Hey y'all I'm not a Chevy man but I need a truck bad I found a 98 Chevy 1500 5.7 liter new transmission a rebuilt engine 3000$and I'm thinking of getting it can anyone tell me if I'm making a good purchase or not please and thank you
@@bulldogpropaganda5621 Yeah those years were pretty rough. Thats why I have no brand loyalty. Now I have a 2017 5.0 f150 and bc the powertrain was the most solid at the time of purchase. Turns out to be a great combo with the 6 speed and ive put 60k on it with 0 issues. Prob do 200k all said and done
My 94 f150 with the straight 6 300 attached to a 5 speed manual transmission was sold in 2003 with 383,000 miles on it. I still see it every once in a while still on the road.
It was 3 yrs ago, $15,000 from a dealer. With roughly 78,000 miles. I immediately bought a matching ARE bed cap for it with lift open side windows, $3,800. And that took 6-8 months to come in.
I have an 08 with 295000 miles, I stopped listening after he said ford f150, had 4 of em and every single one of em left me stranded, if this guy really knew what he was talking about he wouldn't of brought up a ford lmfao
I have titan with 190k miles and tow a trailer every month. Only problem so far is one of the reverse light bulbs went out around 170k miles. Super reliable
I had a gmc 1999 with the 5.3 and it had 450,000 before motor went out and I had a titan with 250,000 miles ran like a top only problem i had was that black electric box with is only 400 bucks but they had a wait on it and didn't know when I get cause was on back order titain good truck part aren't as easy to like chevy and ford and Toyota
My 98 Ford F-150 V8 stopped tracking miles at 180k miles roughly 9 years ago. Thing still runs like a champ and loves to cruise around 80. Absolutely love it
100% on the mark as usual Scotty. My '97 Sierra 1500 had over 500k km on the original engine and transmission. Was going strong when I sold it. My '06 F150 is going strong at 430k km
I got an 05 Silverado with 300.000 miles, I love Scotty but when it comes to Chevys I honestly don’t believe a damn thing he says especially when he praises fords cuz I had one and it didn’t even last to 100,000
I have a 1994 Chevy Cheyenne pick up truck. 2 Wheel Dr. automatic transmission long bed 4.3 L V6 motor. Still running like a champ because I maintain it really good.
My speculation is he normally advises people getting vehicles checked out before purchase and you can hear a 3V which was abused when you turn it on. Mine owned since 20k miles and oil changes with synthetic routinely is quiet while compared to one not maintained. I've known many people with 3V and while running next to mine and I can hear them clicking. All have blown.
The 5.4 was gas v8 that has known issues, the 4.6 v8 has been known to get up to 1 million miles, my 04 4.6 has almost 500,000 original miles, orginal motor and transmission.

Anyone reading this thinking about an older Ford V8 I can confirm; run, don’t walk, away from a 5.4 any year any valve configuration. If you can find a 4.6 with a 5 speed not rusted out, this is your truck.

No way that you still have the original front brakes at 219k miles. Do you coast to a complete stop from 1/2 mile away or jump out and stop it from rolling so you keep having to buy new sneakers? 😂 Also, you might still have the factory shocks, but they’re surely working out by now and you’d have a better ride with replacements.

My 1994 Chevy K1500 5.7 extended cab 4x4 has 300,000 miles and still running strong.

