What's your opinion on 2002 Chevy Impala?
I have a 2013 Ford fiesta, 60k miles. Been sitting at the dealership waiting for a new Transmission Control Module for 7 months now.
@@magnashield8604 Personally, I would've tried to have sold it, *AS IS* instead of waiting that long to have it fixed.😲😲😲
@@g5alive795 I have been fortunate to have plenty of vehicles in my stable. I am not wealthy by US standards and most of my vehicles were purchased used. This Fiesta is actually a car I bought used for my daughter. She loves how it drives and fortunately I was able to provide her a 2013 focus (transmission control module replaced a few years back.) At this point, I'm kind of curious to see what the dealership is going to do. That's why I haven't purchased an aftermarket module or gone digging into the junkyard for one.
@@magnashield8604 Did you get an *OUT THE DOOR PRICE FOR THE MODULE INSTALLED*
from the dealer B4 waiting this long, hope so? Out of the 30+ vehicles I've owned, only 3 were Dealer New. Used, price wise, has always worked out better for the Mrs & I.😲😲😲
Nothing is more reliable or consistent than Scotty's use of arm/hand gestures.
Those arms have more mileage than all the vehicles he's worked on combined.
He has a patent on those you know. 😸
😆😆 hey man, in this crazy, unpredictable world, we need something that we can set our watches to. We can definitely set our watches, schedule and depend on Scotty to deliver.
They remind me of those blow up flappy arm things that tire shops put out to get your attention 😂
under those clothes he probably has the shoulders of a greek god.
One big critical item that many owners don’t know about are those stupid plastic transmission oil cooler line couplings underneath the radiator. If they get damaged or worn out, they’ll break open and drain out all the trans fluid while driving. Once that happens, the transmission is toast.

I heard about this and replaced mine a few months ago. I'd rather the 1000$ bill over a 6000$ transmission
Plastics have been the downfall of automotive quality for years now. I just pulled out a plastic radiator coupler from my vehicle and replaced it with a brass piece I got from Home Depot for 2 bucks. I'm glad I did it because the plastic one literally crumbled in my hands from just trying to remove it. If that would have blown out on the road my engine would've overheated and goodbye engine.
That's Ford for you.
Hater alert
As a transmission/torque converter company, you’re 100% right Scotty. The transmission industry is struggling to find good technicians.
Simply there is not a olde skool guy passing on the knowledge to a younger guy, due to a lack of younger people, the olde timer then retires taking his knowledge to the grave,

sad. America is losing its edge. When i was growing up my father told me to always buy an American car. If he were alive i doubt he would say the same thing he told me as a boy
Nobody seems to want to work. Mechanics get paid huge money. Reminds me of when I had a Honda, the Mechanics at the dealership ( Married with kids) would take their brand new Harley Davidson fat boys to work in the summer, and their new 4×4 Tacomas in winter.
Every industry is struggling to find competent workers especially anything that requires technical knowledge
Sounds like Scotty didn't get a Ford, and its not already falling apart.
He got a Ford, etc cars to demonstrate for his show. He never said he bought a Ford or whatever truck or car. He is very careful of purchasing cars or trucks.. very conservative and smart as not to spend too much for vehicles that can smash up like a tin can in almost any car accident. More than likely he spends his money on real estate rather than automobiles as property values usually increase rather than decreases like cars do right after you buy them!
@@bettyqueen1235 I agree, but is this Ford really falling apart?
@@gdholmfirth He might have meant the vehicle is beginning to fall apart.
Bought a brand new 03 ford f150 in 03 and now has 162k miles, changed tranny fluid at 53k, still runs showroom. Scotty told me to keep it, you got that right..!

