Welcome to the LSC family Marvin! Condolences on your mother, bro. I lost my mom in July and still feeling the loss. Enjoy the old Pontiac and the rebuild video!
Rad brotha ... It sounds like it's gonna be a sick rat rod or resto , idk how you feel on builds , but either way , congrats, brotha 💯 💪🏽.. condolences to you as well, broski , keep at it, fam , and let us know when ya got some progress on that rad machine 💯
@@mastercricket7626 It's going to be a restowith the cars history it's the only way to go. You can catch Progress on my channel HOGG BROTHERS GARAGE. I have a couple vids up now. THANKS!
One of the only Car channels who goes to work instantly and give full content for more than just 15 minutes. This is why i love this channel so much. Is just "Here the car... 10 seconds... Let's work on it right now" and then 45+ minutes of pure working. I love your channel Alex.
Because I used to read the low rider publications in the 1980s, I've always wanted one of those to become a low rider from the 1990s, so I'm thrilled that your typhoon is in such wonderful condition.
In regards to the 10mm socket you found, I’m not sure how normal the occurrence is, but when I was working through my Blazer, I dropped one that fell and bounced around until it got itself into the frame tubing that the bumper mounts are mounted on. Which made for a very interesting discovery for me, to say the least. I found a telescopic rod and hot glued a small neo magnet on the end, to try and fish out my 10mm. Well, what I pulled out the first 3 times weren’t a 10mm. Instead, I pulled out some random and strangely large, yet very short bolts, that I’m still unsure what they could even be from to begin with. The next time I tried, I got my socket but, I was not done yet. Had to verify that there wasn’t anything else at that point. Pulled a couple more identical bolts out, and of all things, an original rubber tired Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra that was only made in 1988, 2 years after the model of the truck. So I could only assume, it was from the original owner and that his kid had been playing around and either intentionally hid, or accidentally dropped the car down into the frame tube, to not be seen again until I went fishing for my 10mm.
Awesome! But @14:02 I'm surprised you don't have a fluid evacuator. Suck the fluid out from the dipstick tube before dropping the pan. Saves a ton of cleanup time. I keep an evacuator just for trans fluid, when modding valve bodies or modulator and the pan has to keep coming off I'll even re-use the fluid.
I’ve never been more excited for new videos than this series. I always wanted a syclone or typhoon as a kid. Now I get to live out my dream through Alex.
Back in my Navy days, a brand new 1989 Chevy Blazer S-10 was my very first car purchase. This whole series has me thinking about how much I enjoyed that truck. Alex...GREAT job (as usual)!!
24:47 - that ABS module is big like an old Radio Shack Tandy computer👀 34:15 - or dog leg 46:56 - the vibrations could be from the old brake rotors too. Good video as usual Alex💪🏆
Heat is one of the biggest killers of a trans and having adequate cooling is paramount, provided there's room, a dedicated cooler is worthy upgrade. Having pulled the pan on the trans, upgrading to both a Sonnax corvette style servo and 2-3 shift valve mod would've been a good/cheap upgrade...the 1st increases the servo apply area by about 30 percent over stock and the 2nd offers a marked improvement in durability. Using the shift valve modification and putting the shifter in D3 (rather than overdrive) applies the over-run clutch in the first three gears, which improves durability by not abusing the input sprag. In the std configuration, the over-run clutch is only applied when the shifter is in D3 after the transmission upshifts into Third gear.
You have to be careful with dedicated trans coolers. The vast majority of them are undersized for the job. Most radiator (water) coolers take a lot more heat out of the transmission than a dedicated (air) cooler. Unless you have room for a very large one, it's better to stick with factory - even more so in this case because Alex has sourced an up specced aftermarket radiator. I doubt he'd gain anything by running a dedicated cooler.
Lol, I did too .I can say that is the first time I have seen that happen 😅 and I mess with built cars almost daily 😅 so that was deff one for the records ... and Alex can deff say he has done something basically no one else has 😅..
18:31 When I was 16 I had a 1997 GMC Jimmy, the rear diff cover was rusted through and leaking so I wanted to replace it. Well when I ordered the new one, I realized there was no fill/drain plug. Took me forever to find the fill over by the driveshaft yoke (This was before Google 😅) and I had bought a regular quart of gear oil (squeeze bags didn't exist) and I didn't have a pump so ended up getting the pump off of a hand soap dispenser, 😂😂 the gear oil was so thick I bet it took me an hour just to get a quart in. Didn't help it was in the middle of winter, and I didn't have a garage, so I was just laying out on the freezing ground pumping gear oil lol great times.