The only major repair I've done was a tranny rebuild at 250,000. And mine is also the heavy half with the semi-floating (3/4-ton) 6-lug 14-Bolt rear axle.
Eco boost engines have tons of examples of extremely high mileage models, they’re proven to be quite reliable, certainly much longer than the average person even keeps a vehicle
Scotty I have 2 Chevy Silverados 1992 model and have 250,000 moles and still running. Never done anytime engine but change oil and regular maintenance. Thsnks
There’s a UA-cam video of the top largest Mechanic Shops in America, all were asked which truck brand breaks down the most often. They all said Ford, then GM, Then Ram.
The new trucks are to sell to fleets and suckers. Plus, they are so unnecessarily tall to appeal to the "rugged" market, especially the new frontier. Went from a commercial truck to an outdoorsman's accessory. The run of the OBS Chevy '87 to '02 was peak alongside Ford's attempts to overtake it, though I wouldn't be caught dead driving a Ford unless it was a gift, can't complain about free. Nissan, Toyota were making some pretty bulletproof trucks also but hadn't quite figured out the American truck buyer yet.
I got a 03 4.7 220k now no lights or mechanical issues in so long been in our family 10 years maybe more💪 my dad was the second owner we think first owner thought it was a race v8, but it's a truck. It got rebuilt after the first guy since me and my dad had it tho for our construction work she's been flawless cus we don't slam the redline let her build up to her own speed she's only had a rear wheel abs sensor go out took 5 min💯 older trucks so much better you can work on them yourself. If their maintained early on too they stay reliable like ours the tranny and belly is rust free damn near he took care of it runs smooth only thing is she's been ticking before and after the rebuild but never has thrown a code or left us stranded with that tick just keeps ticking away been like 130k since it was rebuilt running strong💪
My dad has 2 Dodges and my Uncle has 1, no transmission issues on all 3. In fact my Uncle is fixing the frame on his 96 Ram that he uses to tow his boat because his new Ford isn't able handle it.
I drove a 96’ Silverado from SoCal to Portland Oregon fully loaded towing a trailer with a blown head gasket. Pulled like a champ with over 200k! Only blew the head gasket because my wife drove it with a leaking radiator that overheated the engine.
@@draddictive7668 The mileage isn’t bad for the year ! If it has had good maintenance during its life it should serve you well ! The price is high for the year and I assume it’s a private seller !
my 95 k1500 runs solid my dads 2016 f150 has had triple the problems with half the miles and has been nothing but trouble from tierods literally breaking off multiple check engine lights and somehow more electrical issues
Chevrolet trucks are hands down the most reliable pickups. The older 350 and 305s were perfect especially when they came out with the 5.7 vortec. The newer LS based 4.8 5.3 and 6.0 are the best engines ever out in a truck. I’ve seen 4.8s and 6.0s with over 650000kms that still run like new. My last truck was a 2000 Silverado with a built 5.3 and it had 590000kms before it I swamped it mudding and it threw a rod. (Hydro locked) Now I drive an 07 classic 3500 with a 6.0 put over 100000k on the truck with zero issues other that fuel costs.
As long as you keep up with the maintenance and don’t drive it like you stole it any car should hold up for a long long time. I bet alot of the ”unreliable” cars fall apart quickly because the people that usually but those kinds of cars are sloppy with the maintenance and drive them hard all the time. Now that’s not to say that there are genuinly badly built cars out there, because there are.

There seems to be a lot of older trucks still in use in my area. Most are work trucks, so that should tell you something about how they hold up. The new ones are cheap built crap.
Got a 95 1500 with 246k miles looking mint with a 350tbi and a rebuilt transmission.. Sold my '86 Chevy Silverado dually C30 Scottsdale Limited Edition full Quad Cab for this... I needed a smaller truck now that I don't haul anything do to a car crash injury that a reckless driver left me with.
@yellowjacket - Yeah. 2000 Expedition. 5.4 Triton. 375k. Mobil 1 synthetic always. Motorcraft plugs every 90k. Normal wear and tare maintenance. Purrs nice, quiet and smooth. Smogs with flying colors. Still 18 mpg on the highway. Black exterior and grey interior upholstery holding up amazing. I wish it was 4WD, but it’s been 👍🏼 great.
The biggest factor if you live in a real winter state, not some mamby pamby winter state like RI, is rust. Lot of those old trucks are completely rusted out in the upper midwest.
Thanks Scottie - I bought a 2014 Ford F-150 with the Ecoboost and it came Unglued at Gulph's Mills, Tenn. last week with 95k on the Engine (Timing Chain was Stretched)? Now at a Ford Dealership getting Repaired!
Yeah because delusional fools have been suckered into thinking it's worth it because they're supposedly million mile trucks. They will have a reality call when they suddenly have to fix some stuff in those engines. Particularly the 2GR and 3UR.
My 2002 f150 5.4l suoercrew4x4 has 342k and is still going strong only major work done to it is replacing the timing chains which actually is part of the required maintenance.aside from cpl bad coil packs and an alternator it's been an awesome daily driver truck. I'm a construction contractor and I drive all over south Texas .
Had a customer with a blue 2wd 99 Sierra with a 5.3 that had 1,106,000 miles and it was still going, ran fine, everything worked fine. Last time I seen him I replaced the brake lines and the ABS pump assembly... and yes hes fine, ive seen him driving around, just hasn't had any problems.... he rarely changes his oil too which is very suprising
I just inherited my dad’s ‘06 F150 Triton XLT with 280,000 miles on it. We drove it from TX to CA with no issues. It can use a few fixes, but nothing major. I hope to keep it long enough for my son to drive his Paw Paw’s truck!

