.4, traded it in with 240,000 and had zero issues. Same as the ecodiesel, oil and air every 5,000 miles. Maintenance folks and only tow what the motor is happy with, watch the temps and adjust to keep them cool. If you need to tow faster than the temp allows get a bigger truck.
My 06 , 5.4 timing chain tensioners failed but for most part still running strong at 220k
I deleted AFM on my 2010 Silverado 5.3. I have 242,000 miles on it. It doesn't use any oil between changeds.
The 2.7 ford eco boost had some problems early on. And they were fixed under warranty. After they were fixed, the engine turned out to be reliable. And the later models have an excellent reputation.
The oil issue was probably the plastic oil pan that leaks. Had to replace the oil pan on my 2.7. Never had to add oil just down a little bit by oil change time. The "skid plate" which was actually a maxi pad for the truck absorbed the oil as it leaked. 160,000 miles with regular oil change and running strong. 2015 F 150
@ In addition to the oil pan issue, some early edition 2.7 had turbo seals that leaked oil into the exhaust (mostly the left turbo for some reason.) . Others used some oil when oil leaked past the valve seals. It wasn’t nearly as widespread as the oil pan leak. But those problems were common enough for ford to issue tsb’s to address those issues. But the vast majority had no problem other than the leaking oil pans. And ford finally redesigned the oil pan to make it less prone to leaking. It seems to have fixed the problem. And yes, these engines generally last for MANY miles
Yeah,okay--You must be thinking of Chryslers 2.7L.Both are junk.
@onewhoknowsrevenge6807 well, as a technician at a Ford dealership, I see what fails most often. And other than oil pan gasket leaks on the earlier models before they redesign the gasket, we really seldom sea 2.7 l with significant engine problems. Even the oil pan gasket leak is more of an unpleasant nuisance because it doesn't leak enough to even have to add oil in between changes. I cannot speak for other dealerships. But I can speak for mine. And we don't have many 2.7 problems.
Nissan did not slap a Cummins badge on a Nissan engine that engine was 100% Cummins designed and made. Cummins fucked Nissan. Listen to this man talk about that Toyota if you do maintenance they can go forever duh!
Nissan Fkd Nissan. Haven't built anything but fkn garbage for years!!!
most failures are modified idiots. no cummins that is taken care of dies
Cummins build too many great engines m11 was good kt 17 and kt 19 and 24 were good isx was ok 5.9 6.7 were good pu truck engines but they made a lot of bad engines
Even Yotas are failing nowadays
Bought a Range Technology AFM/DFM disabler for $200 and plugs into my OB2 port on my Tahoe , it works great, and I can feel the difference in power and performance! Plus an increase in gas mileage, especially on the highway! I was Leary of it Initially, but has proven me wrong!!!
That's the first thing i did when i got my 08 Silverado with 70,000 miles and it now has 111,000 miles and doesn't burn a drop of oil between 5000 mile intervals. It still ticks sometimes right after startup but goes away when warmed up. I hope i saved the engine and it can go to 300,000 miles.
@@Sandbermcheck the exhaust manifold gasket,had the same problem, broken stud
Good info and a warning for all 👍😎
I had a 2013 Silverado work truck with the 4.8L V-8, no AFM, DOD, or DFM. Kept it for six years with no issues, gave it to my son and his wife when their new car was destroyed in a collision. I still have a 2002 Silverado with the 5.3 with 250,000 miles.
I had 4 silverados with 4.8’s and put an average of 180,000 on each
Had an '02 for twenty years, 246K. My friend still has it! Best truck I've ever owned!
Those 4.8 are great engines
@@markdanielczyk944
I have the 3.5L Ford EcoBoost in my F-150. 12 years on and 110,000 miles and except for a recall one time it has performed fine. It doesn’t get the gas mileage advertised, but none of the vehicles do.
if you have 110k on it, watch your boost. Thats when turbos fail.
110k in 12 years?? You don't drive much. I put 30k a year on my vehicle
@@rediron44 Not my only vehicle.
