Scotty I have a 1994 dodge cumins diesel 2500 series, 4x4. I bought it for $900.00 13years ago. It had a failed transmission which I had rebuilt. Over the last 13 years I have maintained it myself as I am a 39 year mechanic. I cost averaged that Maintenance minus oil changes and fuel. It turns out that I've spent about $815.00 per year Which is $67.91 a month. I live in Calgary Canada where we get chinooks, so freeze / thaw all winter with tons of road salt. So 25% of that cost is annual rust repair Which I also do. I'm 64 years old now and I've always owned a truck, this dodge has been by far the best truck I've ever owned. I recently drove it on a 650 km trip and did so on 60 litres of diesel. Not bad for a 30 year old 6000 lb truck.

My dad had a 1978 F150, pulled a 1978 boat behind it to every body of water in the South. Camping and water skiing rverywhere. He rebuilt and replaced every part of that truck I font know how many times--except the frame. I know that because we would wash it and have to avoid the rusted sharp spots underneath. That truck always smelled like the ocean and had enough sand in it to be a beach. I miss that truck, that boat, most of all my dad.

I picked up 1998 Frontier with a manual transmission and it has been a nice rig. Has three minor dents on the drivers side, but on the whole straight. After I bought it I did some repairs. Doing my own work makes it affordable. Things have come up from time to time, but it's to be expected with a vehicle that old. I picked it up after I saw your video about poor man's trucks. Thanks for your recommendation.

@nuancolar7304 23 дня назад

The Frontier is about to gain in popularity because drivers are going to want naturally aspirated V6s instead of those overworked turbocharged 4 cylinders that Toyota is putting in the Tacoma now. Those turbos are much more complicated, more to go wrong, and they generate more heat and pressure (more engine wear). Once the numbers start coming in on all that, consumers will get wise about turbos.

Haha. Currently fixing up my 88 F150. Got new bumpers coming in, painted the outside 1970 Grabber Blue like on a Boss 302. Just put 15x10 Cragars on it, with 275/60R15s. Ive already replaced the lights, grill, all the other chrome trim, and even put hood pins with the cables on it. Gonna be doing the interior with an wood steering wheel, and other wood trim and doing the seats to match. And its a 4.9 Straight six with 5 speed, and only 46k miles. GREAT truck. You wouldnt think that color and wheel combo would look good on a 80s F150, but it is awesome. Ive gotten many compliments on it since putting those wheels on. Cant wait till the new chrome bumpers get here, supposed to be in this week. Ill have about 7k in mine when its done. Only bad thing is, for a six cylinder, it gets bad gas mileage.

In 2003 I bought a '96 f150 shortbox 2 wd with an inline 6 and a 5 speed. Can't remember what the mileage was, but it wasn't high. NO frills: wind up windows, no a/c, no carpets, bench seat for 8,000.00 cdn. Great little truck. I drove it for about 8 years and sold it for 3,000. It still looked pretty good. I saw it about a year later at a local mall, and it looked pretty sad. I had 2 '79 f150's before that (302 ci) and they were good buys too. First one got wrecked, but I got 800.00 for it (I paid 350.00) and got to keep the car for parts. I stripped it down and bought the next '79 which was a much cleaner truck. I didn't have to buy many parts after that. I had purchased he wrecked one from a scrap dealer. The mileage was low and it ran well, but the body and interior were horrendous. You could actually see the road thru the floor boards on the driver's side. Good times.

Still get a lot of thumbs up on the road and almost always get in conversations about it when out and about. I recently saw a 1995 extended cab F150 with 45k original mi. for sale asking $25k!

@gabrielfraser2109 Месяц назад

That Nissan Frontier appears to be basically the same thing as the Nissan NP300 we got in South Africa, they kept making them pretty much the same up until a year or two ago, my mom got a 2018 model for about 18K USD. The design is decades old, they just added ABS and airbags over time, besides that they're pretty simple and solid. An older model that I worked on had an issue where it kept slicing through water reservoirs - part of the reservoir was secured inside a hole in the sheet metal, with a rubber bushing to prevent abrasion, but if that rubber cracks and falls out, the metal gradually saws that part of the reservoir off, it's at the bottom, so it immediately loses all the fluid.

@Constellasian Месяц назад

I knew Toyota was known for reliability... at least the older cars. I wasn't aware the F150 was among the best reliable trucks though. My parents bought a used Toyota Pickup during the late 90s. I believe it was around 1996. The truck was a 94 Pickup. It wasn't a Tacoma, but one of the smaller versions. That truck still runs fine today. The AC is still cold as hell too.

@richj120952 Месяц назад

Scotty, I hate to say it, but I prefer belts to chains in almost any application. My experience with motorcycles using belts vs. chains tells me that chains stretch a lot more often than a belt does. (Kawasaki Vulcan 500, 95's version had a belt, never an issue with it stretching or breaking.) With chains and motorcycles over 250cc, the darned chains needed tightened every couple of months. Same with chainsaws, although a lot more often. So for me, a timing chain is more of a point of failure than a timing belt. Now, of course you are right, they do need replacing on a schedule, as does the timing chain.

