[@SvendleBerries]

[@Njazmo]

@@JunkyardMook Happy to help you. P.S. we have a young white cat going in the neighborhood, but trying to catch that feller. That creature needs a better life, than in the woods. Greetings from Finland, and have a great weekend!

[@seanreynolds3970]

we need more mook. really enjoy you keeping Kevin in line.

[@basstrammel1322]

Nothing makes my bones more happy than young people finding ways to emjoying old stuff.

[@shanegreen268]

Great comment. So true..

[@trythistv]

51:50 Kevin missed a perfect opportunity to say "She's a poet and doesn't even know it" as a response. Such a great feeling to get a problemchild of a vehicle back going again. Boogertruck lives again. Can't wait to see the nova engine get put together next!

[@garytims9261]

Hi Mook, so glad to see you again. We have missed you.🎉

[@noisefuljoy]

The two of you working together is the best. Everything's perfect. Nobody move. PS- Dad talking now- Secure your load! That skid full of motor sailing forward if you panic stopped would have been bad.

[@bjf10]

The lifejacket is CLEARLY for boogertruck.

[@JohnShurko-co3kj]

GLAD TO SEE YOUR BACK MOOK, I WATCHED KEVIN AND YOU WERE MISSED. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMMING.

[@jeffuhlir842]

We all obviously love watching Kevin, but we are all so excited mook is back. Can't wait to see more content from you. You are both awesome

[@charlesstephens6537]

I actually really like that green and the stripes. Was hoping for a wash and maybe some sort of sealer/patina application. Maybe next time, this truck deserves it. Great video, can’t wait to see more of the Nova !

[@pakjohn99]

Mook! Good to have you back!

[@wilsondowling7688]

I love both of your enthusiasm. You make a great team and couple. Keep up the good work.

[@AddieDirectsTV]

MOOOOOOOK!!!! You still exist!!!

[@bigjim8397]

Yyyyyyeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa she back!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@versatec1]

Hologram

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

I have a suggestion Mook, after driving your 78 ford truck until it hot,shut down and hard starts,try putting a battery ground wire to the block of the engine and to the frame/ chassis,I had a 49 ford truck with the same problem, I hope that helps you out, I love your show and I'll catch ya on the next one.

[@timisaacs6361]

You two ROCK ! So glad to see you back in action Mook ! You bring allot of joy to many !

[@peterwalkerden6778]

Mook! We missed you, we want more of you! You're a legend and heck'n awesome.

[@cayminlast]

Yayee! Mook is back. Always good to see you and Kevin turn'in wrenches and making us laugh while teaching us your excellent mechanical tips and tricks. Thank you guys.

[@stevewojohowitz3229]

Way to go! Congratulations to the pair of you. Mook your natural sense of humor is honest and infectious . You and Kevin are an awesome duo.

[@joshm1242]

Neat trick to keep the tail shaft from leaking on your head. Put a rubber glove over the end and wrap electrical tape around the edge. Great to see you two back together on camera btw!!

[@mrnapolean1]

I didn't know Mook had a channel till the other day. Id like to credit you and Junkyard Digs (Kevin) for reigniting the passion for me personally to work on trucks again. Thanks!

[@robertfoster636]

I've been waiting for this. Great to see you again Mook.

[@1brianmoran]

Love the banter/chemistry between you and Kevin, keep up the great work.

[@lucasstiles8012]

Everyone knows Mook is the power behind these junkyard adventures.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

Yes she is 😊

[@MrJohnBabcock]

I think of you both as part entertainment and part educational and part cool projects. First, thanks for spending all the time we don’t see doing this for us, second thanks for occasionally reviewing the basics for us people’s that don’t do it everyday (we need reminding that it sometimes stinks), and lastly, thanks for the booger shots to remind us that this is supposed to be fun. Both of your channels get my full attention. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@eileenmurphy5718]

Welcome back Mook. You have been missed.

[@melterofsnowflakes]

I'd be proud to have that truck. So happy to see Mook and whatshisname (chuckle) keeping Booger on the road. Thanks for the video!

[@IanMicheal]

My wife and I are so happy for your success! You have such great chemistry together... You are a power couple... so amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed this episode! God's blessings on y'all!

[@scaleautoguysworkbench]

When I was a young lad (18 years old) I worked at a Cottman Transmission in Ft. Myers, Florida. I had pulling transmissions down to a science. My average time to pull a transmission was about 15 minutes. If you do it enough you get that good. Then again, I didn't work on that many rusted out cars and trucks in Florida. a 1/2 inch drive 36 inch long extension is your best friend when removing the bell housing bolts. Sometimes, if you have an engine that turns over hard when it is hot your timing my be off by a little bit. Try adding or removing a degree to see if that cures your problems but you may already know that...

