I don’t think Scotty is the kind of warm blooded die hard American patriot that shops at Walmart unless he absolutely has to

I've always said that older vehicles are easier to work on and are more dependable ! I'm 73 yrs.old and took three courses in mechanical engineering at Ohio University in the 1960's . The professor told our class that vehicles would be coming out in the future with on board computers and would be way less dependable and I've seen it come to fruition ! He wrote on the chalk board the first day of class the acronym of "KISS " and asked if anyone knew what it stood for ? No one knew and he said ," keep it simple,stupid !" He said that any mechanical system made more complicated than it needs to be ,the less reliable it becomes ! I 've witnessed this over my 73 yrs. of life ! As a doctorate of mechanical engineering retired from General Motors he knew what he was talking about ! He's long gone since he was in his 60's yrs.of age and I was 18 yrs. of age BUT I have never forgot that man and not only his wisdom and intellect BUT his fore -thought of what was coming in the future ! I still drive cars over 25 yrs. old and have driven numerous cars over 300,000 miles !!!! I maintain and change oil and filter religiously so I'm sure that's a big part of my cars longevity ! Finally I believe the old school autos are very much simpler and thus more reliable than any brand new cars !!!!

My 96 Ranger is immortal. The first odometer quit at 250k. It’s been through two more and the last odometer quit about 14 years ago. If I had to guess, it probably has 700 to 800,000 miles. On its third clutch. Had the transmission rebuilt once and the 2.3 Lima has never been out or apart, just routine maintenance. Been commuting 100 mile round trip for about 10 years. The only time it was towed was a u joint decided to call it a day. Of course it’s been through timing belts, water pumps, hoses, brakes. I just last year replaced the entire AC system for around $400 and had it charged at a shop. About the same as a typical car payment

Here's a little tip on those older Tundra's: Remove the metal safety guard from the rear differential that contains the 4WD black plastic motor box. On the very top of the plastic box, you will see a vacuum line. Inspect that line and make sure that it is STILL attached to the nipple and inspect it for rot. If the vacuum line becomes detached, and you drive through any amount of water, the water will seep into the motor box and corrode the 4WD motors. This will render your 4WD as totally worthless. You try and put it in 4WD, and all you will see is flashing Hi and Lo lights. It will never go into gear. The only fix is to buy a used differential and replace it. For some reason, Toyota put the plastic box together with self tapping Phillip's head screws! So if you live in the salt belt like I do, the screws are rotted beyond belief and you will never be able to remove them to inspect the electric motors. Another tip: Check the rear pumpkins vent valve. They love to get all rusted up and seal themselves closed. If this happens, your rear end will be unable to vent the pressure and will eventually cause the axle seals to leak. Another caveat of living in the salt belt.

My landlord had a 94 Silverado with a 350CID and 4 speed automatic. He gave it away for $1,000, says he regrets that decision. I do too, as I overhauled the AC in it, replaced the alternator, battery, serpentine belt and starter. But it was super dependable transport when I needed it to get to work for three school years. It was a Windsor Ontario made, solid vehicle. I should’ve bought it.

Can't get of enough of these video's.

My 95 Winnebago is on 94 Chevy chassis and that parts availability and simplicity was part of the reason why I chose it. As far as fuel economy, I’ve never seen anyone in a forum for rvs mention having a class A that got anymore than around 12mpg.

And there's a reason we will likely never see a electric RV.... maybe hybrid, but not EV - it would run out of juice in 10 miles LOL. Gas is never going completely away, despite the green view in Seattle trying to outlaw sales of new gas vehicles by 2025 LOL.

My 1984 GMC High Sierra 4 by 4 with 350 and manual transmission is still my beauty. Having a 7.5' western snow plow makes it even more popular in the winter. It only talks to people with cash. Just got a new mechanical fuel pump on but haven't found time for the test drive. Something to live for.

My dads 1969 ford f250 has 953,957 miles in it and it still works

I have a 1990 chevy manual c1500 with almost 299,000 miles, paid 750 for it becuase it wasnt running well. Paid 200 to replace the 2 injectors and the muffler, still runs great.

A few years ago, I bought a 2002 Toyota Tundra 4X4 Limited extended cab (leather interior, step rails, power everything, and bed liner) for around $6500. It had 132,000 miles on it. I immediately changed the timing belt, spark plugs, and fuel filter, and flushed the radiator. I regularly change the oil and filter. So, far, it's run beautifully without a single problem. I've been spraying the underbody annually to avoid frame rust. I think rust is the only threat to me getting many, many more miles on this thing.