Alex. I'm jealous. No not of your car collection although maybe a little of that too lol. But I'm Jealous of your tenacity and energy. Your focus and efficiency. You're incredible to be able to work so hard and get the results you get! THANK YOU!! You are in all reality an inspiration to me and MANY others as well!!
I love how excited you always get. You have some big power & badass rides, yet you're like a kid at Christmas with every new toy you work on. Your smile & reaction is priceless. It's obvious you love what you do & I look forward to every episode. Thanks Alex.👍
Alex on gm cars with no plug, and ford. If you leave yourself 2 bolts on the front and rear corners on the side you're going to stand when you bring the pan down, you loosen those bolts but don't remove them, the rear one you only bring out about half way, then, let the pan come down on the far side, it'll use the bolts you left in to keep the pan higher on your side vs the side you took all the bolts out of keeping you dry.
I got my 93 Typhoon used with 2230 miles back in 94. Insane power but heat soaked almost after one good pull. Did quite a few mods that were available back then. Best thing is to delete the factory self leveling shocks in rear, delete that pump and put in Bilstein adjustable all the way around. Added rear sway bar, upgraded intercooler and pump to high volume. Had it for 8 years and did quite a more updates as they became available. Note these engines came out with a 2 bolt main..... To get any real HPs out of them need to go with a four bolt main. Was by far my favorite ride I ever owned. Good memories to see one getting revived with the joy these trucks provided. 😉 That factory transmission should have been banging 2nd and 3rd as it had a factory shift kit and shifts should have been more pronounced than what this video provided due to you not "Getting on it"...your gonna love this truck. 😁
Alex, with all that blasting and painting lately... You should look into a product called "Steel-it" its a weld through paint/primer in a rattle can. Great stuff!
I almost bought a Typhoon in 2002 but ended up going a little more practical and bought an extended cab Silverado. The Typhoon was around $15k and the Silverado was $13k. Biggest reason for me going for the Silverado was the bed. Not to mention passenger room. I had three kids and the Typhoon would have been one seat short for me. Right now, I'd really like to have a Syclone.
Great content on a truck a real person could still own, I love it ! Your explanations are spot on, with really good filming and editing, and real results. You also make mistakes, and still show them, as that is how we learn !
Love the intro, love the channel, love the content, it’s the best way to start a weekend after cooking family breakfast! Thank you for the entertainment!! I rely on guys like you because I cannot stand television!
They make big rectangle add-on drain pans that temporarily sit on top of your existing bucket. It's awesome. It has channels & grooves molded into to help with draining. (( stiffens the plastic at the same time )) Plus, it's easier to see if fluid has deposits or anything in it.
Im a heavy equipment mechanic, and i work on a lot of 40 ton dumptrucks that haul salt in the winter. Watching this with envy... If I see little screws like on the starter, I give up before I even try to get them out. I start by heating fasteners cherry red and plan on replacing everything. Spent 3 hours on Friday trying to remove the crankcase breather on a Cummins ISC 8.3. It ended up getting cut apart after one of the screws took the plastic mounting ear out with it. Most of the mounting bolts broke off, except for one which took the threaded insert out with it. The bolt shanks that are still stuck in the head are a Monday problem. I will double up on nuts and weld them on to hopefully back them out.
Alex is outliving all the other YT car Chanel’s with his great content, solid car hunt adventures and more. Supercar content is over sensationalized. This truly is “Legit” 👍🏻 Thank you Alex 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Watching service on this takes me back to auto shop in highschool.This is what we called bought not built back in the day and only rich kids had these .So we would do the service and do burnouts up the street to make sure brakes were working .Love to see this in the hands of someone who is going to use it .
Aluminum is easily cut with a sharp carbide tipped circular saw blade. The result is a dead straight cut without the rough edges you get from a cut-off wheel.
I learned what triple tested means today started 3 times lol. GM use to put drain plugs in transmission pans but what i was told at GM training center was people were draining the fluid and not replacing the filter causing early transmission failure
And I'm really happy that your typhoon is in really good shape cuz that's my 80s dream car cuz I've always wanted one of those to turn into a low rider from the 90s cuz I used to read the low rider magazines back then
Hey Alex when I connect wires I use three pieces of heat shrink. On over each wire I connected and then one larger one over both the heatshrinks I just shrunk but I make it longer so it also covers the sheath that covers the original wire. Hope that makes sense. Looks clean and you don't see the sheath under the sheath that holds both wires
Love the videos and the information I get from them all. I watched you blow out transmission cooler lines in this video. Have you ever heard of T-tech machine? I was a auto maintenance shop owner and that machine was the best purchase I ever made. It's a torque converter flush machine that works like a dialysis machine for trans. Replaced every drop of fluid to the exact level it was and also has a transmission pan suction pump so no mess ever drain plug or not. Being you do so much of what I used too do i would recommended checking it out.