[@chrisbowman8415]

I'm pretty jealous about how good that tailgate is actually 😂

[@ja-bv3lq]

MOOK! It's been a LONG time! Good to see you back..💛

[@paulfreeman745]

Good to see you and Kevin back to work together again in a video together. Keep them coming. Maybe you won't have to clean a multiple decades old bathroom again like the one you cleaned in the shop. You are very awesome to tackle that. Kevin is a lucky guy to have someone like you. The booger truck was classy with the color combination when it was new in 78.

[@jackrichards1863]

Yah it sure was and that's a fact! I remember the ads with it in magazines on a two page spread. Gorgeous!

[@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse]

I can't tell you how good it feels that this is taking you so long... I feel so useless when my projects take forever and I need to somehow scrounge together the motivation to get back into it. Not being the only one really helps.

[@Kevin1980-k6g]

Are we going to have more consistent content from you now?? You do good work. Have a wonderful day Mook!

[@FroggyTWrite]

it would be great to get posts every couple weeks.... one can dream....

[@marks93cobra]

Recently picked me up a '95 F-150 with the 5.0, looking forward to fixing her up and making a mild hot rot truck out of her, keep up the great work Mook (and you too Kevin) !

[@edrosa5079]

Glad to see you back here Mook cant wait for more

[@Kens64chevelle]

Nice to see that 'ol truck running well and back on the road. It's truly been a long haul project . Enjoyed see you both in a new video as well. Keep On Trucking!

[@edrosa5079]

watching you guys brings back the time i had to change the clutch plate on a 88 Tempo with no help floor jacks maxed out and no help freezing about 10 degrees outside and me alone in my dads garage cold as heck wishing for help lol got it back in had some bolts left over but ran until i traded it in 5yrs later lol drove it everywhere in tenn

[@danobrien155]

Moookk ❤ good to see you 😊

[@adamperry2147]

Woo hoo @Junkyard Mook ! Glad to see you back! Good job on the Booger truck and look forward to the Burnt Nova.

[@Apostrophe65]

It's nice to see that machine finally doing as it should! Watching you two is always a pleasure, keep up the great work.

[@damianmarley1209]

Love these old trucks. Honestly prefer them over almost any new vehicle out there. Love channels like your's and Kevin's to watch these rebuilds

[@blzr93]

Way to go mook! (And kevin) great to see the booger truck again. Itll be great to see the nova again too.

[@jetstreek17]

Welcome back booger scope, we have missed you dearly. Love the vid, thanks Mook

[@davidhowell2456]

Mmmmm…hot sauces 🤤 Glad to see Booger in a mostly good working condition! 👍 And I’m glad to see you and Kevin back at it together having a blast. God bless you both! 🙏

[@annalorree]

“You’ve got a 9/16” on one side and 11/16” on the other. Does that make any sense?” Actually, yes. Ford did that a LOT back when they made things to be repairable. It was so you could work on the truck if you only had a single set of end wrenches.

[@adaml1355]

Put your transmission jack on top of a tool cabinet and ratchet strap it down. Thus making it tall enough to use with lift up and stable . Or build a rolling table to set the trans jack on. Standing while removing transmission is much easier than lay on back. Love the content

[@mph5896]

Or just buy the correct trans jack. I have done enough transmissions on my back, and never again.

[@kman-mi7su]

Booger is back on the road! This video is motivating, I'm working on a 1988 F250 7.3 IDI and I had to pull the transmission to get a new torque convertor. She's not yet quite ready for prime time, but watching Kevin and Mook's excitement driving Booger, I can't wait for the same experience. Its been a long project of installing the torque convertor, finding a replacement motor, pulling the motor and swapping in a good used one. It took me a year to get to this point with working outside in my driveway in good weather plus with limited days as the past two years I've been working 65 to 72 hours a week due to manpower shortages. Thanks Mook and Kevin! I needed this!!!!

[@jamesbromley2571]

I watched the whole playlist like a week ago with my wife. I cant wait to see more on burnt nova too

[@jamesbigham9036]

Mook I knew you guys would get booger truck running and back on the road again. I believe in both of you. I have missed your videos because seeing you and Kevin working together is a great thing and something that only happens on your channel. You are a very unique lady and I have a lot of respect for you.

[@NEOATHS]

Mook and the truck that can't swim is back! She always find a way to crack me up!

[@vincedibona4687]

Mook’s sneeze is the cutest thing next to a dozen puppies.

