Hey Scotty I always message you about my rev limiter no longer working on my 99 Durango 5.2 l but yet it still runs good and everything you never answer back for whatever reason maybe you don't see my message but I figured it out I think it's my throttle positioning sensor
Scotty, I’m moving to TN.... will you be my Mechanic.... I wont be seeing you often because I own a 2014 F150 V8 4x4. Perfect condition under 80K miles. HA!
Heck! We still have a '80s Toyota Tamaraw Compact Pickup Truck still rolling on the road hauling heavy stuff! This baby is built with indestructible legendary 4K engine (in my country Philippines), mostly used in Owner Type Jeep (Custom Built Jeep) still running like a dream, proof that old vehicles were made to last forever! Especially Toyota! =D
I had an '81 F100. Came with 300, 3 spd column shift. No p.s. It was upgraded, after a couple years, to a 4 SPD on the floor, and the ridiculously high final drive was swapped for 3.27 gears. Lost 2 mpg but gained useful power. A 3.55 would have been better. But the 3.27 was the whole rear end for $50. Was purchased with 100,000 miles. Dad drove it easy. Brother drove it harder. I bought it. I drove it and rebuilt it. Gave it back to Dad. Then later we gave it to a brother in law.
This thing is cheap and easy to work on. I spent 225 bucks on the starter, starter solenoid, mechanical fuel pump, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and water pump. Smoked for about 20 minutes, then it ran like a champ.
I miss my 85 F-150 straight 6 4 speed manual. Best truck I ever had. Unfortunately in Pennsylvania it rotted away faster than I could patch it. Had well over 300000 miles. Wish I still had it.
I wouldn't trade that for my 83 D150 Ram Miser. It now has a modified 360 and 727 torqueflite. Next up is a rear disc brake set up. Oh and it also has an 8 foot bed you can get a full sheet of plywood in without hanging out the back. Why are there so many four door trucks? I'd have a Ridgeline if they made one with two doors and a bigger bed.
Ya even ups trucks this engine is no joke it's a real bullet proof strong as hell engine. They even use them at air ports to run all the ground support equipment. These engine is the real deal that helped and is still helping to build America. I personally own one of these gems and it has over 300k on it and still runs like new. And will pull way more than recommend and not complain one bit.
@@Project-gr6zy like I've been told since I was a teenager this engine is pretty much a gas powered diesel engine. The two best engine hands down are the gasoline, LPG, natural gas, and CNG 4.9l inline 6 300 ci and the 7.3L v8 444ci Power Stroke diesel both engine are power houses that are unrivaled in the truck world. For there reliability and power but for me hands down the 300 is my choice for a engine in my truck because of its way cheaper than a diesel to repair and maintain.
Scotty would you say that 300 straight 6 is more reliable or your celicas little 4 cylinder assuming both were driven as daily drivers the exact same way
Ford also stopped making them because they couldn't meet newer emission standards, they were too heavy and they were too long for the newer truck designs.
I've got a 88 ford.... It's been sent me for about 7 years , two people that have checked it out have verified that it will run It's not seized or anything
Picked up an 86 c3500 GMC dump with a 6.2 for a buck 3-4 yrs ago and it's my daily driver work truck. She's ruff here an there but the great thing is it almost doesn't matter what breaks on it it'll still drive :)
You may not find them for 2 dollars but you can get these trucks anywhere for under 2000 bucks I see them for sale on craigslist for between 500 to 1000 all the time there not hard to get ahold of here in North Carolina. The ones around 2000 have little to no damage and very low mileage. The cheaper ones have higher miles and some body damage but not going to stop the truck from running and doing its job. I've pulled these engines apart with over 300k and the internals look almost brand new just keep the oil changed and change antifreeze every 3 years and you will get over 300k. on my 4.9l 300 inline big 6 that's the heart of my 1995 efi 5 speed trans f150. I've got over 300k on mine and it still runs like brand new. Best truck I've ever owned hands down. I plan to keep this truck for life even if I have to ever rebuild it I have 0 dents and the only rust is very light surface rust in the bed but nothing that can't be sanded and I will be putting a spray rhino bed liner.
