I've been an auto mechanic for over 20 years. Many of the problems I see daily could have easily been avoided by simply following the vehicles maintenance schedule. I use a program on my computer called Automotive Wolf car care software to keep track of all the maintenance for my 3 cars, a truck and even a generator. It automatically can send you text message reminders when any type of service is due. Two of my vehicles have over 200,000 miles and have never needed any repairs. Want to save money? Follow your maintenance schedule!

100% agree on Akebono. Akebono’s High Performance brake pads on a 2018 Ford Raptor are an enormous improvement over the factory stock pads. Stopping power is greatly improved, stopping distance significantly shortened, and they wear like I cannot believe. Better yet, their US Headquarters just so happen to be in Tennessee! BTW, I took your recommendation, Scotty, for wipers and added the Bosch Icon 22A and 22B for the truck. They were terrific in today’s storm…like night and day versus stock wipers.

We bought a car listed 5,600 for 4K from a dealer . I kept pointing out all the repair costs the car needed and I’d have to probably pay them a lot to fix it. The sales man kept knocking off the price until 4100. I said go to 4K and I’ll take it. They did and I did all the repairs myself saving thousands. I had 500 into it . Then the wife got hit and it was totaled. The insurance agent kept asking me if it had all these options right down to the paint; yep it was a California edition and the book was 10,500 so we more than doubled our money, but we were out a fabulous car that we could not replace for the money .

And I bought every one of them used, so like Scotty said, someone else took the depreciation loss. My 97 now has 200k on it and my mechanic said the motor is within 2-5% of new specs.

We don't get snow too often where I live in Oregon. So, any time we do have snow, I always see 4WD trucks in the ditch. Evidently nobody here knows how to drive in the snow, and assumes that 4WD will allows them to go 50MPH. I always just laugh as I roll by them in my FWD minivan. That being said, I still have to be careful, because it isn't hard to get the van stuck. Fortunately it's light enough to push in a parking lot when it does happen.

5.0 is a better motor than the 5.4 and I've heard all the horror stories as soon as I say mine has a 5.4 plus time working in an auto shop when the Triton first came out.

@@patoroyal I've got a 2008 with a 190,000. No problems, put plugs in at a 100,000 miles and they all turned out no problem and I change the oil every 3,000 miles and run motorcraft filters. Which I guess they tell me is important because of the anti flow back and bypass valve being on the threaded end of the filter. So in my opinion most of the problems with 5.4's is probably the owners and not the motors. lol

@@steevegmtech7326 I'm love the 5.4 when it's a 2 valve. I put over 330K on a 2004 Expedition with zero issues aside from a ignition coil. As for the 3 valve? Regardless of year, I hear almost every 5.4 3 valve with the tick of doom. It would be easier to count the 3 Valves that I've heard without the tick of doom. I'd happily deal with the two peace plugs, and I'd even tolerate the chain guides going out with higher millage, but those VCT Phasers completely turn me away from every 3 valve 5.4 V8. Most on the road were not maintained perfectly, and even if it's quiet at time of purchase the odds are that it's been neglected and will start ticking in no time. Complete shame since the 5.4 has a VERY stout lower end and a nice, strong and flat torque band.

I got an 04 5.4. with low mileage. When I found out about the trash spark plugs and I had them removed at 76k, only one snapped, newer motorcraft plugs installed. The 5.4 has more issues than Scotty mentions, he tip toed around some big issues with that engine. Good call on using 5w 30, the 5w 20 is for CAFE standards. Better lubrication on these engines is more critical the 1 mpg saving.

Had 330K on my 2004 Expedition and had no issues at all. Everything worked just fine up tell I traded it in. Even the original AC worked. I did have the 2 valve 5.4 though. Only reason I traded it in was because I needed to get rid of it before the timing chain snapped (Timing chain tensioners went out at 275K) otherwise I'd still be driving it.

Outside of normal wear and tear (tires, batteries, brakes, oil, filters) all it ever needed was a pair of front ball joints and a couple of ignition coils. Oh, and it had a faulty oxygen sensor - but that was under warranty, so NBD. Pretty good for almost 19 years, I think.