I've got a 4.7 liter V8 Dodge Dakota, and it's approaching 150000 miles and it's still going strong, the problem has been the radiator, I'm on the third one 😒. I change oil every 3000 miles, and haven't gotten any trouble from the engine or the transmission. I guess the more you take care of maintenance is the key to longer engine life.
my 2000 Dakota 4.7 is about to tick over 200K. It's been a gem. Runs just like new other than a slight weeping of oil around the valve covers.
We had one of those at my final job. The thing would fly. But it stayed in the shop.
Informative and hilarious all at the same time.
The big lesson here is to never buy a vehicle with a newly-designed engine or transmission. Always wait 3 years. That's how long it can take for major issues to become widely known. For example, I am a long time (30+ years) buyer/owner/driver of Ford pickup trucks. I first became aware of the issue with the Triton 3-valve engine in December 2006. That engine, introduced in model year 2004, had been around since autumn 2003.
Had a 97 E-350 5.4L v8. It blew out 3 spark plugs, at different times. My fix was a Napa repair kit, $50 the plug was longer and had it's own cutting head. It had 400,000 miles on it when the cam chain jumped.
2v are good motors
The 3v are problem
@@mwinterhawkins even my 3v wasnt a problem when I took care of it... did nothing but maintenance to it and sold it at 260,000 still running good. only sold for better fuel economy
I was a machine operator on the Nissan Titan diesel, the light duty diesel department at CEP for Cummins in Columbus IN, and the real reason the engine would fail is because they tried using a cast engine block with tiny graphite pellets mixed in with the steel to try and make it lighter. Well it ended up causing debris to break off into the oil and coolant which ultimately led to catastrophic failures. The thinking was that if they made the engine lighter, then it would long term be easier on the front end suspension. Cummins is on a crash course with "out of business," since they have completely gone away from what made the company great to begin with. Sounds like a common theme in America today. Let's take something great and ruin it.
You should do some never motors and/or transmissions that are junk. Excellent video.
This video was a JOKE......the narrator should go into stand up comedy!
I found him annoying ,not funny
Lmaoo right 😂😂😂😂
Duramax LBZ owner here,
I’ve never been let down or happier !
LMM here350K..water pump alternator2 glow plugs. Runs like a sports car.
All my Ecco boost have been unbelievable great. My 3.5 Raptor in my Navigator never stops pulling and the mileage is amazing. Change oil and you won’t have any of those issues people who don’t have!
I just sold my 2003 6.0 powered F-250. I just couldn't put any more money into it. It ran great when it ran.
I spent several years pulling cabs and heads on those. Problem is even ARP studs and wirelock gaskets couldnt fix them. That engine only had 4 bolts per cylinder, even big gasoline engines had 6. Thats the bare minimum for a diesel. I would also pop the rear coolant plugs from the heads and add a recirc line, and even a fine particulate coolant filter to save the egr and oil coolers clogging. Big bulletproofing mess. If you didnt want to haul 25k, it worked fine.
@kenclark9075 yeah i had a 04 6.0
Money pit trouble.
I have a 2005 F250 with 6.0 200,000 miles bulletproof, I love it

Same here. Got mine a couple years back. They’ve got the power for sure. Mine is great but it’s a little cold blooded. The first 6 miles or so it runs a little rough. Once it warms up it’s a beast. Does yours do that?
@no, it always runs good, so far I had it about 6 years ago in California moved to Arkansas and removed the catalytic converter!
@ Hmm. I’ve got to figure out what’s causing that. I’m in CA but I just bought a place in Kentucky so soon I’ll be free too. 😃
6.4 and 6.0 "Ford Diesels" were actually International Diesels. These led to to Ford moving on and designing their 6.7 because they got sick of the warranty claims.
We had the 6.0 in our Navistar medium - duty trucks. They were crap in those as well. Terrible engine. Sad considering the engines they replaced, the 6.9 and 7.3 were such great engines.
I can agree on some of your choices. I've had great service from 5.4 tritons and the Toyota 3.0s. Next a quart of oil at 3k isntbad at all
This video has more similies than an identical twins convention.