It should be changed twice by now at least. I’d change it again.
@@wolfeadventures I keep going back and forth on that. I remember scotty saying if 100k mi. went by he'd leave it cause of the ultra fine ports or this an that inside the tranny is used to the old oil and it just very well start slipping even though it runs like showroom and the oil looks red like new has no odor, but I am so tempted. If I had a little honda car for back up I would change it.
@@ronvalley1973 you can also do just drain and fill, keeping the old oil in case. But I would change at least a few quarts out. That’s me.
@@wolfeadventures now that is a great idea I have actually thought about doing, so should i find out how many qts. the ford holds and change half or should I do just two? and I never really trusted the ford dealer that did the change of oil and filter at 53k, I mean I do believe they did the oil but not the filter, so, I don't see a drain plug, and to just do the two qts. only would require lowering the pan I think so I could then save all the old oil and change the filter.
Soooo... it's been used hard, some parts needed replacing and it's really not falling apart after all...

Most transmission shops use mostly used parts in their rebuild. The good shops will offer a lifetime warranty but they're also $ 1 to $2k more than their competitors. The lifetime warranty is subject to change at any time.
I got mine rebuilt with a 1 year 12k warranty. Other guys were offering 0 to 3 month warranties.
Had mine replaced and it came with a warranty. Thankfully it did because the real problem was a busted solenoid which ended up ruining the new transmission. Had to get the solenoids replaced and the new transmission, would have jumped off a cliff if I had to pay for the second tranny
I have the 6L80E transmission their weakest point is their torque converter (6L80E) so I dropped my transmission and switched out the 6L80E torque converter for a 6L90 torque converter and upgraded my transmission cooler with a much larger one. Now I have a great reliable transmission.
Scotty, you do one helluva Joe Cocker impression.
Yet another vehicle that Scotty recommends but warns you about. I did pickup a 2011 F150 Lariat in 2021 with 117k miles. Has around 122k miles on it now after almost 2 years. Runs fine, and doesn't seem to have any issues that I can tell. Now I don't drive much, but it is typically my daily run-about. I think the guy before me did reasonably well at caring for it. Hoping to get another 10 years out of it before considering a brand new truck for the first time.
If it's being driven intermittenly just make sure you do a fresh oil change every few months. I had a 2015 F150 3.5 with 240,000 miles I just got rid of but that thing still ran like the day I got it. No phaser issues, no trans issues, and the body looked brand new thanks to the non-rusting aluminum. Definitely got my money's worth on that thing.
The cactus ariel antenna gave me a chuckle. Love the review Scotty.
I have a heavy foot from time to time, my 2010 F150 Texas Edition has just over 234.000 (original engine/tranny) & still spins tires when i mash the motor sometimes even in 2nd it'll sqeek'em, kept up with maintenance & it keeps me happy.
Awesome brother, I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 151,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.
@@CJColvin My buddies F-150 with an ecoboost just crapped out at 150,000 miles. I remember warning him about buying it at the time. Bottom line, you need a V8 in a truck IMO. Those tiny little turbocharged engines pushing a heavy truck day after day is a recipe for failure.
@mplslawnguy Exactly mate you got it brother.
My 2013 F150 has been nothing but good to me. Zero problems in 10 years.
hopefully it won't start falling apart like mine...
My 04 Grand Cherokee is lifted 4 inches with 3 inch offset wheels and 32 inch tires.its primarily used off road and in winter. It's been perfect , other than brake pads and tie rods. 180,000 miles. My new one has been in the shop for 4 weeks.
The new stuff is junk
I am looking to get a WK2-HEMI in a few months. Overland HEMI Like 2015ish.
Jeeps have live axles in the front. That makes them ideal for lifts. Almost all pickup trucks have converted to IFS and when lifted it could cause the front CV shafts to operate at extreme angles
I have a 2010 Lincoln navigator with 161,000 miles and still on the original transmission. It runs excellent.
Install a Monster Transmission and problem solved. That's the only transmission you'll ever need.
Custom built for the power level you want.
The only way to go for reliable proven performance. Love their stuff!!
Hope this helps someone.
Scotty my 4.6 cougar has survived a beating up until 190k miles still running strong. Old modular motors sound amazing and they're very reliable from my experience.
Edit: I stand corrected. 190k was all she had.
LOL
My 2005 F-150 FX-4 has 191K miles on the original 4 speed transmission. I've had the truck since new. Have changed the transmission fluid a few times over the life of the truck, and it's still going. It's starting to feel a little shuddery at times, so I know it's approaching end of life.
@The Real VR 25.000 Rpm.? = Grenade ?
My 04 STX stopped shifting into overdrive at 120K, I just turn off overdrive so it's a three speed now. It's got 160k miles.
@@ironmonkey1512 How many times have you changed out the transmission fluid and filter over those miles? That makes a difference in how long the tranny lives too...
I have 2006 King Ranch with 264k still going strong no leaks biggest repair was replacing ecm around 2k
2003 expedition EB 270k miles. Perfect
I’ve got a 19 year old 1.6 NA 4 speed automatic Honda Civic hatchback built in the uk 🇬🇧 great car, super reliable and doesn’t cost much at all to maintain! I did a major service at 50k the other week and it cost me £88.81p for Castrol oil, Mann oil filter, bosch air filter, cabin filter and 4 ngk sparkplugs.