I purposefully looked for gold maximas and I30’s from late ‘90’s and early 00’s and they were VERY hard to kill. I put 325k on a 97 Maxima and still got 2,500 when I traded in 2008 I bought a 01 I 30 and put 275k on before the thing rusted so bad I got unsafe and then I got an intake leak and decided enough but man those VQ 30 3.0 engines were something else. Nissan should go back to that.

Scotty all aftermarket stereos are the absolute best. I know from lots experience from doing lots of car audio installs and I know from real life experience that aftermarket car stereos will always sound way better then a vehicles factor audio system. Facts

@DarkForce2024 Месяц назад

I self taught car stereo installation back in the very early 2000s. Which is why I can't stand these new cars (for many reasons, but this is one of them), but you can't even install an aftermarket head unit in them. The "radio" has 1/3 of the car's computer "integrated", and there is no real way to remove it.

My father had a 2001 frontier lasted just over 500,000 on its original engine and with one transmission rebuild at around 300,000. It was a great work truck. He ended up buying a 2022 frontier lol.

I have a 2016 TRD Off road tacoma. Once every month or two i take it on a gravel road and shift into 4H and 4L to wet the seals on my transfer case. Same for AC, i run it in winter occassionally to wet the seals.

I know a guy who seized the engine TWICE of his (original model) Frontier -he ran it low on oil so the engine heated up and seized. But once it cooled it still ran, probably with some damage. It kept running for years after that.

I have an '04 Frontier with 195k on the clock. It's cost me more in repairs than previous Tacoma's but she's still going... And I'm surprised Scotty didn't point out these aslo have a distributor.

I worked for an engineering company back in the 80s and early 90s. their fleet of trucks were Ford F150, F250, Chevy C10/1500, C20/2500, S10, GMC C15/1500, C25/2500, S15, Dodge Ram 150/1500, 250/2500, 350/3500, Nissan, Toyota, and Mazda. the Nissan, the Toyota, and the Mazda were three of the sorriest trucks built. put 300 to 450 in the bed, the suspension would bottom out, the engine would strand to hold 50 to 65 mph highway speed, got the wurst gas milage, and the engines would start to knock.

@renkhachatoorian302 Месяц назад

The best thing you do for your car longevity is using good parts, even for the AC. Specially when you have the forever running manual transmission. It will save a lot in long run.

@youdontknowme5969 Месяц назад

I just got a 19 Frontier 4.0v6 2x4 5-sp auto at 38k miles this past week. Knock on wood LOL An unlicensed driver in an uninsured vehicle decided it was reasonable and prudent to run a red light and T-bone my beloved (and rather trouble-free) 08 Ridgeline at 151k miles, forcing me into a car-shopping market that I didn't want to be in. I really wanted another Ridgeline, but pickins' were very slim (and I didn't want the 17-19 models with the H6 transmission which is known to be problematic after 80k miles). And the "obvious repos" 22-23 model years were still financially out of my reach. And Tacomas? All I found were again "obvious repos" 22-23 model years for still way too much, or 05 and earlier models with over 200k miles for still $10k---no model years available in between. It was nuts... people know they're good and are hanging onto them. But some used newish Frontiers were available at various locations, but were still flying off the lots. I will say, the Frontier feels so much different than the Ridgeline (more "trucky" handling) but it's fine and am already used to it.

I owned a 2003 Nissan Maxima GXE. Conventional automatic tranny, not CVT. Best car I ever had. Solid as a rock. Traded it for a 2013 Maxima. The CVT was OK and I changed transmission fluid at 35K and 70K. But the car had squeaks and rattles which the previous Maxima didn’t have. Traded the 2013 in recently on a Lexus ES350, since I was leery that the Maxima CVT might have problems as it approached 100K miles. Too bad, as the Maxima was fun to drive and handled well.

“Standard Transmission”…….. I guess now days the “standard transmission” is the automatic because the manual (aka stick shift) transmission is a very rare bread these days.

RIP and God bless "Mr. K". Long live Datsuns/Nissans! PS: Used Tacomas, I'd think twice before buying a Tacoma with the 2.7L 4cyl (bulletproof) engine WHEN combined with an Automatic Transmission. There are some things the "ECT Power" button just can't fix, such as uphill interstate entry ramps or long, increasing interstate grades. Thanks Scotty.

@milfordcivic6755 Месяц назад

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> - Someone has to buy these new trucks to make them used trucks. Buying used gets you to the same place buying a new one does faster - plus you're still financing it for 5 years at a high interest rate with no warranty. Then you get to pay for repairs while making payments. Nope, not for me - I haven't bought a used vehicle since 2003 and I haven't regretted it. It's nice to have a vehicle that you don't have to do anything major to other than fluids, filters and tire rotations for 5 years. Plus you get the residual value of being a 1 owner at the end of your ownership.

Hell, I only get 13.5mpg out of my 5.7 I force. And I could care less about the petrol. Arguably one of the most reliable engines ever built. After 16yrs of ownership it's still eating them miles up like nobody's business