Sir a great investment is one of the dipstick oil pump , have one for my boat oil changes but I have used it twice to pre empty my transmission oil pan! So much nicer than making a mess
keep an eye on the trans fluid level transfer case fluid. had one back in the day that would push fluid from trans to transfer case when i ran it hard was craziest thing
2 minutes in I’m thinking “geez, they’ve really stepped up the editing quality, and that new intro is just sooo rad!” This channel is my absolute favorite on TH-cam!!! The Typhoon is coming along so well!!! Thanks for sharing!
14:21 you can take a plastic lid off a garbage can and cut holes in it. You can also take one of those plastic sponge mats and put that in it to prevent any spray
That Applied Technologies wastegate is straight out of the 90's! I visited their facility right before it closed. They made some nice stuff back in the day.
I'm pausing at the battery part to say: agreed, i learned the hard way too recently. Was working on rebuilding my TBI unit in my 1990 S10 pickup and as I was loosening a few bolts, my flexible ratchet slipped from my hand and touched the exposed positive terminal on the alternator, so it ended up welding itself to it and the intake. I had to knock the dang thing off with a lot of force, but that was probably the scariest moment I had. ALWAYS, disconnect negative before working.
Power probes are super sweet. if I’m not mistaken, I was only half paying attention to that part when you tested the pump, but… when you have the plug, unplugged, you need the ground lead to test if the pumps actually bad, I’ve done that a time or two myself over the years. It’s a real easy oversight. But on that truck working or not I’d still replace it also just because. I really like that on your channel you tend to use dealer or factory parts as much as you can.
I was really hoping for a proper iroc project(not a junk rust bucket). But with the tech design and physical design of the typhoon, I think this series with do just fine! Absolutely love the typhoon
I know it is common to delete the ABS on these, however I never had a problem on my 93 Bravada (250k miles). It was an effective system and I loved to hear it moo after every start up.
Your radiator brackets are so creative! You are so smart! I love your attention to detail in everything you do. I literally stood and clapped because of the brackets 😂
Alex the reason the transfers case was over filled is the seal separating the transmission and transfer case is bad. The pressure from the transmission overcomes the seal, pushing into the transfer case. That’s why the transfer case was over filled and therefore the transmission is probably low. Just a heads up hopefully you take care of it. Lovin the typhoon content!🙌
In the movie Toy Story, remember when the mean little boy Sid next door wakes up in the morning and says "Oh yeah!", because he remembers it's time to go play? That's me on Saturday mornings when I wake up and remember there's a new Alex video to watch this morning! "Oh yeah!" 😊
I clicked on the notification so fast let’s goooooo !!! Also I think I’m the spirit of boosted factory GM Cars you should find a cobalt SS there pretty cheap to find and build and I think it would be another cool build series
Man, the amount of work you put in and the details... Every time I watch your videos, from time to time I look at how much is left until the end and I don't want it to end. If TH-cam comes up with a double Like button, I'll definitely smash it. 😆
For trans drain pans next time don’t take all the bolt out. Break 2 free but leave them in after undoing them 1 rotation, pick 2 that are opposite the shortest side of the pan. Next break the trans pan gasket seal usually at the narrowest end of the pan. Fluid will usually come out that end in a semi controlled manner and as the fluid slows continue to undo the bolts it will let the pan hang lower letting more fluid out.
I blast every bracket in my car as I rebuild it. It is so therapeutic. I recommend powdercoating the brackets though. It's may more resistant to scratches and cleaners.
Nice work and great video. Thanks for showcasing the up-side of hoarding...(the "keep that, I might need it later" mentality). Also...I'm just not sure about turbo blankets that ignite that easily...I mean...that was a sustained fire that could do some damage, or spread to other engine components.
The one thing I can say is I believe people watch your videos because they can tell you love what you do. That's what makes these videos worth watching. Also you can learn a lot about vehicles because you literally rebuild everything...lol
12:45 I work at Orillys and if our starters say triple tested that means that we go through and test them 3 separate times. Not all say it it’s when we have time
That original intake is pretty similar looking to the one on the 4.3 vortec in the s10 blazer, routed differently of course, but it was one of the first things I changed lol, being a kid who didnt know very much at the time. But I have seen some of these with a factory look but def a much increased size. But I gotta say this is one of the reasons I love your channel, you go the extra mile to make these vehicles better while keeping that factory look, you care about the presentation, the background knowledge, the upgrades and removing the hackery that you might find. It's so awesome to watch. After you did that brake fluid test I was wondering if you could use a multimeter to do it. I looked it up and I guess you can.
