Here's Everything That's Broken On the Cheapest Plymouth Prowler In The USA 

“Thank you Chrysler” 30 seconds later “Screw you Chrysler”

The Wizard: "I would definitely fix it all" Hoovie: "Of course, you're getting all the money"

These two are a riot. What an enjoyable program!

Being from Massachusetts, whenever i see him lift a car and it’s spotless underneath I feel nothing but pure rage

I wonder if the Wizard ever feels like a crack dealer with only one customer.

"I can still pull it and get it up for now" Hoovie 2020

Hoovie: We're heading to the car wizards... Also Hoovie: Immediately drives past the car wizards shop Lmao 🤣

12:58 😅 always love when they head into the Wizards office and he is surfing for something to buy just before presenting the estimate. Thanks for the laughs Hoovie and Wizard.👍

Wizard is the most wholesome person of all time.

I wish we had a wizard like that over here. Super laid-back, no nonsense, and brilliant mechanic. You just know you can trust this man.

Wizard wasn’t messing around I looked up the price of a window regulator and it was $1300 from Mopar ouch.

I love how pretty much 50% of the Wizards business is from this dude.

"I can still kinda pull it and get it up, for now." - Tyler Hoover

6:23 Wizzard says "You don't need to rev it." Wizzard means "Don't deafen me by revving it with my stethoscope on."

Change the timing belt and water pump ASAP!! That leaking coolant might be the water pump, which could be a sign of imminent catastrophe!! I've posted on the previous Prowler video on how the water pump (which tends to leak around 80k miles or after a certain age) was THE reason for the notorious 2.7L sludge issue.. it's the same water pump for the 3.2L and 3.5L which leaks coolant and could eventually seize, which would snap the timing belt (this is an interference engine, you can understand the urgency). Change it every 80k or seven years, and it's a 300k+ mile engine easy. Per the theme, it's a cheap and easy solution to an otherwise very long-lasting engine. Transmission, since it has a cooler, should be pretty stout, too. Neat vehicles.

Imagine being the wizard 🧙‍♂️. Rents due. Business is slow. Bills piling up. He kneels in the corner of his shop and prays “dear lord please help me out. I need a miracle” And then he’s interrupted by a knock on his shop door. There’s a kid named Tyler who asks “hello sir do you fix cars?” That will make anybody believe in god.

13:20 No Hoovie, calling € pounds instead of euros is what will really piss them off. 👀

14:20 - A little advice (Seems like I've given allot on this car so far, huh? Well I do work on Chryslers for a living), do both the idler pulley for the serpentine belt that was bad, and the one for the A/C belt. Well worth the extra expense, and you might as well do both belts at the same time, they have to come off anyway to replace the idler pulleys. Also check the repair history if you have it, see if the timing belt and water pump have been done. If not, do them both! It will be tighter to do in a Prowler, but what would rather spend, the parts and labor on a timing belt and water pump, or the parts and labor for an engine when the timing belt breaks and the engine bends the valves?

Keep posting Prowler content would love to see more on these cool cars. I loved how Chrysler was willing to take chances and try things other companies were unwilling to do. The Prowler and Viper were ahead of their time. I guess in some ways the Hellcat and Dodge Demon carry on that tradition in some ways.

6:23 "You don't need to rev it". Just honk the horn.

I love how Tyler pulls up in the garage and then looks round on the ramps........ that's mine, and that one, and that one......oh and you still have that one as well. Its more like Tylers storage facility with a workshop attached

The car Chrysler really should have built was the "Howler", the V8 version, that was not made.

Wouldn’t be a Chrysler product without the complementary check engine light

“Screw you Chrysler” had me dying 😂😂😂

Great video. Definitely one of the coolest designs of the 90's. A standard transmission and 400HP would really make these a phenomenal vehicle. Must definitely rec that all who have yet to sub to The Car Wizard should do so. An incredibly knowledgeable and humble guy.

1:40 "I've never seen one in person." "your beautiful hands have never touched one." _standing in front of the lamborghini he was just fixing_

Buys Land Rover LWB, 14 days later Tyler: Here’s everything broken on my certified LandRover LWB

Sorry guys, that currency symbol is Euros. "I can still pull it, and get it up." TWSS. 😇

Wizard: "I would definitely fix it all" Hoovie: "Of course you would, you're getting all of the money" HAHAHAHA

The front of that car definitely has some PT Cruiser in it...