My 2.7l V6 ECO BOOST is 10 years old, going strong, and ZERO problems
🤣 Saves you money on gas by keeping your truck in the shop🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's hilarious!
Well, I bought a 2007 Ford F150 Super Crew Cab, 4x4, new off the lot in 2007. Has the Triton 5.4 engine and I have had zero issue with it. Changed the Oil and Filter regularly. The only thing I had to replace were the 2 front shocks. 18 years old and still rolling down the road.
Had a F250 with a 6.4 diesel. Once you do a full delete, it ran forever. Sold for $13,000 with 487,000 miles on it. Engine wasn’t the problem.
A “Full Delete?”
I had a #4 in my 2007 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. I owned it for 4 years, paid it off and never had a single issue other than the plastic dash crack so I had to dismantle the entire dash to replace it. Other than that it was an amazing truck. Then again I didn't put many miles on it, maybe 50K miles over the 4 years until I traded it for the Cadillac version, the Escalade EXT. I'm still driving it today and it has 115K miles and aside from some normal maintenance repairs it's still looking and running like new. Though I do have a minor oil leak to tackle next. But anyway the "4-8" engine in the Avalanche just felt like a regular GM V8. I didn't notice any fuel savings. But it was a nice running truck.

Have a 2008 6.4 power stroke and haven't had too many issues . Replaced fuel injectors and fuel pump.
I bought a 94 Toyota pickup with the 3vze engine. The problem is the crossover exhaust from the passenger side to the drivers side causing too much heat and blown head gasket. I had the crossover removed and replaced with headers and a dual exhaust. Result is much more power and a very reliable plant.
That’s interesting. I ran 2 of these pickups into the ground. Drove one of them for 20 years.
2015 Silverado 5.3 , No problems yet ,No oil consumption problems either ( 1 QT /6000 miles ) . If you keep the oil changed , you will not have problems .
I've got the 5.4 triton and 5.3 vortex in my driveway. The 5.4 has less than 100k miles. It's a yard ornament/dumpster.
The 5.3 has 155k and still running strong. Not a lick of oil consumption, but I did disable the AFM
5.4L Ford Triton. I've blown up 2 of them. I'm just blown away at the number of things that went wrong with both of those machines.
My uncle went through 3 of them!
As a mechanic of over 40 years I approve of this video. GMs 5.3 AFM engine was as much garbage as their previous attempt with the Cadillac 8-6-4 debacle. Ford had more issues than just the 5.4 Triton, the spark plug blowing out of the cylinders also happened with their V10 paltform
Cruisin down the street in my 6.0, poppin a gasket, needin a tow
What you’re talking about for the 5.4 is the 3 valve version which wasn’t released until later in its career. The 2 valve one (the original) was pretty decent
i own a 5.4L triton in a 2008 f150, i followed what is said to watch out for which is buy the metal sleeved plugs, and watch your oil changes and use a good oil filter. Bought it with 128000km and now a 202,000 km and still going strong, hopefully I do not run into the very expensive cam phaser issue any time soon... But so far so good.
2016 F-150 2.7 eco..11,000 miles..(low)..no issues..full syn oil..I love this engine..are you telling me I should sell it..?
#1 only needed a few aftermarket changes to make them run forever. Change out the oil pump to a melling high volume, and when you did the timing change back to the 2v cast iron tensioners. If you did this early enough in the life of the motor it and do your oil changes on time and it created a good motor. Mine has 210k on her. I thought it needed a timing kit done, but found the cracks in the exhaust manifolds. Not a super fun job, but not the worst.
The 2007-2013 GM 5.3L was a great engine if you disabled or deleted the AFM/DOD. The car wizard even says these are the best used trucks. Definitely shouldn't be on the list as its way better than any current engine in any new truck.
I sold my 3 valve, ford triton 5.4 work truck at 273k after pulling trailers for years, and the guys who bought it are still using it, to the best of my knowledge. Yes, it has spark plug issues, but if you helicoil them, or leave them alone, 300k+ is not unusual!