Pretty much Chevy's never been the same since '08. Quality went out the window. But the older Chevy's, still great.
nearly have 190k miles on my eco boost 3.5 2012y still running great
I'm not so lucky, '14 with 271,000 miles and replaced 3 turbos in 5 years. Everything else has been great, though.
Jesus....three turbos? Did you replace them with OEM turbos?@@trap7196
My stepdad had an 88 Chevy C2500 Long Bed with the 350. He sold it a couple years ago with around a million miles still running like clockwork.
Eco boost engines have tons of examples of extremely high mileage models, they’re proven to be quite reliable, certainly much longer than the average person even keeps a vehicle
My 2015 2.7 l eco boost has 431,000 and going strong

There’s a UA-cam video of the top largest Mechanic Shops in America, all were asked which truck brand breaks down the most often. They all said Ford, then GM, Then Ram.
The new trucks are to sell to fleets and suckers. Plus, they are so unnecessarily tall to appeal to the "rugged" market, especially the new frontier. Went from a commercial truck to an outdoorsman's accessory.
The run of the OBS Chevy '87 to '02 was peak alongside Ford's attempts to overtake it, though I wouldn't be caught dead driving a Ford unless it was a gift, can't complain about free. Nissan, Toyota were making some pretty bulletproof trucks also but hadn't quite figured out the American truck buyer yet.
I got my 02’ Dodge Ram with 140,899 miles still runs awesome 5.9 liter v8 is the reason why it still running to this day 😊😊
The 5.9 is a great engine, wish dodge would bring them back.
@@DimeBagJED yea bro I’m am bless to have a older ram with a strong engine
I got a 03 4.7 220k now no lights or mechanical issues in so long been in our family 10 years maybe more💪 my dad was the second owner we think first owner thought it was a race v8, but it's a truck. It got rebuilt after the first guy since me and my dad had it tho for our construction work she's been flawless cus we don't slam the redline let her build up to her own speed she's only had a rear wheel abs sensor go out took 5 min💯 older trucks so much better you can work on them yourself. If their maintained early on too they stay reliable like ours the tranny and belly is rust free damn near he took care of it runs smooth only thing is she's been ticking before and after the rebuild but never has thrown a code or left us stranded with that tick just keeps ticking away been like 130k since it was rebuilt running strong💪
@@squirttv69 glad hear dude those rams are strong I still have mine now it’s at 142,280 miles
I have a ‘95 GMC Yukon (no, it’s not my daily driver) that has 286k miles on it and still starts easy and runs smoothly.
owned both FJ and Tacoma -never had problems.
Bought a 5th owner 99 Silverado as my first truck. It was spray painted matte black, fuel lines rusting out. Engine worked every time
Notice how he never mentioned the Dodge 😂
Honestly if you get a manual trans dodge, they are perfectly fine. Just best to avoid the v6s and the 4.7 v8
Yup he dodged the dodge 😂
5.7 hemi all the way. I have an 07 with 200k 6in lift on 37s. Rides like a mule but runs like a top.
My dad has 2 Dodges and my Uncle has 1, no transmission issues on all 3. In fact my Uncle is fixing the frame on his 96 Ram that he uses to tow his boat because his new Ford isn't able handle it.
@@user-yx6iu9gx4p the only thing you can’t handle is facts. Take care of your Ridgeline
I drove a 96’ Silverado from SoCal to Portland Oregon fully loaded towing a trailer with a blown head gasket. Pulled like a champ with over 200k! Only blew the head gasket because my wife drove it with a leaking radiator that overheated the engine.
2000 Chevy 5.3 v8 with 293k... my work/daily driver.
That lifted tundra is a thing of beauty
2001 Ford F-150 with the 4.2 v6.. runs like a top. No issues
My 1990 GMC 2500 runs like a clock !
It’s never left me walking or calling for help!
To me that says a lot !
You think it’s worth buying a 2008 gmc sierra with 150k miles for 12k?