I honestly like 90s Chryslers. I like the weirder stuff For example the Avenger Coupe is really cool

Hot take: hoovie intentionally breaks every car just so he can store them at the wizards shop

"On the way to the car wizards" as he drove past it

I just have so much respect for the Wizard. I like the way he conducts and I wish we had a Wizard up here in Canada

1st mod has to be removing the front bumpers. It completely changes the look of the car. Cool pick up Hoovie! Happy to see the Murci is going back together too.

pricey sway bar links. $226 window regular rebuild on ebay.

I wonder about their relationship. Hoovie: I got this car, draw up the price to fix it. Wizard: here's the price $$$$, I start working on it. This repeats every week. Does Hoovie ever come back for a car?

I am amazed. When I first saw Hoovie's Garage, was when Tavaris gave you that van from pimp my ride. I thought you were a doofis but I actually find your shows very entertaining. I have been binge watching today. Well done.

Glad you both appreciate this for what it is. Race car engineering firm Riley n Scott, got involved with Plymouth in the design concept. All aluminum construction. We never had these at my dealership because we were Dodge Chrysler Jeep I think they are super cool 😎

“People in the UK might have a problem with it” from the UK that gave me a chuckle, love you Hoovie!

When you pulled in the wizards place it looked like you were going into LS Customs on GTA5 lol

I was probably 13 or 14 when I first seen my cousin driving a yellow one. To this day I am still confused if I liked it or not.

I encountered a few Plymouth growlers when I was in the Navy 😂

I actually love the prowler and think they are absolutely stunning and an amazing throwback from the whole retro design car era we had And like you said the structural design that has gone into it is fantastic I don’t believe we ever got them here in Australia It was probably the best handling Chrysler ever built 👍👍😍😍

I am SO impressed that Hoovie knows what a growler is in the UK 😂😂😂

Love the Lotus. Always loved that manufacturer. Beautiful cars.

Damn! The beetle sounds incredible

They paint job definitely needs some love and the interior. I had a die cast model that was the same color too!

I had a guy around me who had a prowler exactly like this. Same color and all but I never realized how cool they were when I was younger.

"You don't need to Rev it" Hoovie: *Foot to the floor*

I feel like Hoovie legit forgets that he owns a car sometimes. Like _Oh yeah! That's mine too!_

I like that you picked up a Prowler. That’s some interesting/fun bang for the buck, even with the full price of the window regulator.

When the Wizard lost the prelude he gained the turbo s. The sound is amazing and it is the ultimate sleeper. 😂

I feel like the Car Wizard is just Hoovie's personal mechanic at this point.

€ = Euro £ = Pound (gbp)

Wizard- I would definitely fix everything. Hoovie- No of course your getting all the money. 😂😂😂

Had a Chrysler Concord with that same belt idler pully issue from brand new. Dealer never could find it even after I described the sound as "like a worn out, old metal roller skate wheel spinning. The bearing finally seized (out of warranty) and blew the power steering belt. I was amazed at how quiet the car ran as I muscled it back to the dealer without power steering. Dealer replaced the idler and the service writer told me "The idler bearing was bad. They sound like an old metal roller skate wheel when they start to go." I had him look up the history and the "Customer states engine is very noisy and sounds like old roller skate wheel when running." notation. They made the repair under warranty.

Coming from a 300M background, many would suggest the replacement of the timing belt and possibly the tensioner. Then while there, go ahead and replace the water pump. Chrysler suggested the timing belt be replaced every 100K miles or 7 years, whichever came first.

I was looking forward to this one! 😂

Man, I thought these where so cool when I was a kid! Even had a model of it I built.

13:20 "British pounds?!" - man looking at the euro symbol

I used to have an automotive stethoscope. The ear pieces are hollow plastic or rubber which avoid you putting 12 volts direct to your brain when you accidentally touch something you shouldn't have. Nice feature

Hey hoovie. If your check engine light came on. Say to the wizard to check on the passenger side, on top of the gas tank. There is a hose that cracks and is going to leak gas vapor.

Whe're off to see the Wizard! The Wonderful Wizard of Cars!

Hoovie reminds me of French Stewart's character on "Third Rock from the Sun", the way he squints all the time.

I too pull it and get it up when there’s no alternatives 16:05

My stepdad owned a purple and yellow one of these. Me and my mom rode it from the lakehouse and it was the absolute bumpiest, miserable ride. I will never forget it. Not sure if he still owns them.