Hey Alex love your work. Just a recommendation to check your audio settings my speakers crackle when you talk or if music comes on. My headphones do it too and checked for everything and yes it is only on your videos. Take care! Keep having fun with your dream cars and let us keep having fun with you too.

There are a couple places online that sell the brake fluid tester Alex. Just search for Habotest HT663L.
What does the new brake fluid says?

Very true-
One of the only Car channels who goes to work instantly and give full content for more than just 15 minutes. This is why i love this channel so much. Is just "Here the car... 10 seconds... Let's work on it right now" and then 45+ minutes of pure working.

I feel the same. I hate channels that have 45 minutes of talky talk and 15 minutes of actual wrenching.
Yep, a brief reminder.
And it’s educational at the same time
Because I used to read the low rider publications in the 1980s, I've always wanted one of those to become a low rider from the 1990s, so I'm thrilled that your typhoon is in such wonderful condition.
In regards to the 10mm socket you found, I’m not sure how normal the occurrence is, but when I was working through my Blazer, I dropped one that fell and bounced around until it got itself into the frame tubing that the bumper mounts are mounted on. Which made for a very interesting discovery for me, to say the least. I found a telescopic rod and hot glued a small neo magnet on the end, to try and fish out my 10mm. Well, what I pulled out the first 3 times weren’t a 10mm. Instead, I pulled out some random and strangely large, yet very short bolts, that I’m still unsure what they could even be from to begin with. The next time I tried, I got my socket but, I was not done yet. Had to verify that there wasn’t anything else at that point. Pulled a couple more identical bolts out, and of all things, an original rubber tired Hot Wheels Shelby Cobra that was only made in 1988, 2 years after the model of the truck. So I could only assume, it was from the original owner and that his kid had been playing around and either intentionally hid, or accidentally dropped the car down into the frame tube, to not be seen again until I went fishing for my 10mm.
@31:05 - drill out the 90* corners BEFORE you use the zip disc, and you'll get a nice radiused corner, with no cut overlap.
Awesome! But @14:02 I'm surprised you don't have a fluid evacuator. Suck the fluid out from the dipstick tube before dropping the pan. Saves a ton of cleanup time. I keep an evacuator just for trans fluid, when modding valve bodies or modulator and the pan has to keep coming off I'll even re-use the fluid.
You're killing it on the content and the video edits. Best car channel on TH-cam and a great way to start a Saturday. Cup of coffee and LSC!

Same here. Those are rare😢
The fact that Alex only buys cars he's wanted for years is the secret sauce of the channel. Enthusiasm abounds here at LSC!
Our vehicle tastes are identical. Im vicariously repairing through you. Thank ya sir!

Transfer case probably wasn't overfilled but rather the input shaft seal is allowing the fluid from the transmission to enter.

14:21 you can take a plastic lid off a garbage can and cut holes in it. You can also take one of those plastic sponge mats and put that in it to prevent any spray
Pig mats is the name i can think of
The s10 blazer was a childhood favorite for me. I absolutely love this series! Thank you Alex.
Alex, I love the attention to detail you take, even if no one will ever see the hard work you put in. Keep em' coming!
Keep that truck forever. Keep it rust free and it will never die.
That Applied Technologies wastegate is straight out of the 90's! I visited their facility right before it closed. They made some nice stuff back in the day.
I'm pausing at the battery part to say: agreed, i learned the hard way too recently. Was working on rebuilding my TBI unit in my 1990 S10 pickup and as I was loosening a few bolts, my flexible ratchet slipped from my hand and touched the exposed positive terminal on the alternator, so it ended up welding itself to it and the intake. I had to knock the dang thing off with a lot of force, but that was probably the scariest moment I had. ALWAYS, disconnect negative before working.
Special thanks for the power and hand-filing of that battery tray. Just what my nerves needed right now
Power probes are super sweet. if I’m not mistaken, I was only half paying attention to that part when you tested the pump, but… when you have the plug, unplugged, you need the ground lead to test if the pumps actually bad, I’ve done that a time or two myself over the years. It’s a real easy oversight. But on that truck working or not I’d still replace it also just because. I really like that on your channel you tend to use dealer or factory parts as much as you can.
You’re my favorite auto tech channel on TH-cam bud. You’re thorough and fun to watch. 👍 I love the typhoon project!
Alex..... remove the transmission dip stick and use a fluid extractor. Works everytime when I work on these gm's.
