My LT1 is accepting all 20 year old used procharger donations.
Aarggh.. anything for Canadians ? Shipping be insane i am sure "Shipping is FREE to the 48 contiguous states. Buyers who are not in the (contiguous) 48 states (APO, FPO, HI, AK, PR) are responsible for ALL shipping charges. "
I got those fullway HP108 tires from them. They were good for about a week, then they suddenly had super bad road force and shook the whole car at as little as 20mph. Was not pleased. Good thing they had the 90 day mine brack guarantee
Are we ever going to find out what happened to Voldemort… sorry Peter?
I ordered 4 Fullway HP 266 for my half ton Ram, they look good, ride good and were half the price thanks for the heads up about Priority Tire and the Fullway's. I also took advantage of the 5% military discount.
The guy’s reaction when he ran the van was priceless.
It took my breath away lol. It was so RAD!
“We’re going to fix that belt squeak with the new blower because that’s how you fix belt squeaks” - hilarious! Another great video, sir. Makes Saturday that much better.
Anyone else own or ever own a Corvette? I've had 5 but three were never on the channel. I had two C3 Corvettes back in the day and a really nice 86 C4.
I had an ‘84 with the much-loathed (or much loved by about 14 people) Crossfire injection. While just about every component was well worn, it was a pretty cool summer cruiser. Although, I’ve moved on to LS1 GTO and that is much more fun 😅
I love my 96. Thanks for another great video.
Have a 73 big block, all original
Have an 88 vert. Had the top replaced and replaced the interior. Now have to replace the brake booster & master & slave clutch cylinders. :(
Is the old supercharger for sale? I Have a 92 6spd and a lot of free time :D
🤟 DUDE !!! Getting to surprise ya was so much fun! Can’t WAIT to see the final video on the C4! (And totally sending you a party pulley to turn up the boost! 🎉🎉🎉)
Can't wait!
It was awesome to see you so excited. Too often you see people that make aftermarket car parts and they aren't either true car people, or they are so jaded and everything to them is 'technical and not fun. Great video. If you ever want to procharge a Palisade, let me know. I own mine outright so the bank can't say anything.
You guys make a great duo! Awesome vid!
Party pulley for the win!
Eriks the man, I worked with him down in KC and such a stand out dude. When you mentioned propcharger was coming out I was hoping to see his face. Super cool
Congrats on a million subscribers! You deserve it. You are my favorite car channel on TH-cam. The amount of effort you put into your videos does not go unnoticed!
Appreciate the way you analyze and diagnose a problem...and the patience and positive attitude you show in tackling the problem. What a great job!
Well said. Hear hear.
if it was me, thered be a lot of swearing 😂
Alex and crew, ya'll rock! Thanks for having us.
_Can't believe the 'Pro Charger' guys showed up in Chicago with a 'pro charged' C8. Now you know once Alex gets a taste of that C8 mystique, it's all over with._
Such a great time! Thanks for having us!
I had a ton of problems with my Procharged LT1 TransAm years back... spent more time on a flatbed and being transported between shops and dealerships than it did on the road. When I finally got ahold of the guys at Procharger, they spent a ton of time helping me get things right... they never lost patience and within a month, I finally had the car I dreamed of. Wish I knew who helped me along the way just to thank them.
The Procharger guys are awesome! Great stuff
❤❤
Oh man you are cracking me up! “ This is disgusting!” Lol , “ I am going to do the thing under the dash this is going to suck”! I feel you buddy. C5 owner here 50 th Anniversary Special Edition 2003
💥 HUGE congratulations on hitting the 1M subscriber milestone, Alex! 🚗🔥 Your passion for cars and the incredible effort you pour into each video truly set you apart. It’s been a blast watching you breathe new life into these machines, especially the iconic ones like the Corvette! 🏎💨
I watch your channel thanks for the vids
A Pantera should definitely be your next car… They are a forgotten fast piece of history.. Definitely a car I think you would love and enjoy 🤪 and would definitely be a great candidate for the Pro Charger 🤓
Pantera's are badass! Also, a great band too! Or was a great band.. This new line up is a joke..
Absolutely!! Sadly forgotten piece of americana fastness..Yeah, they were designed in Italy, but can you really blame Ford for using that design? After all, if that design place in Italy designed Ferraris(especially the Countach) how could they go wrong? Right?
