Ab Remcon I’m sure his take would be the same as mine after seeing way to many Chrysler products in the shop over a 30 plus year time span. Chrysler’s QC has sucked since the 60’s, they have a few great drivetrain components over the years (transmissions are not one of them since the late 90’s) it’s the little stuff that piles up that drives people nuts.

🤣🤣🤣

He should have bought a 1994 Celica.

It is an angle that some enthusiasts take. I'm not 100% sure why Jake chose this way to promote his channel. I have lots of friends in this industry who do the same thing, so he isn't alone. Many of them write for publications with gay in the title or implied.

I thought I caught that? Seems like a cool dude, but I'm not a fan of that either. And I'm not a homophobic type

Agreed. Make it simple. I'm a truck enthusiast. Personal information beyond that is irrelevant. It's agenda driven.

Hey there. It's always interesting when people go to thoughts of sex before like, relationships or simple attraction. Anyway. The point of the channel existing (and the website, Facebook, Instagram) is that there's this stigma - whether it's true or not - that if you're going to be a LGBT car/truck enthusiast, autocrosser, racer, rallycrosser, etc., you shouldn't show up as your whole self to meets and events. Others talk about their girlfriends and wives but it's easier if you keep your boyfriend quiet. Heaven forbid you're trans, some people will just walk away when they find that out. We built this thing because much like someone has to be the first person on the dance floor at a wedding, someone has to be the first person to show other LGBT folks that you can show up as your authentic self and not only be tolerated, but embraced. Not everyone sees the point in that, and that's okay. But if this channel gets to some kid who's a car enthusiast and also questioning their identity, makes them understand "you can be both" and prevents years of struggle or worse, self-harm, we've succeeded. We appeal to the LGBT+ community first and foremost, and the feedback we receive on that end is nothing but positive.

Yeah I didn't and still don't understand this. Maybe Jake will chime in. I don't care either way but it seems over the top here. The two things have no correlation. It's like me going to a a car show and announcing that I like liver.

I'd challenge you on representing straight, middle-aged, pudy dad community. My Dad bod is on point!!! LOL.

@mark I didn’t see a damn parade in this video, the dude ain’t real

^ this is the exact response I was hoping for. LGBT should have ZERO bearing on this video and its content. However, I do feel I have to put a disclaimer for those less mature than others.

It's his gay way of asking for views and follwers and to warn prleople not to standup yo him on anything

@@Pickuptrucktalk Sure, and thanks for the reply. I completely understand why you put the disclaimer. I just don't understand why these things get brought up to begin with. I've never felt the need to tell anyone about my personal life just because my engine broke, I've never considered joining a heterosexual racing group, if there even is one, or felt the need to start one... That's just me.

Nothing, it just generates views and followers.

Civiliansoldier762 lol good one

They do look good though.

No way

Civiliansoldier762 Not that hard to imagine a Chrysler with drivetrain issues.

Honestly!!!! I can't! Not only transmission problems but... electrical, engines, cluster.... should I go on?

Don't get rid of that gem. You'll be sorry

My 2014 crew cab 5.7 4x4 has the column shifter. Drove my buddy's with the knob and hated it. Love my column shifter

The diesels HDs, whether it be with the 68RFE or the Aisin, still feature a column shifter. Anything with the 8-speed is the dial.

Yeah dude hang onto it. New trucks are the devil. Don't get a new thing unless you need higher capacity. Don't downgrade for new. You'll regret it. And if you do buy new, try to still hang onto what you have. My experience.

Eh, you get used to it....but it does suck when ur trying to back up and put it in drive quickly

@guardrail I call BS

@@paulhunter9613 Call it what you want.

In cold Canadian climates people have had problems with the air ride suspension

@Radford Tataryn Oh , I'm sorry... I was talking about air suspension.

^this.

I would, but corona virus and all. Why don't you grab your camera/phone and film it! I'll put it on the channel. Always willing to share knowledge for other folks. We can even do a Skype style interview if it suits you better. Let me know - tim@pickuptrucktalk.com.

