    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!

    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.

    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
    @TheWilber09 Годину тому +1

    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.

    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!