Yup, I had a 73 Gran Torino in Pennsylvania, same thing, drove it until late 80s, total rust bucket but 351 Cleveland engine ran perfect when I finally gave it up
Absolutely tough proven! My last 300 I bought new was in 1993. 300k miles now burns 1 qt oil every 5,000 miles. Go figure, that’s why ford quit making them. Just way to good for today’s society.
I would say the Mercedes-Benz OM617 is the best engine ever build Just from the fact that these engines are willknown for going over 2 million miles without breaking a sweat Back when they actually build reliable diesels
Got to love those old trucks. Tough as nails and still being used as work trucks decades later. My buddy has an 86 with a manual transmission and an inline 6. My son has a 96 f150 with the inline and dual tanks. They are both beasts
They are becoming popular for upscale lowered daily driver/cruise-in/Cars and Coffee/weekend fun trucks too becaus ethye are the last of "Affordable" Classic trucks.
My 88 F-150 with a 300 six and 4-speed manual is coming up on 500,000. Still smooth and gets good mileage, but it is showing its age when you start it cold, the bottom end rattles for a second, it's due for a rebuild, even though, it doesn't use any oil or coolant
The only weak spot on them was the distributor. But that wouldn't give you trouble until well over 100k miles. I had one, and those 300 engines are bullet proof
@@ramosjaime11 The EGR tube that comes from the exhaust manifold has a tendency to corrode too. That will make the truck sound like it has straight pipes but the sound will be coming from the engine.
I've seen them go 400K miles without major work. The trucks they were in were basically rotted away to almost nothing, but that engine would still start and run. You know why Ford doesn't make them anymore? Because if they did, you'd never buy one of their NEW g**damn trucks.
Got an 86 F150 with a straight six, though its auto (wish it was manual). In a day and age where u need thousands of dollars worth of diagnostic equipment and coding software to complete basic tasks, its nice to have something that you can fix (if need be) with a basic small tool set. Great trucks no doubt, and i have no partiality towards Fords at all.
I got a 85 XL 4X4, manual transmision, stright six, long bed and dual fuel tank in Mexico City. I bought it about 300 bucks. We had to rebuild the engine because it had an stuck head valvule but everything else is in good condition. How rare is this truck? I mean in termns of equipment. Plus the truck got the "EXPLORER" badge on both sides of the bed.
Im looking at buying a 1985 Ford F150 Lariat this tuesday. Its going for 3500, but is in excelent condition and I've had a mechanic look at it. Have a lot of family telling me not to buy it because of its age and its rear wheel drive (I live in Minnesota). What do you think?
@@maverickgamesalot6968 I have no issue in NY winters as long as there is weight in the back. This comment is 3 years old and I still drive the truck. Great trucks.
You don't want a $2 car, partner. Them's the most expensive kind of cars you can buy. The guy who owns that thing in the video got it from family. If that thing was sitting in a used car lot, it'd be $3K easily, just because it runs, ain't completely trashed, and can haul stuff.
@@cayman9873 Yeah, from my experience GM vehicles have been great. Even the newer ones aren’t terrible, especially considering no new vehicles seem to be as good as the old ones.
@@jmccormick1490 The old 3-on-the-tree *IS* hard to find - even harder to find one that the original shifter isn't completely worn out. Most of the ones with a 3-speed were converted to floor shift for that reason. Pretty sure '82 was the last year for a 3-on-the-tree at Ford, and Ford was the last US automaker to offer one. The one I'd like to have is a 300 six mated to the old SROD. It's a four speed floor shift manual, but third is 1:1 and fourth is actually overdrive.
390s are awesome. I love that you can just give 'em a little gas, and they pull strong and smooth without all the noise and drama. My old T-bird had one. 80-90 mph was easy to achieve. No sense of speed or effort at all. Just tip into it and roll....