@@Pickuptrucktalk I just might do that tim..😁😁😁

My sister also has a 2003 ram 1500 hemi. She bought it used with 120k back in 2011. It has 365k still has original trans. Engine was replaced at 308k due to broken valve spring and buring oil. Really reliable truck. This truck should last you a long time. Maintance is key. Oil change every 5k I use ams oil. Trans every 60k, diff service every 20k, coolant every 100k or 5 years, tune up every 30 to 45k.

Thats a very beautiful F1 pickup you got there brother.

MrInzombia atta boy well said buddy that’s what I keep telling ford bashers. I’ve been a ford guy pretty much my whole life and I love my special edition f150 5.0.

My pops worked at ford engine plant for 35 years was also on the svt team. Guess what i drive?

jrome m A ram?

Well at least its under warranty.

Yeah that’s classic Chrysler, cry me a river.

this is why I never buy the first production year of a all new vehicle u most of the time have some nagging problems

@Steve Silvas yeah that is true but tbh the only truck manufacturer that is reliable lately is Toyota but its just so boring of a truck. Im not the type to keep my vehicles long so i think its worth the risk to get a Ram or even a Chevy but Ford is a no for me. They have the worst customer service imo

Use 5w30 or 0w40 oil instead of water 0w20!!! And noise goes away.

And better resale. I paid 36300 for mine 5.5 years ago I'm considering a 30000 trade in... Just not sure I want to bite the 48000 bullet on the new one

Got 3 tundras at work hauling skid steers and excavators, an 08, 10, and 12...all have over 200k...solid trucks

Organization pays off! Ford came back with, basically, their version of the story and a "no settlement" offer - their take was missing some key facts (i.e. my service visit where the truck stayed for 30 days). I had everything organized and was able to draft a response in an hour as a result. Managed to get the full buyback settlement without ever sitting down for arbitration.

They did update the 3.5 in 2018

@@paulhunter9613 they actually updated the 3.5 in 2017 . My 2017 has the second gen 3.5 and 10 speed auto . Oh and since my last comment my truck has become noisier then ever. I'm getting the dreaded cam phaser rattle at start up... I haven't gone in for the recall yet because it doesn't seem to work. The phasers on the gen 2's are a total fail. They somehow dropped the ball with phasers yet again......I'm in disbelief.

Closet Motorsports 😃

My 2012 Tundra was the worst vehicle I ever owned. Maybe he made a good choice.

Tundra's not really on the radar for most truck buyers.

So ugly though.

@@justinluttrell1769 I literally forgot they even existed when I was half ton shopping. Same with Titan.

Technology consulting by day, but close enough. Lots of PowerPoints and spreadsheets ;-) Thanks!

Wow...that sucks. I have a 2019 1500 Silverado. No problems at all. 8900 miles.

Just goes to show you can score or strike out with any truck you buy regardless of brand.

Thanks!

Riyad And disease...

I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 138,000 miles and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.

Glad it was helpful!

Oil burning is the subject of another TSB... thankfully mine only had the ratcheting issue. The pre-2018 5.0s were excellent.

@@OutMotorsports I would disagree. The 2011-2017 also consume oil. Cylinder #8 has issues with insufficient cooling. Running a tune or towing heavy and that cylinder can over heat and score cylinder walls. 80 000km (50k miles) and it needed timing chains and cam phasers replaced, and a leaking water pump.

It doesn't really matter because all our choices suck in one way or another. It's laughably depressing. 😃

Know what my favorite truck has been? An '86 Ford diesel single cab 4 speed manual. It's ugly, old, slow, basic, reliable, and easy to fix. I drive it just about every day while a 2018 Ram 3500 dually mostly sits.

Not bad for 800k miles!

Crash test ratings are part of the buying process, however, I'd argue, with most trucks really improving over the years to be similar, it isn't THE decision maker for most.

Use 5w30 or 0w40 oil instead of water 0w20!!! And noise goes away.

Have you not read the comments on this channel? I was being preemptive.

