Scotty then didnt fix spark plugs popping out, the Tritons engines are full of problems from spark plugs that brake off, strip the threads out, and the oil valleys for the top end are too small and clog up very easy. They also were bad for cavitation. Any Triton after 2005 is perfectly fine though. I still really like ford, just not those years. There's a reason why you can pick a used one up for $700 that runs and drives anyday of the week.

Luckily, I was on the dirt road when they broke. I tried to back up and the rear end rolled forward and dropped my drive shaft, broke my E-brake cable, both brake lines and egg shaped the hole in my drive shaft for the U joint. I'm about to get it going again and will be glad to have it back. I was considering selling it but it's so easy to work on and dependable that I guess I'll just start fixing the stuff that's neglected on it. Motor is still great but need to replace my valve cover gasket. My 4L60E doesn't like to shift down in a hard acceleration, which gets on my nerves but other than that it runs great.

I bought a 1989 gmc sierra k1500 4 years ago for $1200. Only thing I've spent on the truck is oil changes and a tune up every year. Thats it. The 350 is strong as it was when it rolled out in 89. Love these old gm 90s trucks!

Got a 94 Silverado (1500, 350 Tbi) 340k still runs and tows my trailer that weighs 5k lbs every single time twice a week. I bought the truck ten years ago for $1600 and i am still using it. Those 350's are so indestructible it's mind boggling. Did 1 transmission rebuild at 25k (That was at 166k) and have only done basic maintenance work since. It's been a insanely reliable truck.

Love my old Silverado. I have an 02 Ext cab long bed 4x4 Z71 with the 5.3ltr. It's got 348k on it. Interior and exterior are still in pretty damn nice shape. The paint still gleams. No clear coat issues at all. No rust on the truck at all. Getting the rear seal done next week. It still runs great, but needs some work now(axles & ball joints for sure), but hey, it's got 348k on it and it's 98% original. I'm going to put a few grand into it and run it another 100k. New & used truck prices are INSANE!! It's only a part time vehicle for me now, so another 100k is probably 20 years and I'll be dead by then. LOL