The comment no one's gonna make: That Beetle sounds meaty!

I’m from the UK got no problem with you calling it a growler 🤣

Car Wizard: I would fix it all. Hoovie: of course, you are getting all the money. Lmao

Instructors at Chrysler training school, when they still had corporate instructors, said that the Prowler was never engineered to be driven or last for an extended amount of miles, they said you would be much better off with a Viper if you planned on longevity.

The dodge intrepid was a option on one of the original need for speeds, I think the police used them.

"Intrepid engine" "that's cheap maintinece right there" bahahaha that's a good one!

Congrats on hitting a million subs Hoovie!

All jokes about the "dumbest automotive channel" and about bad decisions aside, this channel really is a gem. Quite entertaining in unexpected ways, there's not that many people out there who experiment and explore cars in the flesh like you guys do. It's interesting to watch a video about the Prowler and its history, but it's much more interesting to see one of those lifted up in the shop, with two enthusiasts who care about the car.

A friend of mine, from near Parkersburg, WV was sold a test bed prowler, by mistake. Chrysler contacted him, to get it back because of some safety issues. They gave him a new one plus some cash (he wouldn't say how much).

"Thank you Chrysler!....Thank you Chrysler!...SCREW YOU Chrysler!!" LOL too funny!

16:32 Hoovey: it’s a really well engineered car Wizard: yeah it’s a special Car not a special cat tho

Man when I was Kid i drooled over these cars, was always debating about buying one for fun.

I'd bet that Hoovie has paid for this man's house, shop and daughters college tuition.

"well thought out" - parts stuffed everywhere hahaha

I’m from the UK and the ’Growler’ does seem surprisingly ‘hairy’ !!😂

I worked as a Chrysler service advisor at the time time these came out. I could tell you it was the idler tensioner before David looked at it.They all fail right after the warranty is up. Chrysler cars of the era were crap. I take that back: all the Chrysler products since forever are junk.Stay away or face peril.

Never seen from undercarriage view, unique engineering. Seen the Viper while it was in pre- production at the Whittier "skunk works " w/ body off frame & it's a beast. i like the suspension on this. & remember the articles on prototype . Good luck.

Does the “Wizard” have any assistants? He’s always has a garage full of cars. I wonder what the “wait” time is for a repair...

As someone in the UK. Please call it the Growler. Also that’s a Euros (€) Symbol, not a Pound (£) symbol. But love your work Hoovie and Wizard!

I purchased a used Dodge Intrepid with about 30,000 miles on it. At 70,000 miles the transmission went out. I was blown away that the owner's manual said I was supposed to be changing the transmission fluid every 15,000 miles.

Prince had also the purple one. I saw it at some photos from the garage in Paisley Park.

For the love of all that is holy, can you please start mic’ing up the wizard?

Reminds me of my first generation BMW Mini that has a Mopar co-designed engine. A lot of the parts are dirt cheap when they are shared with the Dodge Neon or Intrepid; some are just ridiculously expensive BMW bits.

Hoovie and the wizard, 2 complete different characters but work together so fine.

“Don’t call it a growler, people in the uk may have an issue” Hahahahaha Hahahah if I seen a purple growler I’d run a mile!!! Very interested to hear how you know of our slang term???

Next time show us which cars aren’t or weren’t yours, it’ll be faster.

13:18 british pounds ? you’re kidding me right ?

Long time subscriber, long long time. Don't know if I've commented or not before BUT... This was my favorite "Everything that's Broken" video. It was great, we really got to see everything, probably due to the engineering of the car itself but regardless I really enjoyed seeing everything that was wrong with it. Thanks for another great video, hope all is well Tyler

Tylet, the Louisiana inspection decal shows it just passed safety and Wizard says your suspension is roached out, tells you about cars in Louisiana.

One thing I know about the Prowler, Lots of fun to drive on Gran Turismo

"Dont call it a growler....people in the uk might have an issue with it" Finally, an American who understands the uk sense of humor =D

Man, this would look really nice with the paint job from Robt. Williams "Flying Purple People Eater". That big Syke-O-Delik eye across the nose of the grille would be "rad" as the kids stopped saying 45 years ago.

My dad had a 1950 Ford convertible, three on the tree with overdrive. I loved that car.
