Bought my 2019 Mustang with the 10 speed (2nd year they came out with the 10speed) . No issues with mine At 50k I had the trans fluid changed. I wanted to stay ahead in the maintenance on the 10 speed. Always believed that if you take care of your vehicle, it will take care of you. And as of typing this, I now have 53k on the odometer, and I’m still getting between 45-49mpg on the highway on pump ‘93. Gonna change the spark plugs next weekend so I believe I will probably get back to my 50 mpg on the highway. Moral of this, is that if you take care of your vehicle and don’t beat on them they will last a long time. I would know, my other car is a ‘12 Honda accord (bought brand new in ‘12) and in the 114,000 I had on it (4years ago) the only thing I had to change (besides tires and brakes) because it started out small and I caught it early was a small coolant leak from the bottom rad hose. I replaced them both (upper and lower + the thermostat). Still have the car till this day, and still drives like a dream.✌🏼

The all black, 1991 Mustang GT I had from new, a 5.0L V8, 5sp. manual, got 25.4 mpg on the highway going 70 mph with the A/C on in 90°F weather. I had frost forming on the inside of the windshield. 😂 IIRC, it had 2.73 gears in the limited slip differential.

@kennetho5393 Год назад

I believe it. I've had two 4.6 Mustangs 5 speed manuals that could easily get 28 mpg at 75 mph in most conditions and I always run the a/c or heat. My current 5.0 DOHC can only get about 26 but that's cause the 3.73s kill fuel economy above 70, which I rarely do below 75 I have seen 28 at 70 though.

I have the exact same generation Explorer but with the V8. Mine had the differential and transfer case replaced before I bought it and have had no problems. I also don't use 4wd and I average 17mpg because I drive carefully.

@chuckblythe 11 месяцев назад

Had an X5 after owning a 740iL and a 528. Can verify that the X5 is a terribly expensive vehicle as it ages. Mine had the big V8, which had a big $750 gasket that had to get replaced at 100k miles... waited as long as I could but it was losing a quart of oil every couple weeks (!!). The 740iL wasn't much better, the serpentine belt blew under the hood and tore apart everything, plus it had a water-cooled alternator, because why not mix water and electricity. Find a manual 3-series without AC and there's your ultimate driving machine.

I had a 02 and 05 one reg the other Eddie Bauer edition and both transmissions went flaky at 120k The 02 was a manual switch to turn on/off 4\4 but just Flat Stopped No warning The 05 had buttons/auto 4/4 and that one kept turning 4/4 on/off on/off By itself in any weather! But still drove it 120k to 170k like that Before putting in new rear leaf springs and reman trans and sold it. Was told the shift solenoids are deep inside the trans and if I had just managed to keep on top of my trans fluid drain/fill I wouldn’t have the slippage as early as I did

@NATEG01 Год назад

Nissan Altimas are good cars if you take care of them. My parents have one with over 200k miles and only had to do basic maintenance - oil changes, tires, and brakes. Lexus RX is the biggest money pit. I owned one for only 6 months and I spent more money fixing it than all my other vehicles I ever owned combined. It spent more time in the shop than me driving it, I only put 2k miles on it over 6 months. And it still had nothing but problems, I practically had to give it away just to get rid of it.

I owned a 2003 Ford Explorer 4 wheel drive for nearly 13 years. It was the best and most realiable vehicle I ever owned. Never had a single engine problem, only replaced a window regulator and lock acuator. Replaced the shocks around 130k miles. When I sold it a few years ago, it was still running great, but did have some rust underneath and peeling paint at top. Most reliable vehicle out of last 6 vehicles I owned and made me a loyal Ford customer. The new Ford Explorers feel like a soccer mom SUV and didn't care much for them, so I got a F150 truck which I love!