Ram is rusted after 5 years and nobody want it you cannot even install a plow because the front end is too cheap and if you put a atv in the box the rear end bottom out… my Dakota was better hauler than my ram and now ford is better than my ram also

Your funny traded my Toyota to many problems

They all have issues

I'll never end up at Toyota! When and if my 251,000 mile plus Ford gives up, I'll get another Ford! My parents had plenty of foreign crap throughout the years Toyota, Subaru....nothing but problems...no thanks! It's Ford for life for me!

I love the Sport appearance (generally not a fan of much chrome)! The Range Rover was easily one of the best and most reliable vehicles I've had. Bought it at 94k miles, sold it six months later with 105k. Nothing went wrong and everything worked. If I had kept it, I'd eventually need to address the (very light) leak from the steering rack. The 2007-2012 Range Rovers and LR3/LR4 are awesome vehicles and tend to be fairly reliable. Jaguar V8s, ZF automatics, Eaton superchargers, Bosch electronics, and random Ford and BMW parts. I'd have another one yesterday if I had somewhere to park it.

@@OutMotorsports Ah okay sweet. It's a lot of miles. Good to hear it's all going well. And that Sport package is popular around here where I'm from. Looks better than the new ones in my opinion

Hmmm, a low mileage Ram and it needed a new transmission and he’s ok with that? I really like all these new pickups but they really seem like junk. I’m very reluctant to to spend so much money on a new pickup only to have issues with it. The big 3 seem to all have problems. Maybe I wait for the new Frontier or wait on the Ranger to see if it has serious issues. Used vehicles seem to be a crapshoot as well even with a ppi.

There is nothing wrong with either one if you get someone that knows what to do. Have alot of miles on 5.4. Have alot on the EcoBoost too and out tow the dodge.

hdz12ez yes some of the 5.7 Hemis are having this problem but it’s at around 100,000 miles. The 5 litre is having issues at bran new

Yeah, I knew about the camshaft concern. Truck only has 46k on it now and is CPO'd for the next 3 years or 'til 100k miles. Given my car-ADD, I suspect that'll cover me just fine, should anything happen. From what I read, the issues are largely with the earlier Hemis and mid-2015ish saw some parts updated to help avoid this?

@@ES-pr8bt agreed.

@@OutMotorsports If I'm not mistaken I think people are going with the hellcat lifters and the MDS delete. I guess those are a higher quality lifter.

Sentrell Rodriguez My 2005 Ford Escape with 132000 miles can drive just fine in 15 degree weather when the engine idles at 2000 rpms because of how absolutely freezing it is and it doesn’t make a sound. This brand new truck shouldn’t be having an issue either. But unfortunately all these automakers actually make these days is over complex junk.

@@francesco1998 i wasn't saying its a weather issue i was saying he should've waited for the vehicle's engine to reach operational temps before driving. But i do agree No manufacture makes vehicles how they use to from the mid to early 2000s and the 90s. I would sacrifice all the bells and whistles, trims & horsepower that these new cars brag on to have the Reliability that cars from when your escape was built

Sentrell Rodriguez It doesn’t matter what the weather was I’m just putting it in there to tell you how cold my engine runs. In case you didn’t know weather temperature affects the temperature of the engine. My almost 16 year old freezing cold engine runs perfectly fine but a brand new Coyote can’t? Ridiculous.

@@francesco1998 i know exactly how weather effects the motor thats why im saying he should let it warm up. if you run a motor ice cold you're gonna run into issues & no its not gonna sound normal. Those new F-150s have active grille shutters to let the engine warm up quicker ford didnt do that for no reason let the thing warm up.

Sentrell Rodriguez I never run into issues on my 05 Escape, 2012 Grand Caravan, or 2015 Grand Cherokee when I run the motors cold, freezing cold. Ford puts those shudders on for efficiency reasons, it gets better MPG’s on highway and it’s more efficient to heat up faster. They didn’t do it because they feared it would make noises when cold, it shouldn’t do that anyway. Don’t defend junk dude, automakers need to start building these things proper if they’re going to be shoving all of this tech into them.

Try adding some oil..

@@paulhunter9613 lol. No. Some do it and some don't. And it comes and goes. Ford's are inconsistent and mostly unreliable. I hope to not have one again ever
