Ram or Ford!?
Currently driving a 2024 ram 1500 with the SST straight six turbo engine big horn edition and this thing is awesome 4 x 4 four-door fully loaded auto start. The list goes on the mileage is insane. I’m currently getting 25 to 26 on the highway worst case scenario I’m getting 22 to 23. This thing still got well over 400 hp over 500 foot pounds of torque for all your hauling means and it gets up and goes it zips when it needs to, anyway y’all enjoy the video

HIGH MILEAGE ECOBOOST! Can you get DIESEL MILEAGE out of a V6??? I didn’t like this truck...
I'm with you on Morimoto. I have the XBs on my '13 and I've already had to replace them a few times. They're garbage. Only good thing is they back their warranty of 5 years so you're basicly renting them for those 5 years.
@@tagle2818 I finally got them to work for now, turns out I needed a resistor box on each line and I left the DRL line unplugged. So far so good
250,000 miles isn't bad at all. hope you squeeze every mile out of it.
Thanks! Every day is a new concerning noise at start up but I’m keeping my fingers crossed lol
@@jsc2395 im glad to see you have that many miles. My step dad has a 2014 escape and he missed the head gasket issue. last i knew he has 160k and only issue ever was some wheel sensor. he lives about 5 miles down a gravel road.
Ugh with all the problems Chrysler/Dodge are having now, i would never pick a Ram over Ford. Ive had both and the Dodge had nothing but problems with coolant and transmission.
Have had both as well in last 6 years and I will have to stick with Ford. Had few issues with Ram. Had none with Ford with about same miles.
@@kentapley9315 this Ford I have now has given me plenty of issues, but it is going on 13 years old and 250k miles. However, if that Ram stays just as nice with equal or less issues I may have to switch over
You spelled fiat/peugeot wrong. Dodge has been trash since they sold out in 2007 to cerberus. Made in mexico junk now especial the hd trucks
Didn’t know this! John Deere just split to Mexico too
RAM all day.. hemi though..
FORD!!💪💪💪💪💪👍🏻👍🏻
@@fishonalbertaoutdoors9761 love my Fords but this Ram was an incredible piece of work.
For the price of theses and deals going on with the dealerships I can say that theses are insane in terms of value compared to every single truck out there right now.
@@coolsquad7428 honestly I may look at Ram for my next purchase. If they keep selling these kind of trucks I’m in
I’m coming from the Toyota world so when I purchased my Ram 1500, allot of people shat on me. Even some of my subscribers unsubscribed. But they don’t get it. The Rams are so freaking smooth!
I agree man, I lost a follower or two since yesterday lol 😂but! This Ram was clean! Smoothest truck to date and I even drove a 2024 XLT last month, Ram was way better
Fords are even better!😃
Had a Ram. Have a Ford now. Both are great.
Ford overall is the best teuck out forsure but some people only look at very few things they like in a truck and are happy with looks and sound.
My 2017 2.7 v6 eco boost f150 has 210k miles and is running like a dream
My 2011 eco boost is at 267000 and running great! Just needed break work done
Congrats man!! Sounds like a solid truck, I wish that’s all I had to do on mine!
I'm glad to hear that I just bought a 11' with 150k and they say there the worst being first year model
What was the issue?
Still not sure, it’s louder in cold start ups for sure. Warmer weather not so much. That turbo wine is always on a cold start, warm weather or not. Just took it on a 700 mile round trip, no issues whatsoever.
we buy all our ecoboost trucks with 160k to 170k miles weve even bought one with 190k miles
Hey bro if you are still around. How did you determine you needed the fly wheel?