Yes, I turned wrenches in those days fords 6.0 and 6.4 l and 5.4 and Fords 6.8l V-10 would break valve springs or valve keepers (generic metal )would drop a valve with no warning, I wont work on the diesels junk, junk, junk, spend 5 k engine work and parts still a piece of junk ! I will not own a ford because of my experience in the field. Ford made millions and millions on parts sales for something that should have never left the drawing table. I hate it for those consumers who bought one.
They don't know.
i had two f150 with 5,4 triton. not just the engine are the worst I never imagine. But the frame is a multilayer sheet metal. The humidity keep inside and rust make it like thousand-sheets french pastry.
There no recall for the frame and the engine?
It's a shame, I never get ford again.

What about the ford 3.5 in a 2014 f150 eco boost
I’ve had fantastic luck with the 5.4l ford. Had an f250 with one and the only issue I ever had in 200k miles were the exhaust manifolds. And of course breaking off the spark plugs when trying to change them. Not a hard fix though!
I've got a F150 with the 5.4 Triton. I bought it in 2007. I've never had an issue with it ever and it has over 280,000 miles on her. Spark plugs are a pain in the ass to change, but besides that, no problems whatsoever
I have a 2001 5.4 2 valve I wouldn't trade it for the world E150 Chateau wagon 149,000 Mi and still going strong change that oil boys
Gmc sierra 2500 with the 8.1 496 big block was one of the worst engines ever. Very powerful but all of them eventually throw a rod bearing.
The worst gms were when they took a smallblock 350 and made it a deisel back when they 1st started trying to go deisel. Nothing but issues and never got solved either.
Our 2.7 in our Edge ST is a strong engine. It is transverse mounted. We bought it new and we have a warranty that as long as the oil changes are done by the dealer we have engines for life. If it was that bad I wouldn’t they would be warranted like that. Unlimited miles and they even come here to service it. It is a 2022, but it is really good.
Your warranty will be null and void once it fails...and it WILL fail
@@darrentaylor1478 As long as they do all of my oil changes, I have engines for life.
In my best Beavis and Butt-head at 3:37 head job hahahahahaha
Funny that the gm 5.3 v8 made the best engine list too.
I haven’t watch the other video but probably he’s talking about the older gen 3 LS based engine. The L83 is a LT based which from what I know from 2022, they still have lifter issues
If it’s the right years, they were excellent. The wrong years were crap.
The 5.3l pre AFM was rock solid top 5 best engine GM ever made there is a difference in 5.3l engines. Early models 1997-2006 Great any after 2006 junk!
Even with the AFM/DOD its super easy to disable it and no worries.
Have a 2018 Sierra 5.3 with no issues !
The GM DOD failure is the most blown out of proportion thing ever. To put an LS on the list with these complete turds is a disgrace.
My 5.3 used nearly 3 quarts between oil changes, until I switched from crappy synthetic 0-20 oil to 10-30 dino oil. Now I only lose a 1/2 quart over 4-5k miles. My biggest complaint with my silverado is the weak built chassis. Wheel bearings and brakes are consumables in this truck.
Be careful with thicker conventional oil. It will eventually plug those ports for lifters and give you that famous tick. I had the tick from same reason. Ran seafoam for a thousand miles. I now run one quart of tranny fluid every change. Fixed it right up
AFM sucks mine looks like a diesel when I start it after working it in the least and it's supposed to be one of the fixed ones, my old 5.7 never used any oil to speak of compared to this POS that uses at a minimum of 3 quarts per oil change.
@robertlivingston1634 change to new style valve cover pcv. Start running 1 qt tranny fluid in your oil
Idk.. when you read about these lifters locking up at 15,000 miles its not good press. But thats what warranties are for

All CVT transmissions are bad. They need to stop making them.
The 5.4 2V is a solid engine when given proper oil changes.

I have a 2006 that has 200k still going strong!!
I've got the same miles on a 2003 Dodge 4.7 Magnum. I did have some sludge, but fixed it by going back to the recommended 5W30 from 10W30, changed PVC valve, and dropped the pan to clean it out. No valve issues to date, but it does burn oil since I ran one change of full synthectic.