@@CJColvinIs that borla atak really loud? I've been thinking of doing something with the exhaust on my 2013 5.0 truck, but I don't want it really loud, I just want a low, deep rumble, more of a growl than a scream if you will.
@Justin Miller Theres also the Borla S-Type as well and if you take off the resonator off the S-Type it will give it a vicious sound as well (though not as loud as the ATAK).
@Justin Miller Yes the ATAK is extremely loud but yet has no drone at all but the S-Type would definitely suite you as well.
@@CJColvin Yeah, I'm not really into loud, I outgrew that a couple decades ago lol. I want to hear it, but not to the point I need to be heard a mile away haha.

I love my 2014 5.0 2wd. It has been excellent.
Yep, what my parents referred to Ford's as, Ford fallaparts. They bought a new one in the mid 70s, at just under 2000 miles the transmission was redone under warranty. They were surprised the transmission worked at all as not all the parts were put in at the factory.
yeah but if union workers, they can't be told anything so non-union autoworkers do it better sadly
That's a 70's domestic for you. My dad's brand new Firebird blew up the transmission on the way home from the dealer with a few miles.
Funny, my father says the same about GM. Or as he says, "GM junk."
@@-Ordinary-Average-GuyI herd the same thing. Gm.= Chinese trash
@@-Ordinary-Average-Guy At this point in history they are both right.
Ford F 150 6 speed has a major recall. Shift from 6 to 1st at any time. They had a software upgrade as a patch and then
a conductor plate to solenoid shorting. The output speed sensor having issue on that conductor plate as well. Valve body to transmission seal leaks and cracks so a funky 1st to 2 upshift and downshift due to the low pressure. All of them, especially ecoboost has the phaser-timing chain start up rattle. Good work around is foot on brake, foot to the floor, crank for 6 to 10 seconds for oil pressure to come up, lift foot to start. Nearly half a million 6 speed conductor plates on backorder. From the first date of sale, a 10-year warranty extension on that part. I could only get the conductor plate by buying a new valve body. Much more Scotty on the Ecoboost shudder issue (hydro lock) and a future class action on 2011 to 2014. I have become an expert on those 3.5.
Hey sir, my 2011 Ford F-150 5.0 motor; 6R80. First and second has a funky shift, it slams into 2nd sometimes. Plus I feel like it shifts to early. Anything I can do? Will the dealer check it under warranty for a 118k Ford F-150?

Ok, Vehicles Can't have problems as long as you keep your maintenance up! There's no such thing as a Transmission being a weak point of any vehicle, thar makes absolutely no sense and all of my Fords have well over 200k and one has almost 400k and all the Transmissions still works perfectly fine. Vehicles aren't meant to be gotten rid of and replaced!
Early 2000s Honda's were notorious for having weak transmissions failing prematurely.
Same thing with the Nissan Jaatco CVT's over the last decade. They start breaking even before the 60k mile warranty period.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra bought it brand new Sam transmission no problems Sam engine no problems 23 years been all across the country still going strong