Still here brotha, just busy busy lol. So basically I burnt through two starters. Like absolutely burnt. You could hear the starter jump out but engage absolutely nothing which was odd. When I checked the fly wheel/flex plate (these days) sure enough chipped teeth. 1) cheap material from Ford led to premature chipping. 2) for whatever reason, my flex plate was “off kilter” just enough to further exasperate the issue. 3) new flex plate and new starter since October 2021 and no issues since
@@jsc2395 appreciate the info. I was worried I had a broken flywheel, I did the starter and it seems good but I guess time tells on the flywheel. I’m going through it with transmission problems right now. It’s not looking good but trying everything I can to keep her going. Leaking coolant from both turbos. And some other small issues. Starting to resonate with your repair videos, I’m coming up on 200k myself. Pray for me. 😅 hope all is good since you dumped the money into her.
@@chrisc9572 honestly brother, I hope she holds through for you! Transmission issues suck and I think I’m developing one myself (shifts hard when downshifting on highway, 6-5gr). New noises, but honestly idc lol 😂I’m gonna ride this until something falls off or she doesn’t start one day. From here on out it’s just routine maintenance and not a single more repair. Hope you and yours stay blessed!
Question bro? Did you do a ecu reset after installing the cold air intake? My truck I feel like shifting hard and holding shifts longer
No I didn’t but I haven’t had shifting problems before or after. RPM sometimes high in 5th but shifts smooth to 6 or down to 4
looks great, model #?

Great video and thanks for sharing your experience of this truck / engine. I have a 2018 F150 XLT 3.5 ecoboost with only 43k miles. The truck is amazing. I have had chevys, multiple RAMs before this and hands down this is the best truck of all. I have bigger size tires (34 inches) I drive a lot of city now and I get between 15 and 17 mpg. Highway I will easily hit over 20 mph. When I had stock tires I used to hit 22 - 23 mpg hwy easily. I don’t understand how some people complain of low mpg with this truck. We also have a 2021 Subaru Ascent which only gives less than 14 mpg in similar driving. This truck is nothing less than impressive and I have become a Ford fan for sure except for their jacked up prices now.
Vacuum pump i believe.
Was this your issue?
The vacuum pump isn't cheap, a quick solution is to spray some silicone lubricant inside the pump itself. It should quiet it up a bit. Location is behind the driver headlight
@@D-blaze not sure honestly, it also chirps on acceleration but not as high pitched as a warped manifold… I’ve already replaced the manifolds
Do you hear it at start up only and then it goes away and does it sound clanky like a pea thrasher running?,..ok I've played it over several times....might need a timing chain and or cam phasers.... Its hard to tel with that turbo whine....a lot of times on the 3.5s the chain streches and gets real clanky, especially when its been sittig for a while and the oil has drained down...go you tube around for it....i could be totally off base on this one but im hearing that clanky timing chain...let us know what you discover!
Start up and any kind of acceleration. That turbo whine is crazy lol idk how to get rid of that, but so far as that other sound goes it’s always on start up and any level of acceleration now. Almost like air exhaust is straight leaking out is what it really sounds like. But idk, I noticed a more profound “clank” noise today too so there’s that
Sounds like either high pressure fuel pump or waste gate. If I had to guess. But I am not expert. Mine has some noise similar but not as loud when accelerating. Sometimes I hear it, sometimes I don’t. I just try to ignore it 😅
Glad I came across your video which was Very informative btw, hopefully you can help me with my problem..first of all I’m having issues with my xb amber drl 09-14 for my 2011 f-150 Harley Davison, this is my 2 set had an issue with the first set I ordered a month ago. So the issue I’m having is with the Driver-side light the low beam/high beam will not cut on at all. The passenger side low beam operates properly but when I turn on the high beams the low beam cut off and the high beam doesn’t work either. I took the driver side (morimoto unit) and plugged it up on the passenger side and the low beam turned on… Also every since I’ve installed the first set of morimoto headlights that I had the exact same issue with, my factory headlights don’t work properly anymore. When I try to turn on my high beams my headlights turn off completely … idk if it’s a blown fuse/relay or what… but after spending $1450 I’m very disappointed with this product
SIR IUS LED Canbus Decoder brotha. Worked wonders for me!! I literally just installed them about a month ago and they fixed any/all issues I ever had with my Morimotos. I reinstalled my Morimoto assembly beginning of August and the flickering, low beam going out, fuse issues, ALL solved. Order them on Amazon SIR IUS LED H13 LED Canbus Decoder fix Headlight bulb on and off flickering problem adapter size pack of 2
First would like to say thank you for taking time to address my issue and for your recommendation. I reinstalled my morimotos and they worked! But I’m still having an issue with my high beams (factory/aftermarket lights) so I’m still not sure what the issue may be…. Maybe a fuse/relay, but thanks again truly appreciate your input!!!