@@Pantherjonvideos Americana? Well, they were not only designed, but also built in Modena, Italy. Yeah, engine was Ford and also Ford had rights to sell it in their dealership in US, but the car was import from Italy. And keep in mind, that it was still produced by DeTomaso until 1988, 13 years after Ford stopped selling it in US. Also designer (Tom Tjaarda from Carrozzeria Ghia) had nothing to do with design of Lamborghini Countach (which was designed by Marcello Gandini working at Bertone back then). But definitely you are right that it would be totally awesome to see DeTomaso Pantera in Alex's garage!
@@kubasorama Thank you so much in filling my total lack of knowledge on the Pantera, specifically, and on Italian designed cars in general! I truly appreciate it! Was only based on what one of my OLD bosses told me of his Pantera..And of one of his friends who had a Countach..I guess he just passed his ignorance on to a new generation, and here I had been spewing it too!!..LOL Now, I know more and am better informed! THANK YOU!
@@Pantherjonvideos Maybe he got the false information passed on to him, depending on when this was, there was no internet and therefore he couldn’t look it up online to verify.
I laughed so hard when you broke that bracket, Not to make fun but more of What else could go wrong 🤣🤣🤣
The look on his face was priceless...
I was crying …. Alex been lifting off camera I see 😅😅😅😂
That bracket is for the engine computer mount. I don't know how he got things back together without it.

Im in love with that Corvette. It is such a beautiful car, still today.
A mechanic doing actual job. Thanks for sharing. 👍. Very nice content.
Alex, im only 2:23 in at this point but i gotta say, man your intro game is on point these past couple of episodes!! You really know how to get people amped up to watch the rest man!!
I love watching LSC, Especially when he's workin' on these old vehicles. I've always had a love for automotive content, and LSC just makes watchin' it better
Personally, my favorite Corvette for looks is the C3. Would love to see you get one and perfect it.
Love the Corvette, man you need storage for your " keep forever" cars. Living the American dream, good job Alex, you work hard for it all!
I am going through a different yet similar fight with my Porsche Boxster right now. I am replacing the differential seals and 6 hour book time going on about 24 hours now. "Install in reverse order" is the bane of my existence.
Best part of Saturday morning is watching your videos
You uploading these long episodes on the weekend brings me back to the Power Block shows that CMT used to show on Sunday mornings. Glad to see your other cars getting some attention, I hope the DeLorean progress is still going well behind the scenes.
What a surprise with the C8 delivery. I have a better application for Pro Charger now. Good People. Thanks, Alex! I love the C4
Blurring the speedo on the C8 is hilarious 😂, stay safe guys.
Great video as always.
Epic! 😂 44:30
As always, a quality video and I have to say the pro charger guys were awesome and definitely showed what a quality company and product they have. Awesome.
It’s the honesty of the struggle that makes this all so relatable - love the content
Seeing this car being worked on makes me miss Peter. So sad it had to end, you two had great chemistry.
Man, your videos really give about the best example of what it's like to work on cars😂. I watch and enjoy every video you put out, keep it up!
Love this channel . South side Chicago suburbs here . I live vicariously through LSC . I thought I was standing in the sport car line and ended up in the have a ton of kids line lol . My corvette will probably come right after plaid socks and Metamucil breakfast lol . Keep up the great work and phenomenal content !!
"It's weird...gas cars run better with gas!"😆
Alex is giving the ProCharger guys a true Chicago welcome.
I'd think Alex nailed his lines every time if it wasn't for the bloopers. Poor Max, The hours of editing it must take to make Alex look good. Love this channel.
Alex you should put a pro charger on the Trans AM that would be cool!! And after you get the C4 tuned you should do a quarter mile track day to see what times you get out of them!!
Excellent content, as always. You're my Saturday morning car fix for sure.
So cool Eric’s love and knowledge of cars.
The best procharger commercial ever made!
Alex….LSC is like my adult version of Saturday Morning Cartoons as a kid….I wake up and keep checking YT for your video! Great job! Love the channel.
Oh man. SUCH GREAT content. Love the van, and the C4! Can’t wait to see more on the C4. See you at SEMA, I’ll stop by the pro charger booth! I’ll wear my LegitStreetCars shirt!