Still driving my 2010 from f150 Lariat 5.4L with 261k miles. Must have been built on a Wednesday as everything originally including transmission but power steering pump. I'd re buy the same year
Had a 2013 Raptor with the V8 and 6 speed tranny. Made a loud clunk sound when putting it in reverse that you could also feel for sure. Anyway, got rid of it after 3 yrs. and extremely low mileage. Ford gave me 45K for it, the same price I originally paid (access cab) although I had about 6K in mods. Driving a 2022 manual tranny Tacoma 4x4 nowadays. No regrets so far.......
likely was something needing adjustment or minor repair
@@jamesmedina2062 - Yeah, perhaps even a u-joint sometimes causes this...
@@frandanco6289Yes U-joints can get loose , create slop. Inside the gearbox something could have seen unusual wear and excessive play. But I agree due to the sound being audibly heard it could be something loose between trans and differential or inside the differential.
Wait Tacoma’s still use manual transmissions?
I thought no modern pickups use manuals
The clunk issue can be fixed most of the time by removing the drive shaft and applying PTFE lubricant to the splined end that goes into the trans output side. The clunk is usually caused by slight binding of the splined end when u reverse the torque flow when shifting from drive into reverse or vice versa.
From my experience with most modern cars (even Toyota's) is you HAVE to change the transmission fluid fairly consistently now - I had the fluid changed in my 2014 Chevy Camaro convertible at around 55k miles from new (and yes it's just a V6 lol), and every 15-20k after that, and at 167k miles today I've never had the transmission rebuilt and it shifts perfect... I did start to get a random hard/sloppy shift at around 145k or so and I dumped a trans fluid additive in it that got good reviews called LubeGard Platinum (~$15 bucks at O'Reillys) and it cleared that up. Had my fluid drained and refilled again about 6k miles ago and used the LubeGard Platinum again just to be safe, I figure after a certain mileage the internals of a transmission will get worn even with good fluid maintenance so an additive is probably good to buy you some time regardless.
The transmission fluid on my Toyota Tundra has never been changed lol. It's currently at 300k miles.

I had heard that CVTs especially require you to keep up with fluid changes.
As a technician myself I agree with Scotty when it comes to "rebuilt" parts. They always seem to have issues after.
Okay I have a 2013 FX 4 with a 6.2 L in it with 214000 miles on it , and the six speed trany in that has not given me a problem, the 6 speed Ford trany are actually good I haven't heard any major issues except they needed to reprogram the shift point on them that's it .

Can confirm never buy rebuilt torque converters. Learned how to pull the transmission from my Jeep to fix a cracked flex plate. Replaced that and put a rebuilt TC from NAPA in it. Drove great for ~20 miles then the engine would stall when coming to a stop, I would have to bump it to neutral or 3 then back to drive for it to not stall. Ended up having Jasper transmissions rebuild the whole thing and came with a 3 year 100k mile warranty
I have a 2012 raptor. My motor blew at 217K when I was beating on it at the Offroad track. My trans was still good and had life left in it. The 6R80 is a pretty beefy and reliable trans
They need to put manual transmissions in the bigger trucks
Are you kidding ! They would ‘t be able to sell them with stick ! Majority of the people have no idea how to handle manual ! I’m cdl A , and half of my younger coworkers in the place I work , have cdl A licenses with automatic only , driving restriction, and it’s so call professional drivers ! So what can you say about just regular folks ?😂😂😂

That's one of Ford better powertrain combo 6.2 with 6 spd, you can't beat that, they are reliable
Gary Ferraro on RUclips is probably the #1 transmission guy on here. Once he goes, I don't know if anyone will be left
Scotty, too many people in this country have been "dumbed down"... and it's not just showing up in automotive, it's everywhere !
I agree! Look at all those people who voted for tRump, TWICE! DUMB!
Agreed 100% brother
People have not been "dumbed down". What you see is just a natural consequence of dysgenic reproductive patterns and immigration.
I'd change the rear main seal while I'm at it too
Love this man
He knew a transmission guy and a differential guy, and now they're both dead. It sounds suspicious because his competition keeps ending up sleeping with the fishes.