Those engines showed to be reliable, but one thing that truly killed them was if ever they were overheated. They used lighter tension stainless steel compression rings. Once it was overheated the rings were gone.
I traded my '02 F-150 for a brand new '07 F-150 and it bearly lasted 20K i got rid of it and got an older one with the 4.6 V8 and it's still running great with over 275K on the odometer

They mention the Dodge 4.7. I have one in my Dakota, well over 200k miles and still going strong, and our yard truck was a Chevy with the 5.3, mileage unknown but know it was close to 400k if not more
I don't know if you are talking about the 1st gen 2.7 eco or 2nd. I have the second, and it has been amazing over 160km. Do your maintenance and use good oil. No problems at all. Mine does not use oil at all.

I’ll take you back. Had a 1983 Chevy C10 with a 250 straight six that had an integrated head. What a concept. They all cracked and guess what happened when you’d replace it. Yep…cracked. Said I’d never own another Chevy, but here I am with a 2018 Silverado Duramax. Totally different truck, of course, but now dealing with all of the electrical issues common to modern trucks.
I put over 100k on a five cylinder, pulled trailers from Little Rock to Raleigh a couple of times. The only failure I had was the computer, and that was covered under warranty
I owned a 2017 F150 with the 2.7. 82k when I sold it, never a had a bit of trouble with it.
I have a 4.7L Dodge Dakota with around 120k and still pulls like a sports car. I do have to add a quarter between oil changes, but hammer the crap out of it!
i had two f150 with 5,4 triton. not just the engine are the worst I never imagine. But the frame is a multilayer sheet metal. The humidity keep inside and rust make it like thousand-sheets french pastry.
There no recall for the frame and the engine?
It's a shame, I never get ford again.
5.4 2V fired plugs through the hood. The 3V plugs from 2004 to 2008 broke in half when you tried to remove them. Oil pump was weak, and the chain tensioners were notorious for blowing the seals causing oil starvation on the top half of the engine.
My brother’s 5.4 L has over 230k miles. Not one major problem and still going strong.
I have a 2017 Silverado with the 5.3 v8 with active full management and I have had the same issues as you have listed on this video Chevy hasn't got it right it still sucks I'm at 133k and already have 18 k stuck in tring to keep her on the road
The most common problem I've come across Ford powerstroke V8 was with the high pressure oil pump would you situated at the top back half of the engine right below the turbo, a major headache to replace 😒
I have a 2.7 eco boost 143000 miles runs great doesn’t burn oil and I get 22 to 23 mpg and as high as 28 highway I don’t know what he is talking about
My Barber has a Ford 5.4 with 320k on it, sent him the video so he can get rid of that Lemon!🤣😂🤣😂
2 or 3 valve?
If there was the 10 worst videos this would be one of them.
Manufacturers need to back these failures up instead of screwing unsuspecting consumers!
My gosh !!! 😂😂😂
I didn't go into the video but i read the words as the small video played.
I can't say how many times I was busted up from the metaphors that came across the screen.
Who wrote that script???
They definitely could be in the comedic world!!!
Automotive comedy routine.
How many people have thought of that?
How fresh and new, as far as I know.
A subject that almost every vehicle owner has dealt with.
May have had us tearing our hair out or crying when we were going through it but to have common experiences that someone can help us to laugh about it, now, is a gift waiting to be delivered by anyone with the material that will have us rolling in the aisles!
Able to not just deal with the butterflies but actually loving that feeling which has us thriving on that nervousness that feels so enlivening!
Come on! Stretch out those wings and maybe if success is beyond your dreams then maybe if you happen to notice that someone in the audience is obviously going through the the breakdown experience, in the present , then maybe you could give them some encouragement.
When issue after issue comes up we think it will never end.
I have an f150 2.7 ecoboost and does not burns any oil, with that being said I am not happy with the truck due to turbo failures and master cylinder and booster failures. But motor is solid.
Had a 2003 Ford Excursion 6.0 diesel, changed oil every 3K/4K, always started and ran great, had it for 17 years/ 200K+ miles until frame rusted and traded it in.
200k is fu^k all.Thats is about the deadline for any Ford.