You can buy a similar Rustoleum brush-on formula. You just have to stay on top of it. I think there's a separate rust stopper solution you can brush on before you paint, which is supposed to stop the rust, but again, I'm not sure anything is really foolproof once the rust starts. If you can keep something on it, you can at least slow things down.

I’m glad you got yourself a tundra. But if you have some rust please do not paint over it. Do your best to wire brush off as much as possible and then use a Cosmo lean based rust preventer. If you spray that on it every couple of years it will stop your truck from rusting out. There are many videos on KZread that support this statement.

What level of skill (in your opinion) is required to changing the timing belt ? Is that something for a trained mechanic ? 2000 Tundra.

Hi Scotty. Had to tell you when I saw the can trick for exhaust pipe I did that on my 60 gmc worked great as always enjoyed your video. Please keep them coming.

I have the 2002 Silverado and it’s solid. Steel doors and none of that fancy electronics. Needed some wear and tear parts but that’s it.

2005 F150 on our end. 5.4l with 262,000 on it. . Trans was replaced about 30k ago. Engine still runs strong. Did recently do a timing job . Chains, tensioners and phasers using all Ford stuff.

I love my 97 c1500 4.3. It runs perfect with 150k miles. It actually gets decent gas mileage which is important in these times. I’m never getting rid of it. Maybe LS swap it some day.

Since 1991, all I've owned are 88-98 GMT400's. Thirteen of them to date and the two I have now are a '92 C1500 GMC Sierra 5.7L with just 135,000 miles and my work truck is a GMT400 Bodied 1999 C2500 with 167,000 on the truck and just 2,300 miles on the NAPA 5.7 with 36,000 mile 3 year warranty. All trucks built since the GMT400's in the GM lineup are, in my humble opinion, disposable trucks. Yes...there are always exceptions to the rule, but they're way more expensive to maintain and repair and repairs are more frequent. I'll stick with what works! Cheers! Zip~

Have a great weekend, Scotty!!! Hope to see you soon 😊

That F250 is our truck, but in 4x4. It was from a construction company woo heavy spec'd it, and then it ended up with after market skid plates that would pass as armour. It's a real trooper. We had the same Chevy t1500 as well, but set up for oil field work. True dual exhaust on that one. Our daughter loved taking that one to school.

​​@@richardtodd4325If you know it's leaking, because it's leaving puddles under it, there aren't many places it can be. Valve cover gaskets, front or rear main seal, oil pan gasket, even the oil drain plug is a possible culprit. Put a piece of cardboard under the engine, front and back, let it idle for a while, then shut it off and see where its dripping, you can chase it from there. If it isn't leaving puddles under it, then you're not looking for a leak, it's either burning out or it's getting into your coolant.

Close to 300k on my 94 we changed the engine and transmission, was still going strong. Tore down the engine and the only things wrong was rod bearing wear and a minor leak in the belly pan on the intake... Went through the rest of the truck and now everything, yes even the a/c is in top shape

Dogs & I love my '94 C1500 Suburban. It sounds & feels SO good! Rides smooth & handles shockingly good for it's weight & age. Everything about it is so cheap that it makes the 10-12 mpg's well worth it. I bought it because my '14 prius blew it's head gasket & would cost more to fix than an old truck would be to purchase.

I just bought a 1998 Chevy k1500 4x4 extended cab..it spent its whole life in Ohio and it’s rust free..it’s all about taking care of your vehicle and getting them undercoated for rust prevention.

SCOTTY,LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMING . KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK AND USEFUL COMMENTS

429k on my 2001 Tacoma. No big problems.

I have a 1998 f-150 with a 4.2 liter V6 and a 5 speed manual transmission. I've had it for a few months, when I bought it, it had 248,000 miles, and I'm convinced that it'll make to at least 500,000 miles if not a million. The only problem I've had with it so far that wasn't just cosmetic was a leak in the plastic part of the radiator that that I patched with JB weld. The thing purrs like a kitten. It's solid white, I named him Shadowfax after Gandalf's horse 😁😁

So right Scotty. I have a 94 GMC that I bought new (in Texas $3k cheaper than here in La.) and it has 156k miles on it and all I have ever had replaced was a water pump and fuel pump and still going strong and I have offers to buy it constantly.