1985 ford f150 with 250000 miles and still runs beautifully
So true I have 2006 Toyota Sequoia 192k running like brand new 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I had a 2002 Tundra with 187,000 miles . Ran as new , but the frame was gone .
Sequoias go like diesels miles! Exstremly reliable!
my 95 k1500 runs solid my dads 2016 f150 has had triple the problems with half the miles and has been nothing but trouble from tierods literally breaking off multiple check engine lights and somehow more electrical issues
Gas mileage for tundra is 10 mpg highway 8 city. Good luck out there
But with a million miles on the odometer.
Costs about an extra $6-7k in gas for every 100k miles.
@@highplainsdrifter9849 nope that ONE with a million mi on it is in the scrap yard
Chevrolet trucks are hands down the most reliable pickups. The older 350 and 305s were perfect especially when they came out with the 5.7 vortec. The newer LS based 4.8 5.3 and 6.0 are the best engines ever out in a truck.
I’ve seen 4.8s and 6.0s with over 650000kms that still run like new.
My last truck was a 2000 Silverado with a built 5.3 and it had 590000kms before it I swamped it mudding and it threw a rod. (Hydro locked)
Now I drive an 07 classic 3500 with a 6.0 put over 100000k on the truck with zero issues other that fuel costs.
Early 2000s and previous silverados are amazing trucks will get you anywhere you need with everything you need
2013 F150 5.0 Coyote currently at 125xxx hope it lasts.
I have a 2012 with 217k.. 👍
It won't, it's a ford
Negative Nancy lol
04 f150 4.6 v8 almost at 500,000 original miles, original motor and transmission
As long as you keep up with the maintenance and don’t drive it like you stole it any car should hold up for a long long time. I bet alot of the ”unreliable” cars fall apart quickly because the people that usually but those kinds of cars are sloppy with the maintenance and drive them hard all the time. Now that’s not to say that there are genuinly badly built cars out there, because there are.
I have a 11’ 4.8 Silverado with over 405k miles original motor and transmission was replaced last year still running strong 💪🏻 😊
Keep on truckin` Scotty. Just keeep on truckin` my friend. 😲😲😲
I drive a 93 Chevy 1500 with 180,000 still running strong.
And a 91 chevy s10 2.5, 4 cyl with 140,000 miles still got alot more to go.
😎 or a Honda Ridgeline, for small chores and running around
That was my sister's dream truck. Wish she got the chance to own one.
Bingo on the older chevies 07 or older iv seen them with 400k and still going the 2500 with the 6.0 is a good choice too
That thumbnail... the way to colors meld between his pants and the wheel and the way the shapes line up make it look like Scotty's got on Amelia Earhart pants. :D
Why would number 4 be surprising? My dad owns a 2004 Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 Vortec with over 220,000 miles
The recession GM trucks (2007-2013) are absolute tanks too. Mine was pushing 300k and still running fine.
He could be an orchestra director with how he flails his arms around
I heard that for Chevy , the 4.3 v6 vortec from 2014 on is the only decent modern engine that'll last a decent amount of time without issue
Um how about the nissan frontier? Love the little beast.
Saw a Frontier on UA-cam that had over a million miles. Nissan gave him a brand new one.
Scotty has praised the old ones in his videos!
That little ah thing isn't a truck to small
@@3L5Ancho Too small for some people, people buy vehicles based on what's practical for them. A lot of people don't need a full size truck, that's been a popular truck for over a decade for a reason.
@@boreed5734
Nissan gave him a new Frontier, which probably won’t last a million miles. 😂
My 2003 Chevy 1500 has 200k miles and runs like a champ. Most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Needs all new suspension though.
Scotty’s wrong about the new eco boosts. Change the oil and they are bullet proof. Especially the 2.7
A guy I know has a 04 Chevy 1500 n it has 600,000 miles on it. I have a 05 gmc sierra 1500 with 300,000 miles n still runs great