@matthewjbauer1990 Год назад

I actually bought a new Nissan Kicks that has a JATCO transmissions. My dad and I have been saying for years to avoid Nissan due to that, but I really had no choice. I have a coworker that had an early 2010s Altima where the transmission went out after and I advised him to get the transmission serviced when he started having slippage issues and I didn't. My coworker ended up totaling the Altima because it needed too much work and the transmission put him over budget to fix that car. I should have taken my own warnings about Nissan but... It was either that or buy a Kia/Hyundai that is easily stolen (more expensive too), or spend well over my budget, or get a Nissan Sentra or Kicks. I was able to get a good price on the Kicks. The F&I guy got me a free all inclusive oil change/maintenance plan (3 scheduled services at the recommended mileage over 3 years). I feel slightly better with the dealer looking after my car that it has the potential to last me up to 10 years/100k miles.

Hello Scotty K. I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra with 4.0L V6 G.R.F.E . I'm trying to replace the original thermostat on it. I have not taken the old one off yet, because I forgot to purchase a gasket along with it online. I have noticed the NEW one has a rubber ring around the thermostat . My question is , is that rubber ring the actual gasket for that thermostat ? I have also looked online for that particular type ,all I see is the round rubber ring. Is that the gasket?

@danielbruneau2222 Год назад

The rubber ring is the gasket.

@@danielbruneau2222 Thanks D.B. I just needed some verification. All my other vehicles have thermostats that required a separate gasket for installation. The Tundra apparently has it built in the housing. Appreciate your response!!

My moms got one of that generation of explorer, 2wd v6 eddie bauer edition . 190k miles and still going

They are decent vehicles. Too bad that Ford didn't get the bugs worked out of the Explorer.

There’s a reason why you don’t see many older BMW and Mercedes cars on the road. They are too expensive too maintain and unreliable. I know someone who recently bought a 2001 Toyota Corolla as a second beater car. It’s in perfect condition. Everything works from the AC/ heater, radio, no engine or warning lights. Car runs smooth and gets good gas mileage for having almost 200,000 miles. He bought it for $1,800 and only replaced a rear taillight bulb for $5.

Agree on not getting AWD - may as well spring for 4wd, it's more useful. As for Explorers, the 2nd gen lasts really long! Just change that oil, use synthetic. My 98 has 176K and purring like a kitten. I wouldn't buy an Explorer past say, 2010. Older ones more reliable.

Scotty had way too much fun with that BMW. 🤣🤣 Bring my wallet. Big money wasted. In my opinion, it's not the complexity that is the problem even though that's what the proud engineers would want us to think, it's the poor quality of materials that is the problem. Plastics, gaskets, control modules last about like an 80's model GM.

So what mod would keep the plastic from cracking? My Toyota had cracked nylon in the cooling system 22 years after we got it. This should not happen to a new vehicle.

Plastic rots.

Scotty Euro cars are much easier to work on now days because parts are easier to get knowledge is all over the internet. I think you'd be surprised of how different it is today compared to the 80s & 90s. Euro cars like all cars have there strengths & weaknesses but I wouldn't say a VW, BMW, AUDI are cars to avoid in America like they used to be. Now I don't own a BMW SUV but if I found one with a naturally aspirated motor thats not direct injection with out a turbo thats been relatively well maintained I would buy it. I do admit that some mechanics just assume since you drive a BMW your rich & they may try to stick it to you but working on these cars isn't much different & if your a good mechanic your a good mechanic. I've seen some mechanics claim they wont touch European Cars but when they are tasked & give in they realize they are that hard to work on. You can get the tools these things require for the same price as American Standard.

They used to call it the Ford Exploder for a reason.

When in court for the roll over lawsuits, Firestone admitted they had a bad batch of rubber go out and that is why the tires blew but it didn't explain the entire roll over cause, it was also proven that a design flaw in the suspension of the old Explorers contributed to the other half of the cause but, Ford was denying it and blaming Firestone entirely. Shows how wonderful Ford's history of lie and deny makes them look doesn't it?
