Get solderstick at 20% OFF for the next 24 hours! amzn.to/4gCtzlN

[@MrBullettoothwes]

With all your Milwaukee tools, I can't believe you don't have a cordless heat gun

[@tardeliesmagic]

Mate,i don't like your visual intro at 55s. prob the worst visual effect someone could do. Scotty did an awesome one a while ago with his rev counter. I do love ya thou ❤

[@maddog7999]

you forgot the single most important mechanics tool….. the wooden broom handle to find knocking

[@rygoh764]

Have been using solderstick for years!! Love it

[@texsquirrel213]

Solder stick is not coming up with discounted pricing on Amazon using your link. :(

[@willemp6432]

Judging by how many videos you up load Alex, I am just going to say it. You and Max are hard working folk. It is always very entertaining. Thanx to you both.

[@davidt3563]

Dude it's nuts how fast these things are. For the engine to be so old and still put out stupid numbers like this is amazing.

[@kendalltechinc]

Max, love the retro intro! Nice work guys!

[@RUNE-66]

The way it squats every time you're on the gas suggests heavier springs in the back. Great vid mate.😁👍

[@alexandercalderon7098]

Likely from the stereo system

[@carlashton9331]

Papa D and the SHO! Nice cameo.

[@JSMCPN]

I gave up looking for a Typhoon long ago, so hard to find in an decent condition. Love watching you bring this great old truck back to life!

[@ThomasSmith-fo2ff]

Note to Editor: We all know Alex is a car wizard but you also do an amazing job. Watching the outro's really puts into perspective how much work must go into making a good video. Also love the digital 80's theme intro! Great work all around! Can't wait till the next drop!

[@dirwinzzz]

Always enjoy your videos . When I heard you say that installing an aluminum driveshaft would give you more power I thought of what I tell my customers all the time . “ This will definitely give you more power but it may not be measurable “

[@landonwilcox1837]

I feel this, 6 new things to fix every time you drive an old vehicle hard. My ‘91 F350 7.3IDI always has a new surprise for me. The last one was the fuel filter backing off completely out of the blue. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ATCAJ2186]

Finally the poor Lightning got a few seconds of air time 😂

[@tperki2322]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="422">7:02</a>, Alex does an automotive rorschach test...

[@a351must2]

Great that you actually plasti-guaged the bearings ... I re-bearinged a 351W once without checking. Took about 10 minutes for me to realize my mistake when it made 10psi oil pressure on a cold start.

[@zollotech]

Crazy how fast it is being that old. That squat is intense too

[@Master_Mind76]

GM should Bring something like this back... As a engineering combo with Banks ... Typhoon rules

[@ModernMastersAuto]

I need that hair dryer!

[@rustler08]

Thank god it's not another Jeep video.

[@danielhn93]

Oh man, I feel your pain when taking out and reinstalling the front diff. I had to do that to my 1990 S10 and it was not fun at all. Trying to get a wrench into that small hole to hold the nut is a bear because the drag link can get in the way, or the wrench is too wide to fit in the hole, etc.

[@rogerchiu2210]

I cannot wait for the next Typhoon video!!

[@mc1738]

Awesome that you walk through more complex repairs. The bearing swap sounds pretty intimidating but you made it look easy 💪

[@nukedathlonman]

Nice, and glad the crank wasn't shot so the mains could be fixed up so easily.

[@Chronno81]

Always Entertaining & Educational! Awesome!

[@cowboydiecastracing]

Definitely a dream car of mine! A 4 second 0-60 is still crazy fast! Great video!

[@CarswithNash]

Good stuff Alex! Definitely be careful with that lower back, I'm laying in bed in agony currently with 5 dislocated vertebrae, not fun, I'm a year younger than you, so don't assume youth will save you.

[@tjw4947]

Two steps forward one back, such is life in the big city. Great video Alex!

[@MrMarkpark]

Seeing the lightning shed a tear made me laugh out loud

[@Aezetyr]

Always loved these trucks Alex, thank you for getting this one back on the road! Interested in selling when it's all done? No, I didn't think so haha.