I would love to have a Ford Raptor someday. Especially the new Raptor R. Great video as usual Scotty
Goodluck
I bought a 2010 F150 with the triton 5.4 that was supposed to be unreliable with the variable timing cam problems and the 6R80E transmission. Other than the 13 pin connector leaking from transmission, truck has been stellar. Sad to see the quality returning to yesteryears.
Nah don’t listen. Every Ford truck is good. Obviously see that there’s no major issues or recalls before you buy it. My family has been doing that since the model T and we’re still at ford so I think that says something.
11:58 “It still goes like stink.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Hey Scotty I wish I can afford to bring my Gen 1 raptor for you to check it up too...You're the most informative and honest engineers online that I know of ...please one question I got my raptor with 100k miles and almost 120k now, used for only street driving and contemplating if I should change the transmission oil,please advise
Yes, change it. Scott is fear mongering with his false info. Just change the fluid and filter and your trans and it will last a very long time
See he didn’t even care enough to write you back. Get the raptor if it looks mint. You won’t regret it.
@@michaelstevens04 Yeah I guess his too busy making new videos
You can Tell he took Very Good care of his truck...Very clean engine 👍

My 2001 F150 4.6 has 350k and still a daily driver...Did have to swap the tranny at about 250k..New a/c last year..Paid 2500$ 5yrs ago..
There is a recall on the transmission in that year raptor. Has to do with the transmission downshifting and a part in the transmission being replaced.
There was a recall on the lead frame on certain vin numbers.
Not for 2014. Should be, but there isn't.
I’ve heard a transmission tune fixes the issue
Mine was a plastic part that had to do with the throttle body or solenoids for the transmission valve body that was replaced under warranty or TSB.

Since I watch your channel Scotty my son doesn't want to change his 23 yo Honda HRV into a new model. Love you Scotty
2023 HRV? Why would he change a new car?
Finally got the best Raptor ever made, besides the new R version. Big V8's are always better than boosted 6 Bangers , especially the Eco 4 Bangers? Hopefully the darn thing passes your tests?
Agreed 100% brother
You really should have a standard transmission in a heavy off road vehicle.
Yeah i have never understood the use of automatic in heavy vehicle or offroad vehicle. Personally i don't like cars with automatic transmissions at all. I prefer to control the car myself and i like the engine being the only really expensive repair target so i only buy manual.
You get smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon. The transmission shop dow the street from me has been in business since the seventies. They're just a hole in the wall place, but do a fantastic job.
The raptors will always be the best off roading truck.
With the 6.2 1st gen yes!
I want one of those 2010 body style Raptors, The newer one looks nice but doesn't have the V8 like that one does.
I agree 100% brother
Daily is a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8. 160k on the clock and runs 90% new👍 Purchased 4 years ago with 125k miles, one owner. Just routine and proactive maintenance. Exclusive of the thirsty optional factory 5.6l it's enjoyable and reliable to drive. The V8 option was available from 08 to 12 to compete with the V8 4Runner. It was an option that's harder to find.
Pathfinder v8? I only know those to come in 4.0L v6
@@MavHunter20XX From 08 to 12 the 5.6l was offered as a factory option. Blast to drive, basically a Nissan Frontier or Xterra with the Titan/Armada V8 stuffed into it, lol. Starting to become more rare to find.
This has convinced me to find a decent obs Ford instead of a newer one
Agreed, I have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles and still going strong. The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter, the rear fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.
Me, from Craiova (SV-Romania, where the Ford-Otosan factory is)...seeing Raptors everywere here: Buy Ford Puma 2.0!
We make those!
I leased a Mazda 4×4 in 1994 and the only reason I did was they found a manual 5 speed transmission that I wanted. I wouldn't even consider buying anything new without a manual shift transmission, unfortunately they've quit making them. A truck without a manual shift transmission, doesn't get it in my book.
I agree ...manual transmission is more reliable
Ihave😢 that exact truck,same color even. I love it
The cactus on the antenna you should highlight more lol
I like the red Dodge pick up in the background better news for you talking about Ford you’re talking about

Scotty, have you heard anything about the 5.0’s burning oil? My 2020 F-150 has an excessive oil consumption issue.
Hey, I have that same truck...and it's great at 117K miles.
Scotty, please let me know what Autel scanner I should buy, they have so many versions.