[@Loner2012AT]

Booger truck rules! Always enjoy videos from you all.

[@escapenguin]

It's so quiet now! Love the green on green. Can't believe it's been 3 years.

[@TheJohndeere212]

Love seeing you getting old truck going.

[@cheapcargarage]

Hello Mook! We’ve missed you! Hello Kevin….. we’ve also missed booger truck! Love that truck. Love what you’re doing!

[@jeffsr8300]

Glad you're back, you were missed. Oh and glad the truck is coming along👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@2koolchris291]

Yay, glad to see you posting again. I just got my 400 dollar ranger running because the truck engine was bad but the transmission I found out didn’t want to last long. I blew reverse out of it yesterday after the first drive. So I’m going back with a manual because I hate how I keep losing automatic transmissions. My daily failed so I rebuilt it fast and it didn’t last long. The guy blew the engine so it makes sense that he hurt the trans in the process

[@kaprentice]

"Bout time Mook. I started all this with watching you first and then found Junkyarddigs. Now I'd like to see a little more consistency with your videos. Watching this one was very enjoyable. Glad you got Boogertruck runnin'. And Nova next. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesdishman9167]

I have truly missed watching the best looking that I have ever found on KZbin! Really glad to see you and Kevin back.

[@toddmccarter45]

The door rattle is likely due to a missing plastic piece on the striker plate, a pice of pex water pipe works real nice as a replacement

[@mrmoofle]

Or you can just buy the door bushings for like 50 cents each. I have a 93 F-150, and the doors rattled like hell. Door bushings fixed them just fine.

[@mikewmt22]

I'm a chevy man and always will be, but this body style ford and especially the color scheme will always have a place in my heart. It's what i grew up with. To me that truck could do it all. Some of my earliest memories from my childhood has to do with this truck. It just didnt have hood stripes on it.

[@TomZelickman]

You did it!! I'm sure this felt like a huge achievement. Congratulations!

[@chrisstevenson1]

Brilliant, you 2 are awesome. Need more vids Mook 💯🙏

[@robertjacks1776]

Glad your back 👍🏻

[@SirFace4]

YAAAAAAY Congrats on Booger Truck, I ma-member when you got it. I've been waiting SO BAD for the Burnt Nova, can't wait to see that start up! WOOTWOOT

[@kennethsonier1766]

Congratulations on a fine transmission swap, looked like it went along pretty smoothly 👍 I remember when you picked up that truck and it's good to see it running and driving so nicely. Keep up the great work guys, it was good to see you working again Mook, next up the Nova 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@robertgoulden3637]

Kevin you could use a large bench vise and a socket as a press to push out the U-joint caps.

[@dennislamers986]

Well this has been the 1st tyranny video I could stand watching in a while. Way to go Mook and Kevin I hope you learned a thing or two about transmission work. You guys are great.

[@matty99]

You two are so good together, an absolute joy to watch! Look after each other you have something special.

[@venividivici-xr2hh]

Booger truck sounds sweet. Looking forward to the phoenix rising from the ashes and be reborn. 😀😀

[@theroving1]

Mook it's time to nag Kevin into buying a $200 trans jack so you can do it standing up!

[@colinl9018]

Do What standing up?

[@jameslovitt994]

Doesn't take too long to learn to appreciate power steering on a heavy vehicle Only thing I'd have done differently, is consider a rear main oil seal for the engine while you're in there. Even if it isn't leaking now, it may. Also, the reverse lights are on the column, it's part of the park/neutral switch, maybe needs adjusted.

[@wybarprojects]

Great to have you back Mook!

[@TimothyHigdonHiggs]

Mook!!!! Congrats!! Thx Kevin working on it! Always happy to see Mooks smile!!

[@man_made_motors_garage223]

Yes, yes, and yes 🙌 we have been waiting. Patiently, lol 😆 love your videos.

[@Dessedac834]

Congrats Mook glad to see Bugger is finally running

[@MLCAPE]

Ah yes the F150 with enough water in it to water the corn field for a summer.

[@quietclarence7998]

I'm so ready for the burnt nova! 68-72 Nova's are my favorite

[@Slyder42]

Yes, more HOT SAUCE!!!

[@paulcollins2788]

Great to see you back. Great job on booger truck. Happy to see it running.