[@edwardmtl]

Alex, get an inversion table. The teeter brand is very good. Your back, neck and shoulders will thank you

[@SeishukuS12]

A little hairspray on those intake joints will fix your blowing off problem. No need for new couplers if they're in good shape, especially at the throttle body (it doesn't have any retaining rib).

[@SledgeHammer99]

Might be my fav series so far

[@Arescab]

😂 it’s crazy how quick the typhoon is. Looks like you hit the fast-forward button. 😂

[@alejandroriano3246]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1345">22:25</a> 😂😂😂...hammer fixes everything....but you brought the jack hammer

[@TurbochargedHobbies]

Now you see why i commented on other syclone video about the metal tube in the upper radiator hose. People do that to help keep it from cutting your hose.

[@edlippjr]

Oh Alex... looking up at the dripping old and gunk w no glasses... lol!!!

[@wesroberts4813]

On the dyno the day after you rolled mains. Your either crazy or a great mechanic

[@jonathandeoliveira2108]

For everyone commenting it needs new shocks. My dad has a space blue extreme S-10 blazer. That Alex would loveee With brand Bill Stein shocks. And it’s still like crazy it’s just the nature in the frame of those blazers a lot of torque even on a stock 4.3 plus his has a big stall in

[@FredCreppel]

I love watching ur videos it's awesome how u go into details about stuff your doing it helps understand what's going on and why ur doing it and all keep up the great content sending love from New Orleans Louisiana

[@jasonhovey815]

Great video absolutely love the old typhoons. Can’t wait to see this finished vehicle when you’re done with it. It’s gonna look awesome.

[@alejandroriano3246]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="50">0:50</a> loved the retro intro

[@garyslentzii2796]

All those hoses blowing off could use a zip tie moment

[@juiceplanet147]

Crank could be warped... don't forget to install a bottom end girdle.

[@markpadilla5790]

Man Alex, you look so nervous right before that start lol, I was nervous for u

[@Eatongee]

Suspension next? That thing squats like a dog with the runs.

[@jamesemcclure]

Make sure the draggy is mounted. It flying throw the air when accelerating will effect the 0-60 time.

[@lawrenceengel3330]

That is a sweet little beast! Love seeing this rig getting put into service 🙌

[@edlippjr]

yesssssss - top o' the morning to ya!

[@davidt3563]

Amazing video as always! Shout outs to the sponsors and everyone involved!

[@f.chrisliuzzo7889]

Please do an oil filter bypass delete!!? It’s a 30 dollar part? It’ll save your bearings. The filter bypass spring on the 350 sbc based engines like the 4.3? It bypasses the filter under extreme pressure. But the springs don’t hold well and open the bypass at low pressure? So it eventually sucks debris from oil pan and puts it straight into the bearings.

[@TheWilber09]

I am following up on my comment on the last video. In my case, with a knock after just a few miles on 4.3 that had sat, it ate most of the bearings out of it just like this one.

[@wags9777]

You said Dyno numbers don't mean anything setting next to the guy that owns the Dyno and makes us living from tuning on the dyno

[@PaulTC97]

the squat is crazy, love it

[@LMT069]

fix those rear shocks!

[@lucasefraincarrera223]

Awesome dude I glad you finally got it

[@ModernMastersAuto]

I was secretly hoping you were driving to our dyno 😂

[@andrescoda6079]

nice truck alex!!! greeetings from Argentina 😊

[@generalgreivus]

Maybe go with an ati super damper to try and help the crank live a little longer. Thats alot of torque on that little guy.

[@brooklynluchiano1490]

Check the lifters sometimes when the lifters either get loose or the rubber bearing starts to go out they tend to make a ticking sound

[@MyName-mi8qr]

My only anime was Initial D. Great work video.

[@SortaProfessional89]

Its also super restricted with a stock exhaust.... that has a huge effect on turbo cars

[@oneamericanpatriot108]

Ferrari: We have produced a car which will do 10 second quarter mile... GMC: Hold my beer.

[@HappyPower]

Alex mentioning anime wasn't on my bingo card haha

[@KXKKX]

IIRC, zinc is a wear reducer. It actually increases friction.

[@electrifiedgaming8945]

it actaully reduces friction

[@kevinfricke3915]

I remember those nylon filled caps, also remember shooting caps across the garage when burning them out.