I see that wide body conversion and wheels in the background! 👀
Saw that too, can’t wait for that episode
Thanks for sanding the garret logo. Looks so good. Appreciate your videos. My go to every Saturday morning
Speaking out what your thinking is why I love this channel, keep up the level of detail!
That sling blade edit with the 10mm socket was perfection
I was really hoping for a proper iroc project(not a junk rust bucket). But with the tech design and physical design of the typhoon, I think this series with do just fine! Absolutely love the typhoon
You're so thorough, Alex. I'm surprised you didn't cut the legs off the zip ties for the new electric fan harness
I wanna thank you Alex for providing me some DAD - SON time with the episodes .
I know it is common to delete the ABS on these, however I never had a problem on my 93 Bravada (250k miles). It was an effective system and I loved to hear it moo after every start up.
God those giggles when you're driving it 😂❤ Everyone needs car that can make you feel like that
Your radiator brackets are so creative! You are so smart! I love your attention to detail in everything you do. I literally stood and clapped because of the brackets 😂
Alex the reason the transfers case was over filled is the seal separating the transmission and transfer case is bad. The pressure from the transmission overcomes the seal, pushing into the transfer case. That’s why the transfer case was over filled and therefore the transmission is probably low. Just a heads up hopefully you take care of it. Lovin the typhoon content!🙌
Yay my Alex-Inspired OCD regarding the Garrett logo has been cured in the first minute and fifteen seconds!
I love my 4.3 dd, so much torque for a tiny truck. Can't imagine it boosted.
In the movie Toy Story, remember when the mean little boy Sid next door wakes up in the morning and says "Oh yeah!", because he remembers it's time to go play? That's me on Saturday mornings when I wake up and remember there's a new Alex video to watch this morning! "Oh yeah!" 😊
I clicked on the notification so fast let’s goooooo !!! Also I think I’m the spirit of boosted factory GM Cars you should find a cobalt SS there pretty cheap to find and build and I think it would be another cool build series
Man, the amount of work you put in and the details... Every time I watch your videos, from time to time I look at how much is left until the end and I don't want it to end. If TH-cam comes up with a double Like button, I'll definitely smash it. 😆
For trans drain pans next time don’t take all the bolt out. Break 2 free but leave them in after undoing them 1 rotation, pick 2 that are opposite the shortest side of the pan. Next break the trans pan gasket seal usually at the narrowest end of the pan. Fluid will usually come out that end in a semi controlled manner and as the fluid slows continue to undo the bolts it will let the pan hang lower letting more fluid out.
I blast every bracket in my car as I rebuild it. It is so therapeutic. I recommend powdercoating the brackets though. It's may more resistant to scratches and cleaners.
Nice work and great video. Thanks for showcasing the up-side of hoarding...(the "keep that, I might need it later" mentality). Also...I'm just not sure about turbo blankets that ignite that easily...I mean...that was a sustained fire that could do some damage, or spread to other engine components.
The one thing I can say is I believe people watch your videos because they can tell you love what you do. That's what makes these videos worth watching. Also you can learn a lot about vehicles because you literally rebuild everything...lol
12:45 I work at Orillys and if our starters say triple tested that means that we go through and test them 3 separate times. Not all say it it’s when we have time
Best LSC series IMO. Thanks Alex!
That thing definitely found a deserving owner. Nice work Alex
Man alex you did phenomenal on that engine bay! You attention to detail is so satisfying 🙌🏼🤌🏼
Typhoon videos go by so quick, very entertaining! Thank you for sharing
You want the syclone version? Same situation, sitting in the garage(basement) for 20 years, in nowhere Ohio. New transmission even. Hmu Alex!
This is nice watch for sure no bs just straight forward working.
That original intake is pretty similar looking to the one on the 4.3 vortec in the s10 blazer, routed differently of course, but it was one of the first things I changed lol, being a kid who didnt know very much at the time. But I have seen some of these with a factory look but def a much increased size. But I gotta say this is one of the reasons I love your channel, you go the extra mile to make these vehicles better while keeping that factory look, you care about the presentation, the background knowledge, the upgrades and removing the hackery that you might find. It's so awesome to watch. After you did that brake fluid test I was wondering if you could use a multimeter to do it. I looked it up and I guess you can.
Hey Alex love your work. Just a recommendation to check your audio settings my speakers crackle when you talk or if music comes on. My headphones do it too and checked for everything and yes it is only on your videos. Take care! Keep having fun with your dream cars and let us keep having fun with you too.
By far my favorite build/resto series on TH-cam yet!
A few dips in plastidip black on your radiator bracket will keep the vibration from chewing into the radiator...