It's funny how even their current V6 and V8 models display the same potential MPG 😂. How does their V6 get the exact same MPG as their V8? No point in the V6 from Ford unless its a raptor 🤷♂️
I have a 2016 ford f150 XLT SuperCrew it has 22,053 Miles when i got it an old man used to drive it so thats why the miles are low! I love the videos
All of my 5.4 2v had around 270,000 and ran smooth. The last one died though because i went through deep water and i think just enough water got into the motor, but with care the 5.4 2v is the way to go unless you just NEED 400 hp. For practicality, and $$$ savings, avoid the $60,000 ego machines. With proper set up I could tow roughly 5,000 pounds very easy. An EB will last with proper knowledge and experience.
Getting 9-11 mpg on the older vs the 14-19 mpg on the newer models is a pretty huge jump in my eyes. Here in Hawaii, I value my cooler seats and infotainment system.
Still got the truck man?
I do brotha!
I own a 2013 so far okay other than proper maintenance. Do you put a lot of stress on the rear differential?
Not at all man. I don’t haul trailers much and I don’t race or off-road much either. Just one of those things unfortunately
2015 185k miles. Both IWE’s replaced and driver side failed again. Bickford dealer wouldn’t honor their work few hundred miles out out of warranty- they replaced the parts, but didn’t repair what was causing it. Catalytic converter code coming up and middle driver side spark plug seal broke-one causing engine vibration at high speed. Water pump went out around 170k. Back slider window frame just fell off-glue dotted on failed. New battery twice All in all I wouldn’t buy a ford again.
Got a good friend in Longview Texas with a 2012 King Ranch with h a 3.5 Ecoboost that has 350K on his truck, elk hunts in Colorado and in Canada a few times a year, drove to Dallas to see son, drove down to Longview😮 to see him, original Turbos and Transmission, I asked him his secret and he said oil changes every 5k, let’s the turbos cool off a couple minutes when he gets home and changes his transmission fluid, just what’s in the pan never a flush every 50k. Enjoyed your video, I just got my second Ecoboost F150, first one 94k and not the first problem, but I wanted longer bed, bench seat up front, rubber floor and FX4 package with the same engine and I figured after she hit 100k trade in value would drop and who knows how much longer the idiots In Washington DC are going to allow sales of gas engines and the last thing I want is a battery operated truck!
Any update what it was?
in dry texas less likely to have the misfires and bad plugs without so much condinsation inside system
my 14 got shit 11.9 mpg. idky level and 195 tires. now have 16 and getting 15.7
It’s either a good one or not, I got the grapefruit of trucks but I hope to get a better one some day
Any mpg gain??
Yeah man!! I ended up getting 1.5-2mpg better on average and that still holds today
@@jsc2395 thanks man i just ordered mine.. same product Dry s&B
@jsc2395 are you using the stock bovs??
@@fordguy1115 yeah but I wanted to upgrade to smarty’s at some point
Question… would you buy a 15-16 F150 KR or Plat… w/140-160k miles? I’m looking to purchase a good used truck. I don’t know how much life/ miles these 3.5 7:31 can hold!!!
