Dates in the 7.3L are totally inaccurate. The 7.3L was out by 2003, but you stated it started in 2003. Ford started the powerstroke in '95, redefined it in 99, and it was replaced for 6.0L mid 2003
Let me see if I got this. This is supposed to be the most durable engines ever put in a truck and the 5.9L Cummins Diesel is not on the list---REALLY???????
The Chrysler 225 Slant Six was a fantastic reliable engine! The only negative was most people did not realize it had solid lifters that needed to be adjusted. When this maintenance was not done they would burn the exhaust valves and require a valve job!
In 1994 I thought I needed a larger truck and I traded my beloved, super-reliable 1985 Toyota 22R 5-speed for a hunk of garbage 1988 Chevy Silverado with GM's horrible configuration of their 305. In nine years the Toyota only needed an alternator. Two years with the Chevy: water pump, oil pump, fuel pump (left me stranded on I-40), multiple alternators, timing adjustments due to rattling rocker arms under acceleration, throttle body gasket, a cracked heater coil flooded the passenger floor board with anti-freeze, and several electrical issues.
You forgot the Toyota 2F (Inline 6), dude! 1975-1987 Landcruisers. Easy 300k miles. Common to 500k & beyond. Mine has 257k and runs as smooth as the day it rolled of the factory line. Has never left me stranded in 20yrs. The "F", introduced in 1953, was nearly as dependable.
You’re wrong about the Duramax. I just retired as a GM tech for over 30 years in the Duramax is the worst engine made the little pen in the end of the crankshaft causes them to break the timing and the firing order is all messed up. That is the worst engine General Motors makes and they know it and won’t do anything about it so no, you’re wrong on the Duramax the rest of it you’re good at at.
Cummins 5.9 12 valve top performer when comes to milage and reliability ford 300 ci 6 are also one of the best for low maintanance/ small block chevy not far behind but can burn oil(valve seals)
I've owned multiple engines on this list. The 302W, the 4.6v8, the 3800, and thw B18. Theu were all incredible engines. The only thing i would've added to this list is the coyote 5.0. they all took me over 200k miles with minimal issues. The only one that hasnt yet is the B18 because i just got it
My '07 Sierra with the 327(5.3) I bought new is running strong at 199,656 miles but I was gonna' replace it with new. It's showing it's rust, but maybe I'll just throw some fenders on it and paint it up, the leather interior is in good shape. They want $63,000 for the brand new version of it...
Why is there no mention of the 426 Superstock that was introduced in 1963 Dodge cars and was discontinued after 1964? The most powerful version of that engine was rated at 425 BHP and then it was realized that the average guy who bought a car like that had a hard time driving it on the street. After that, the engine was tamed down for the average buyer, and the more potent version was assigned for racing.
My how things change over time, in the sixties there were 5.4 litre engines making 180 horsepower..... in the late 1990's Volkswagen (Audi) built a 1781 cc engine that makes 180 hp ! Just imagine where we'd be if dual overhead cams. variable valve timing and turbo chargers had been applied to the old V8's 'back in the day' !
Well you had me until the Toyota v6 then I thought you was regaining until you started talking about the 7.3L. Did you do any research at all? No, because if you did then you’d realize that the 7.3 turbo was made from 94 1/2-2003 1/2. Also the injectors are a unit injector, it’s a HUI injector which stands for HYDRAULIC UNIT INJECTION. It does this by high pressure engine being supplied by a rail machined into the head & an electronic solenoid on top on the injector controls when that oil pressure is used to open the injector. Also the 5.9L 12v Cummins is way more reliable than the 6.7L Cummins.
Ford actually had two 7.3L Diesel engines in their trucks. There was the 7.3L IDI from 1988-1993 and the 7.3L Power Stroke was introduced in 1994 and both were made by International Navistar. The 6.7 Power Stroke was the first to be both designed and manufactured by Ford in 2011
My 96 Silverado 5.7 only has 88000 original but now it has a crank/no start, no spark.? Changed the Distributor, Timing chain, Water pump, Gas tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, crank sensor, coolant temp sensors, all 4 02 sensors.
Tod’s you really have to consider the transmission to they could cost as much or more as the engine. I really don’t care for anything newer than a 2005
The first 22r engine 1982 was the real deal, had dual chain, metal/composite lined chsin guides, heavy duty chain tensioners, lasted forever, after 83 i dont know why toyota went to a single chain and plastic timming chain guides which baked and fragmented into pieces and the tc tensioner was plastic, chain would eat it up
This guy has no clue what the fuck he is talking about literally half of the engines he listed are known for being absolute garbage like the ej205 for example that you just need to keep replacing head gaskets to keep it running because you know replacing head gaskets is cheap and considered routine maintenance and lets not get started on the ecotec.... ROFL