[@chriskakakis1796]

Alex, another great video!!!!!

[@MindCast-YT]

alex whats up man love your channel! if you are looking for a new project any time soon for the channel you should check out an e90 335xi. They're super stout trans/motor and respond crazy to bolt ons and they have a ton of maintenance items that need addressed (a lot of gaskets, plastic parts, hoses, maybe injectors / water pump / hpfp) but I think you would love it. A few mods and a tune (under 2500) you can make 500whp on stock turbos. They have forged crank/rods and the trans can hold north of 700whp auto or manual. If you throw a big single turbo on it they can be insane. I've got a high mileage one I'm slowly bringing back into a decent condition and I love it. Would be cool to see you do the legit street car makeover on one!

[@Simon-ui6db]

the Anne Robinson link just cracked me up. She was brilliant on the weakest link here in the UK.

[@danielstoscup755]

Whether those bearings work or not, it’s worth the try IMO.

[@friguy4444]

LOL. Yup! "Torque, Torque, TORQUE, TORQUE!!! All the way home!". Thaat's the ending of Alex's teasing "Piggies night time story" to his daughters. Except he's already told the story of the mighty "Hurrican" that swept the nasty witch away! LOL.

[@deathbox6226]

My Saturday mornings can't get better

[@scottdunahoo]

Love this build

[@sterlingdabney3691]

Literally the best intros

[@jimbrooks9411]

Right at the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3202">53:22</a> mark u can hear when the ass end drops and it launched, there is a sound of it bottoming out something is def hitting when ya watch it you listen it's def there... Metal on metal sound..

[@markmatteson5921]

I❤ how you have the engine bay all clean and detailed 👍🏼😉

[@kevinthornton702]

Where is your safety glasses

[@McGruff2008]

She squats, digs in and LAUNCHES!

[@nevrcm3261]

major rear end squat...yikes

[@FlexDRG]

Maybe look into stronger springs in the rear to reduce the launch squadding?

[@natepeterson7145]

Help! Fire in the Phoon!

[@jonathanhaynes5365]

Awesome video as always Alex. Also, have you been working out cuz the guns are looking jacked 💪

[@NoGGy]

It's got insane torque.

[@Charly_Dont_Surf]

LotsO smiles per mile! Congrats 🍾

[@Doell600]

That looks faster than 300HP for sure!

[@adamhonda98]

I can't wait for the detail video

[@Rock-N-Balls76]

I said it once I will say it again move the battery back and put an airbox there to build air and works great,

[@mikeerin5031]

I always put heat shrink over the solder sticks.

[@PUBLICnoose]

I was thinking the same thing I would still wrap them

[@danlunn7868]

Center caps look good

[@claysteinbrink9559]

Alex LOL how dare you not replace those half shafts cut it out you just put a brand new differential in there and you don't want the bearings to go bad in a differential then you replace the wobbly ass half shafts LOL my friend good job I love the videos brother

[@federalagenciesarecourtesans]

If the crank isn’t stress relieved it can runout not allowing oil to reach the bearings.

[@salchristiano6606]

Real fun driver

[@nibbzs15]

👂 🦻 wait a minute!!! I still heard the knock when you were checking the motor mounts 😂 nowonder you did 2 ads that motor went boom 💥

[@n84434]

Alex is more infatuated with the 80's than I was during the 80's....

[@BlackLung911]

The UJ removal was certainly no YOKE. 😀😀😀

[@ModernMastersAuto]

What a launch!

[@droberts573]

You really gotta stop drinking that engine oil bub . 😂. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="770">12:50</a>

[@sirremusrobinson1070]

With some of the things that went bad, there 😊😊have to be some things to upgrade.. Hopefully you can find them..😊

[@BigCityBoyyyy]

I always enjoy Alex in his videos but Max's creativity in editing is almost as enjoyable! Thanks Max!

[@jackhinkle1401]

A clogged the EGR port will also cause it to knock. I had that on a TBI 350.

[@jackhinkle1401]

On the 97 2wd blazer is 10 hours to do oil pan gasket and on 4wd it is 6 hours. 🧐 interesting fact I learned at the dealership I worked at back in the day

[@TheCoolDave]

Pretty sick !

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Yooo! That thing boogies!!