King Ranch for sure, but I’ve always loved that trim package. Be careful though because in my experience the higher the trim the more potential issues via electrical problems can pop up. I’ve had two Lariats and both had their severe issues while my XLT had virtually none. Just my theory on the matter but a KR at 140k being a 2016 I’d buy in a heartbeat. I’d go 16 over 15 because 15 is the new body year and may have some underlying bugs not worked out
Coincidentally it sounds like your A/c compressor. Just a thought since it is timed so well.
First of all, thank you for the update video. If your looking for non professional opinions on your "ticking" issue... I would also suspect timing chain with your mileage. I've got a 2014 with LOW miles and I've got a coolant leak somewhere? And I get a wicked cloud of white smoke on cold start... The smoke in your short video is about 1/4 as much as I'm getting. What's the cause of that if anyone knows? I of course realize it's coolant burning off from some location in the engine? Absolutely love this EcoBoost for power but the potential problems are scary expensive to fix I guess?
At this point man I have no clue. My truck seems to invent issues, I hope it’s not the chain but I also have a bad cold start. The video didn’t do it justice. LOTS of white smoke kinda like yours. As for normal cold start smoke it’s just condensation in the pipes normal stuff. Lots of smoke and I think you’re right maybe a coolant issue or something. I think my brand NEW turbo is leaking… so there’s that lol 😂
Could be your intercooler sucking in and condensing the ambient air - it settles at lower speeds and will cause your truck to occasionally stutter. Google “drilling hole in EcoBoost intercooler” for the most common DIY fix, and BE CAREFUL!
Mileage update???
232,245 and counting!
Normal man …..does it on mine and no check engine light or anything??
looks normal to me..
Condensation. Look at your muffler and resonator. They have weep holes and when there is moisture it will drip out of them. Completely normal
water vapor
Yes that's normal is condensation in the exhaust all the Ecoboost do that
I'm surprised that people don't know that the white smoke is just condensation being burned off. Since burning gasoline also produces water vapor, you'll see this more on cold days than on warm days.
Why do people think engines that dont run on diesel can cold start? I literally know fuck all about vehicles, and even im aware that only diesels cold start. Im also well aware that this is just water vapor which happens to literally every vehicle.
“I literally know fuck all” yes this proves that, cold start refers to the engine being cold. Diesel or gas it carries over
I'd say normal if it's an Ecoboost
Condensation. Water vapor. Goes out once all moisture from the exhaust evaporates.
I bought a 19 3.5 February 2023,40k on it, at 41k tranny issues, several visits back until 1day at 80mph dropped from 10th to 1st!! By by transmission, 1 week later with the truck on the lift with old tranny out, i was told transmission is on back order 45days+, they allowed me to trade it in and they made everything so I didn’t loose down payment or negative equity, purchased a 2020. 3.5 with 45k on it , 13 hrs after i drove it off the lot iwe’s or whatever they’re called went bad screeching, banging from the front wheels! I have 100k warranty on it, after that I can’t wait to dump this thing and go get a tundra or titan, sure ill loose money on extra gas but at least ill have a truck i know will last 2-300k plus miles without falling apart or having things go out all the time!
Dadgum brother that sucks! You’re smart though and got out now lol I’ve decided $10k dropped into a 232k mile truck that’s over 10 years old is somehow worth it 😂
Hi I am looking at buying a cord F150 2010 XLT super cap it has 270k miles is it worth it
Shoot brotha I’m not sure. If you want it as a reliable commuter or something then I’d say no. Two things: it’s well over 13 years old and it’s way over 250k miles… unless God himself has blessed this truck you’re looking at turbo replacements, pumps, etc at around 300k miles almost for certain. However, there’s guys on here commenting their trucks getting 200k-300k and literally zero issues. If your heart is set on it I would not pay a dime over $8k for it. I’d also get it completely looked at by a trusted mechanic or just pay a local shop to inspect it first. Good luck man!
Got a 2015 expedition with the 3.5 last year had 81k on it. At 110k now still great!