I have a 1995 c2500 with the 5 speed and 350. And also a 2002 1500 with the 4.8/4l60e and I love them both. Both have been relatively problem free

I paid 3800 for a 2005 f150 xl. Put over 150k on it so far. Odometer is at 276k. Still running strong.

I own a 97 K1500 with the 350 & I'm in the process of rebuilding the truck for those very reasons you mentioned Scott. It's my daily work truck & I plan to get another one this summer & do the same thing. It's worth rebuilding because it's still cheaper than buying a new truck. I'm in St Louis, MO & even with our weather you see a ton of those Chevy trucks on our roads.

Another great video!!! Hits home for me. I;ve got a 93 chevy k1500 with 290,00, same color as that one you showed. I got a good deal on it at 100,000 miles.Other than regular maintenance, no problems except water pump and transmission losing 3rd & 4th gears. I fixed transmission myself with a raybestos Z-pack about 15 years ago no problems since. I would not trade it even for ANY new truck on the market. [P.S. Welcome to Tennessee, I live a little northwest of Nashville. ]

Bought my 92 Toyota 4x4 truck brand new. 4 cyl, 5 spd manual. Currently has 422,000 miles. Orig engine, orig transmission, never rebuilt. Truck has only had basic maintenance in last 30 years. Still runs like a champ. Has never left me stranded. 3000 mi oil changes, hoses/belts replaced at scheduled intervals. Little things like water pump, alternator, radiator have been replace a time or three.

I used to have a 1993 Ford F-150 with the 5.0 V-8. I sold it back in 2015 with 386000 miles and she was still really freaking strong. No major engine work or any major transmission work done to it. I was able to get 325 miles on a full tank of gas.

A couple years ago I bought a 2001 Ford Expedition with 169.00 miles on it for 2500, Interior was immaculate and nothing worse than gravel chips on the exterior. I spent a couple grand redoing the from end, barges roters and shocks. Did coolant and fluid change and the car drives like a new one. I am keeping it as my get out of town car. I had one of these new but really did not like the rear seat not folding down into the floor like one I had a couple years before, bought it used and can't remember the year but all the seats folded flat into the floor, loved that one, don't remember why I got rid of it. I retired with a Toyota Sienna the I drove for 10 years after I retired, went to Rav 4 that I drove for 6 years and moved to a Highlander this year. Wife drive for me now just got too old and lame to be the best driver so we got all the new safety aids and she is happy, so I am.

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer it has 166000+ miles. I change oil + tune-up regularly. Still 17+ mpg with a 5.0 V-8.

Nice video.. I have a 97 1500 4.3 WT model that I've owned since 2007 with 115,000 on it and now in 2022 I'm at 322,000 and still runs and looks just as good as it did on day 1and still all original with no rebuilding yet.. and it gets 21-22 mpg all day long

Scotty, I have a '79 GMC I bought for $800. It runs good, no suspension problems, the auto tranny shifts predictably but the fuel mileage in town not carrying anything is only 18 with the 350 cu in (not bad really). A southern truck, never seen salt and I put an Alabama "antique tag" on it. Just one rusty spot where it was scratched on the bumper. Now, many people didn't like "square bodied trucks", but that I what I grew up with and I prefer them. I have a '90 Ford Ranger that has no rust, cost me 1,800 bucks when I bought it with cash, 2.3L engine, Mazda 5 speed with a fiberglass box on it, 22 around town and 26 highway with only 186,000 miles on it, EFI (I wish it was normally aspirated because changing #3 plug you have to take apart the throttlebody which is a pain in my back ( literally). I'm 65, Don't drive much anymore, just around town. I only buy gas for it once a month, but the paint is in good shape, I sprayed bar and chain oil on the chassis to stop any unseen rust, but it gets me around just fine. I change engine oil, diff, and tranny fluids every year just for the fun of it! This keeps the moisture and "rust dust" out of the fluids than can ruin the drive train. The '90 Ranger is a "square-body" too, so I really like it. I even bought new Radio cassette players for both that can take a thumb drive, some Chinese knockoff that was the copy of a JVC in dash so I can listen to the real classic rock oldies we both grew up with. I am an Amateur Radio enthusiast , so the ladder racks each carries all sorts of antennas without drilling holes in the body - really neat! I dislike the new trucks efforts at "streamlining" the body - they look ugly to me and really cost way too much. 73's Scotty ( best wishes in "Ham Speak").

Waiting for them to tow it away feels like when I had to have my dog put down. It tears at my heart strings so much. Rest In Peace, both of my beautiful beasts 🐕 🛻