That is 100% the best bamg for your bick an automobile could give. A free ferrari 250gto doesnt hold a candle to the value of the most reliable, indestructible, and third greatest looking truck that was ever made. Ditch the Carter YF1 ASAP, terrible carburetor, probably the only thing that could ever give you a problem out of a 300.
Scotty, a friend of mine in high school (graduated in 04) had a powder blue f100 explorer around the same year he and his dad fully restored. One of the best looking trucks at golf and shooting practice.
By the way Scotty, how about doing a show on the 98' Ford Explorer XLT V6. Mine was a GEM, 325k original engine and Transmission..... Never a problem until the second Car hit me while stopped. One day on the Freeway it just made a loud noise and stopped. The mechanic said it was Toast $$$ to fix. It still looks perfect sitting in the back covered up. Very little body damage or rust, perfect inside leather, clean one owner. I just can't take it to the Dump. I love it like my kid! 💓💓
See this is what annoys me about trucks with all these dumb screens, sensors and other annoying crap.. I seriously don't think we'll have a 2020 Ford F150 going down the road in 2050
Why!!! I would give both arms to not own this truck. I’m a Ford guy but these older trucks are underpowered junk. If they where really that good, they would still be making them like that.
I miss my 87 f150 with the straight 6, that thing took a punch and kept on going bought it for 500 bucks and sold it to the junk yard still running for 400 bucks needed the money at the time, looking back I should of kept it. I miss that truck truly the best trucks made for its time
Cloyes Double roller timing set. About $120 at Jegs. Felpro timing gasket set, maybe $75. A one guy job for about 7 hours yourself. Ford V8 timing chains will stretch. Oh, then buy the ATP front seal repair sleeve. Then you will be sure no oil leaks at the front of the crank. Good luck!
My '93 F150 is by far the most dependable workhorse I've ever owned. With an oil pan leak now finally at 170,000 miles, it is still a great truck. These trucks are built solid and just plain last. I only wish I could buy another one new. The 302 ci. is one of the best engines and a great runner.
That’s back when Ford really meant something great. Now they’re all just trash with the exception of the Mustang, No not the electric mini van sized mustang lol
hey scotty! i dont know if youre ever would noticed this but, me and my dad are your fans a big fan of yours, and just 6 months later my dad died, and the last videos i watched with him is you whining about some of newer bmws and mercedes car, we had a good laugh and the day after, my dad died its really sad for me...and i just wanted to say that, thank you for all of these years you still telling us, teaching us about cars about cars technology and stuff, i will never forget you mister scotty! thank you for all of this years! my dad says youre are one of his idols! ❤
Ah, those 85 MPH malaise-era speedometers, from the days of the "double-nickel" speed limit. That truck can probably bury the speedo given enough time.
I got the impression that my '82 could probably reach 90 if I really wanted it to, but I never ran it that fast, and 'speed' wasn't really what the 300 inline was built to do anyway. Their forte was durability, reliability, low maintenance, and off-idle torque - all of which they achieved, in spades. It could roll at 60-65 while loaded, without any sense of 'effort', and that was sufficient. The 85 mph speedos never bothered me anyway.
The cylinder deactivation, and even worse, the "start-stop" functions, where the car shuts down when you come to a complete stop, you just know a) that cannot be good for the engine and, b) it's just another thing to go wrong. I think they do it to meet fuel efficiency standards (?).
Mine has 3.25 rear end, 3 speed automatic, 2wd, and 30.5x10.7r15 (265/75r15) tires and I average between 15-16mpg (if I keep her at 65 or under) at 60mph she runs right at 2k rpm.
Yep, when I was a pizza delivery driver I had to replace my starter from all the starting/stopping... Then I started leaving my car on, while parked at customer's houses. You only get so many starts from a starter motor. Funny thing... my starter burned out literally while I was delivering to an auto repair shop. Guess who fixed it.