[@jjb2244]

Love me some Booger truck content

[@HickSquatch]

Very cool!!! Great to see another 78 back on the road!! My first truck was a 79 that I bought in 1992. The M engines (351/400) eat starters. Parts store reman units are garbage. After having to rebuild a out-of-the-box reman, I gave up and rebuilt it myself; lasted much longer!! Make sure you have a clean mounting surface as the case grounds to the bellhousing and that can cause a slow spin. For the rear end: best leveling trick I found is about 300 lbs of traction sand bags behind the axle in the bed. Levels it out and it rides better. Beautiful truck!!! One of THE BEST Ford made!♥️💪

[@bachtomin213]

Just leave it sit for a few more years Mook!. Then Kevin and you can do a "will it run!" 😄👍

[@sclemmons1]

18:16 the 9/16" on one side and 11/16" on the other side is so those working on their truck only had to use one set of wrenches. If you had only one 9/16" wrench and needed two, you would be stuck. had a similar issue on the rear gas tank of my 83 F-150. The bolt wrench was an odd size. I replaced them all with 3/8" flared nuts and bolts.

[@aden117]

Update on 5.7 vortec nova?

[@SHOdown13]

Good job Mook. Kevin, nice assist. Mook, get a pair of new door strikers, it makes a world of difference in how the doors will close, stay closed and not rattle. On a side note, truck only looks level when going UP hill. 😅

[@yeeterbeans1793]

Are you sure that’s a 78? It’s got 79 headlights on it fs.

[@maxheadroom8857]

On the 78, those headlights were on higher trim models.

[@hellraizer322]

Thank you for the new video! Checking out the racecar video next!

[@allstylinone5122]

Dumb, question Did you get the truck up to operating temperature and check the trans fluid while the truck was running?

[@JunkyardMook]

Yes

[@michaelramsey82]

I've been waiting SO LONG for a Booger Truck update!

[@arnoldnellis6120]

This Is Why You Were Such A Great Addition To Your Fiancés Channel, Your Enthusiasm Is So Contagious. We All Enjoy Seeing Your Triumphs As You Move Through Your Projects. Look Out Burnt Nova, Here She Comes!

[@reijerlincoln]

Hooray! Those rusty bumpers would look good painted in an off-white.

[@notyourtypicalchad6778]

I resurrected a flooded 1999 Pontiac Firebird a decade ago. Pulled it out of a wrecking yard. The owner of the wrecking yard was a long time friend who knew I loved working on these style cars and asked if I thought I could save it. So...I took it home as well as another 99 Firebird he had in the lot that was still complete but hit HARD in the rear/totaled. I had to flush the motor, transmission, and rear differential. I had to replace the catalytic converters because they were stopped up. Electrically, I had to replace the BCM/body control module, a/c controls, power window motors, and the factory radio. I also swapped out all of the interior(seats, carpet, console, all plastic trim) except the dash. I did disinfect the car inside and out while I had all the interior removed. The car only had 39,000 original miles. Another friend of mine heard about me repairing the car and bought it from the dealer when I was done. My friend with the wrecking yard cut him a good deal on it and even paid me for the work I did. My friend still has the car today and it still runs like a champ. Only thing he's had to do is replace the power window motors again and the driver seat again(they are notorious of wearing out at the lumbar from people getting in and out of the car). As long as a vehicle is a freshwater flood and doesn't set too long you can most likely save it.

[@michaelmonkus435]

Mook Kevin is a very fortunate man for having you he don't seams to mind what you do i wish you both the very best.

[@wvgrillbilly]

I watched the entire series on this truck and it was great! I laughed so much and enjoyed watching you bring this old truck to life. Keep up the good work Mook!!

[@KENNEY1023]

Congradulations on getting Buger moving, great truck.

[@williammosher9278]

Great job on the trans. I have a 94' F-350 7.3 turbo diesel that I changed the transmission without a trans jack or hoist. Did it in the gravel driveway. I had the same type torque converter

[@jackmead6166]

I love your sense of humor . I love your approach to car repair. I'm so excited every time you produce a video!!!! Thank you!!!

[@thequietestengine]

Boogertruck, Nove and Mook are my biggest inspiration for me and my Edsel, Trouble. I hope I have as much joy when I can get his engine running as Mook has driving around in Boogertruck, thank you so much for sharing with us

[@squidkid2]

Get a bolt that's the same size as the bellhousing bolts but about an inch or so longer. With a cutoff wheel cut the head off the bolt. Then take the cutoff wheel and cut a slot in the untreaded end that will fit a flat bladed screwdriver. Now before you raise the trans screw the modified bolt into one of the lowest bellhousing holes in the block. Now you can slide the trans on to the stud for alignment (it works better if you make 2 studs.) Once you get one or two of the regular bolts in then you can use a screwdriver to unscrew the studs. BTW please ditch that side pipe on the Nova it's so lame!