@@greatodinsraven Thats the one ford engine i love sourly for the fact they last forever. ive seen some with 1,250,000 on them they were on there last legs but still nuts
There seems to be a lot of older trucks still in use in my area. Most are work trucks, so that should tell you something about how they hold up. The new ones are cheap built crap.
Got a 95 1500 with 246k miles looking mint with a 350tbi and a rebuilt transmission..
Sold my '86 Chevy Silverado dually C30 Scottsdale Limited Edition full Quad Cab for this... I needed a smaller truck now that I don't haul anything do to a car crash injury that a reckless driver left me with.
My 2003 F-150 supercrew with the 4.6 Triton V8 has 299,457 miles and still runs great.
@yellowjacket - Yeah. 2000 Expedition. 5.4 Triton. 375k. Mobil 1 synthetic always. Motorcraft plugs every 90k. Normal wear and tare maintenance. Purrs nice, quiet and smooth. Smogs with flying colors. Still 18 mpg on the highway. Black exterior and grey interior upholstery holding up amazing. I wish it was 4WD, but it’s been 👍🏼 great.
I have a 1996 7.4 gen 6 vortec with over 300,000 miles and still going strong after a cam change. The roller on the lifter took out the cam lobe.
The older Rangers are indestructible. Mine's going on 300k thanks to Amzoil.
I was about to say.
my dads got 350K on the odo. i used to drive it myself. that thing was the best
Came here to say this. My 97 has 200,000 miles still runs like a charm.
It seems like the 90s was mostly the last era before disposable vehicles
2 first gen Tacomas here. 260k and 278k both run like new!
Dodge guys are watching this and shaking their heads 😅
The biggest factor if you live in a real winter state, not some mamby pamby winter state like RI, is rust. Lot of those old trucks are completely rusted out in the upper midwest.
Any Chevy with a vortec engine are bullet proof. Most of them make it 500,000km +
I have a 98 Cheyenne with 4.3 Vortec. 351480.7 miles. Original water pump just gave out. I'm getting it fixed!
Those Chevys might run like clocks but their frames are mostly rotted. My 01 F250 with a 7.3 turbo diesel is barely broke in with 200k on the clock.
There is a god answering my prayers lol. Just today I was deciding on a truck to buy and tundra was what I was leaning towards
What year ?
Thanks Scottie - I bought a 2014 Ford F-150 with the Ecoboost and it came Unglued at Gulph's Mills, Tenn. last week with 95k on the Engine (Timing Chain was Stretched)? Now at a Ford Dealership getting Repaired!
My F150 with original Ecoboost engine in it is @ 425K miles at the moment, ZERO ISSUES 🤠
My 99 Yukon has 232k miles on it and still inadvertently spins tires at stop signs. The 350 Vortec's are just beautiful engines.
Yeah, 190k miles and yall still want $18k for em.
Yeah because delusional fools have been suckered into thinking it's worth it because they're supposedly million mile trucks. They will have a reality call when they suddenly have to fix some stuff in those engines. Particularly the 2GR and 3UR.
I have a 2019 tacoma with 238,000 miles still running strong
My pops dodge 2500 has bout 500k and she’s still good as new
thats a diesel though
My 2002 f150 5.4l suoercrew4x4 has 342k and is still going strong only major work done to it is replacing the timing chains which actually is part of the required maintenance.aside from cpl bad coil packs and an alternator it's been an awesome daily driver truck. I'm a construction contractor and I drive all over south Texas .
I'm beating up my classic 2000 silverado everyday with no issues. Original motor and trans.
As a single mother you have no idea how much I appreciate your videos and information thank you sir!

They are solid but ugly looking at the same time
Had a customer with a blue 2wd 99 Sierra with a 5.3 that had 1,106,000 miles and it was still going, ran fine, everything worked fine. Last time I seen him I replaced the brake lines and the ABS pump assembly... and yes hes fine, ive seen him driving around, just hasn't had any problems.... he rarely changes his oil too which is very suprising

I just inherited my dad’s ‘06 F150 Triton XLT with 280,000 miles on it. We drove it from TX to CA with no issues. It can use a few fixes, but nothing major. I hope to keep it long enough for my son to drive his Paw Paw’s truck!