That’s not available in the United States cos of the chicken tax.
They get the Toyota Tacoma instead.

Scotty is right about the engins. My 2019 ram has the 5.7 hemi, and my challenger and 300 have the 3.6 pentastar. No turbos or superchargers. Both pentastars gets north of 300hp, and the 5.6 almost 390. That enough for me.

The Fox shocks n struts have to be rebuilt every 50-60K miles, unfortunately.
My 2013 Raptor has 138K miles and runs great.
I did replace the fronts with new Fox struts so I have a set to rebuild. Getting the rears new is impossible. They have to be rebuilt.
Only thing I had to do, besides normal preventative maintenance, was a bad power steering pump. Such a pain lol.
My transmission shifts great n smooth. Love my Raptor.
how much is shock rebuild?
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado v6 and I love it. I'll never go back to a car
Son has had his raptor in the shop for replacement of the cam phasers FOUR times. This is known defect, unfortunately, it is only covered on the trucks up until 100,000 miles, then you’re on your own.
I don't know why Ford didn't stick with the old 5.4 engines. They were super reliable . I get 22 mpg with mine in an elongated E250 Van. The new engines can't match that .

@@jackbottomly4420 You mean the old 5.4L SOHC 2V Triton V8s.
These transmissions only go out due to the lead frame. There was a recall on it, Ford will either replace the lead frame or the entire transmission. I’ve had a 2011 F150 5.0 that had the lead frame replace with brand new fluid. It was a tough reliable truck. Towed my other car on a 30 hour road trip. Drove through lots of inclines without issue. The truck has 225k.
Awesome brother, gotta love the 5.0L Coyote V8. I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 151,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.
@@CJColvin The only issue it had was the common oil leak around the oil pan but other than that it was a good truck. I won’t hesitate to drive across the country with that truck.
The 5.0 motor does sound good with exhaust. Have you had any transmission issue with your truck?
@Michael Sometimes it does shift a little weird (especially when accelerating from traffic lights as soon it turns green) but other than that not any major issues at all man I really love my truck, what Borla exhaust do you have?

Scotty, you talk a lot about turbos going out and not lasting a long time. what about when used with a diesel, like a 2012 powerstroke, like i have?
There's is old thinking that turbos fail and turbos in a diesel are much different. The difference is small and the heat of a gas turbo engine isn't that much higher

My works 2022 f450 10 SPD is already doing the hard shifting. As soon as tow mode is activated the truck will do the 3-1 drop and clunk hard. Dealership says it's "normal". They just say to disconnect battery and reconnect as it's a learning Tranny.
I wish they would just program it to not skip shifts when downshifting
At 4:50, was your neighbor coming over to borrow a screwdriver...??? 🤣😂😅
Years ago I had a Chevy S 10 with the 2.2 L in-line four-cylinder transmission went out I put a low mileage used transmission in it then I started having this vibration felt like the engine was misfiring. My flex plate head cracked. I was so mad at that point That I had to pull the transmission again I did it in two hours. I had bolts and tools flying.😂
Would the transmission last longer if the fluid is changed every 40 or 50 k miles?
Yes
yes its recommended in the user manual normally.
For the most part yes. Fluids get dirty they break down. Fresh fluid is a necessity
Absolutely and if ya don't beat the piss out of them, the train and the engines do actually last.
@@TheBeagle58 good to know. Thoughts on a 2012 Ram? Will it last if maintained and not pushed to the limit all the time?

Hey Scotty, I recently purchased a Ford raptor grill for my 2019 lariat. It is third party I’m little concerned about putting it on because of wire splitting. If I had someone put it on would that void my warranty? Or should go buy one at Ford?
When the CEO of a company announces that company has serious quality issues, the smart consumer looks elsewhere. There are reasons FORD has been, for years, referred to as Fix Or Repair Daily or Found On Road Dead.