Buying a C8 and the idea of timing fitting the kit, is a great idea. Should do a live feed aswell. That would be brilliant.
Love these videos. It's just so....wholesome while being educational and entertaining at the same time. REALLY waiting for the Delorean videos that are upcoming!
Alex, thanks for sharing another exciting video!!! You always explain what you're doing in a way that's easy to understand!!! 👍👍🙂
I love how the C8 has an auto blur mode when the foot goes down, very convenient. 🤣🤣
Great video fun times with Procharger ,really a interesting video ,C4, C8, C2 is the one I own Love my C2
Love your channel. Breaking that bracket made me laugh so hard. Same nonsense happens to me when I work on things. Epic! Keep up the good work.
I'm going to miss the C4 when it leaves the shop - that was such an incredible deal.
Ruby lives! Good work Alex.👍
Congratulations on the 1 Million subs, always something interesting on this channel.
Deff one of my favorite channels right up there with PFI Speed and the Boosted Boiz. Keep up the awesome work brother.
Glad you got to experience the C8! New sub here, been a blast to watch your vids. My buddy has a C8 and it’s such a FUN car to haul in. Def hope you find a salvaged C8 to fix!
Alex, I love that moment when you had the first ride on that sick C8 and you can see how those gears in your brain starts spinning and creating this idea of some day owning one 😂. That would be awesome. When you'll ending buy one. Just saying
Multiple points of sheer laughter. The back fires, and the bracket snap🤣. I work on my own car, and stuff like that would happen to me every time. I’m renowned for my bad ass luck🤣
The bloopers at the end had me clearing my own throat, repeatedly. Well done. Also, for the C8, get the Z51 package anyway... and then Procharge it.
Fun fact. The GM engineer who said "let's make the booster out of plastic" was married to his cousin.
Alex,
On a similar note to the brake booster, I had my coolant fill tank/ reservoir do the same thing. It might not be a bad idea to get another if the booster has cracked. The polymers are hitting that age when they just get brittle. For the brake booster I, regrettably, did not get a metal brake booster, but another plastic one. I do not like kicking the can down the road, but I did not want to embark on a possible retrofit project. Watching this and going through the work I did, I am sad I didn't take the risk of fixing it forever. Also, thank you for showing the true nature of what its like to work on these C4s. Its some of the most efficient packing of mechanical and electrical components I have seen, but fixing one component is such a pain sometimes.
Keep it up!
-Luis
EDIT: It was not the coolant overflow, but the fill reservoir. I believe its the same material as the booster.
Best roller coaster ride of a video. You’re a badass, diagnostic and contortion skills absolutely on point.
Man I love you're vids keep on doing what you love.
Finally the video we have been waiting for 👍
You are the best Alex !! The guys from procharger are so nice. Thanks for yet another great video ! byeeeeee
As always, excellent content!
Keep working out, it seems to help with removal of unnecessary parts 😂
This video was really fun! They always are, but Erik brought another element, like you guys had done videos many times. Definitely need more Prochargers on more vehicles to bring Erik back for more collaborations.
As the owner of a Procharger, put one on my 97 Cobra about 4 years ago, their quality is 2nd to none, and the instruction manual (basically a book...lol) walks you through the entire install easily.
The look on your face during launch control was priceless!!
C4’s are so underrated! Love it!
I was concerned seeing you squeezed so tightly underneath the steering wheel. I don’t doubt your ability to get seriously stuck after seeing the Delorean practically eat your arm
Wow! How much fun was that! C4, van, C8…That’s a dream lineup!! Good stuff, great to watch!
Nothing beats a procharged vette. I have -08 making 620 whp. For the last 9yrs already and still love it🇺🇸🇫🇮
Great video. Pot metal bracket needed trimming anyway. Those Kansas boys don’t mess around. Stock C8-just add boost and it’s a Z06. Put the Z06 up charge into a Procharger, suspension and tune. That’s Legit!😊
Brother, you have the patience of a saint working on this car. I have a 94 and have had to do the plugs several times. Wow what a PITA. Anyway, your hard work is teaching me a lot. Keep it up.
Let's not forget how Randy helped you bid on it!
Awesome as always.Thanls for sharing and taking us along
As someone extremely familiar with 90s GM cars and gen 2 LT1s (I learned to wrench on my 97 Z28), I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing someone learn the pain we went through on these. 😂 Love your videos and your love of cars from our generation, man. Keep up the good work.
I had a 95 Z28 and remembering buying aftermarket spark plug wires for it. I returned them and never did them once I found out you had to remove the whole accessory setup to get the passenger wires out from behind them. Such a pain in the ass car to work on.
@@jasonengland2357 The good thing is that learning to work on cars on that platform has made almost everything else seem easy. First time I did plugs on that I did one side and brought the passenger side to a shop. 😂
@@user-km4ir4tr9k after that and the fact it had been wrecks 3 times in 9 months, I traded it in on a 95 M3, my first German car and that car spoiled me on being easy to work on.
This was awesome. Thank you to Procharger and Alex.
Best Pro Charged vehicle in this video,is hands down the 15 passenger long roof!!!!!
Those repairs you made in the early part of the video were exhausting to watch! All those spark plugs Makes, vacuum hoses, belts etc. Makes one think of the complexity and hundreds of components involved with conventional gasoline powered vehicles.... So many things that could go wrong and may need repairs!... This may be one of the main reasons why EV's are gaining in popularity. You put together some very enjoyable videos... Thank you and best wishes.
C8 are on another lvl. They really stepped up the corvette with the mid engine
Yes man! I just stumbled across the original auction video from like a year ago, i scroll to the top of your most recent video, and the cars right there again! Another video YES!
Yeah, I remember those days crawling into a very small under the dashboard. Luckily, I'm only 5'6, so that made it a bit easier
So happy to see the C4 back on the channel. Literally one of my favorite cars in your stable.
I was just talking about Ruby the other day, glad to see her back on the channel!
HP and torque transforms vehicles, but more importantly, people. It provides smiles for miles.
Good to see Ruby again!
I had a ProCharger on my 96 Silverado and it made a huge difference. It had an aftermarket Cam, Springs, Holly fuel injection, MSD Ignition and the heads were machines ported and polished. All because I didn’t like the way it pulled my dad’s boat and our hunting trailer lol. I would smoke Mustangs and Camaros all the time lol.
I’m so glad I saw this upload when I did! 30 minutes till I go to work, but I have to watch as much as I can😁🤘🏽Absolutely love the videos!!
Best commercials for ProCharger and GM!
I love it when car guys get together!!!
I wish PROCHARGER would do something with FABRATS and MATTS OFF ROAD
I think your next project should be an 89 Turbo TA - the one with the GN engine.
I’m sorry but I laughed like hell when the bracket snapped off. 😮
Been glued to the screen watchin the C4 and the Delorean, both are soo cool!
The Engine Bay is very clean 😀🤘🏽❤️
It shows how good you are when the parts manufacturer comes to you to help you install their product . It shows how in tune they are with their customers. And it great advertising for them. The vet sounds great c8 and c4 , now time to finish the DeLorean and the lightning and your cobra Stang
Gasoline engines inject a lot of fuel on cold start, in order for it to reach its full operating temperature as fast as possible.
If one starts it and right then after shuts it off, a lot of things can happen.
The most common is flooding, where a lot of fuel sits inside the piston. Also, the entire exhaust system may end up completely full of fuel, including the catalytic converter.
Therefore, one shall let it work (at idle or not) for a few minutes before shutting it off.
Alex, please install a good exhaust fan - so you can extract the fumes out of your shop, especially when your cars have "permissive" emissions control systems 🙂
A CO and Smoke alarm would also be good, especially those connected to the internet - so you can monitor it even when you are outside the shop.
Cheers from Portugal!
I love your content, and especially your enthusiasm.
2 corvettes and a VAN❤. More van shenanigans please 😊
I laughed so hard when that bracket broke. Too funny.
So excited for this video! I was wondering what happened with this c4
Man, a blown, flat plane sounds insane!!
What timing! I just bindged this series yesterday and was like what else? Then boom uploaded next day lol
Love the C8, not a huge fan of C4 body style, very difficult to make basic repairs. I believe the C8 maybe slightly easier to repair and maintain due to engine being more accessible.
Thank you for the priorty tire discount! Really needed new tires on my car and just ordered some with your code
Nooo wayyy, yayy Pro Charger!!!! 🤘🏽🔥😀
