[@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!

[@bjf10]

The lifejacket is CLEARLY for boogertruck.

[@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 !

[@trythistv]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3110">51:50</a> 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!

[@basstrammel1322]

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

[@shanegreen268]

Great comment. So true..

[@garytims9261]

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

[@JohnShurko-co3kj]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@AddieDirectsTV]

MOOOOOOOK!!!! You still exist!!!

[@bigjim8397]

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

[@versatec1]

Hologram

[@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!

[@wilsondowling7688]

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

[@pakjohn99]

Mook! Good to have you back!

[@lucasstiles8012]

Everyone knows Mook is the power behind these junkyard adventures.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

Yes she is 😊

[@peterwalkerden6778]

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

[@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?

[@SwedeJr.]

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....

[@chrisbowman8415]

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

[@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.

[@seanreynolds3970]

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

[@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.

[@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. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@danobrien155]

Moookk ❤ good to see you 😊

[@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!!

[@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...

[@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!

[@timisaacs6361]

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

[@eileenmurphy5718]

Welcome back Mook. You have been missed.

[@1brianmoran]

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

[@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.

[@robertfoster636]

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

[@jamesbromley2571]

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

[@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

[@aaronsprojects9022]

At 23ish minutes in. "That's all it takes Pain and suffering! Why didn't I think to start there?" Had me dying laughing.

[@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!

[@09sethman]

the Mookster ,the Mookanator..the Mookatola of Rock and Rolla.. !

[@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) !

[@jetstreek17]

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

[@blzr93]

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

[@R.Sole88109]

MOOOOK back in the shed👍🏻😁 Are you completely healed after operation and now firewalling the wedding cra..er..taskings😉😆

[@venividivici-xr2hh]

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

[@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. 😅

[@cheapcargarage]

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

[@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! 🙏

[@Loner2012AT]

Booger truck rules! Always enjoy videos from you all.

[@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!

[@adamperry2147]

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

[@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!

[@zendoargos4988]

Congrats on getting the booger truck on the road. The question is what are you going to do with all that extra room in the shop now? So much room for activities!!!

[@vincedibona4687]

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

[@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 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@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!

[@NEOATHS]

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

[@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

[@escapenguin]

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

[@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.

[@jeffsr8300]

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

[@paulcollins2788]

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

[@TimothyHigdonHiggs]

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

[@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.

[@robertjacks1776]

Glad your back 👍🏻

[@TomZelickman]

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

[@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!!!

[@TheJohndeere212]

Love seeing you getting old truck going.

[@man_made_motors_garage223]

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

[@larrygessner3155]

Hi Mook and Kevin, Glad to see bugger truck getting some love! Even more exciting to see you picking up the engine for thr Nova! Looking forward to seeing whats next!

[@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.

[@Slyder42]

Yes, more HOT SAUCE!!!

[@twobabejinkins1736]

Congrats Mook ! Nice work !!!

[@lukebuchanan8928]

Looking forward to the Nova videos. A hot minute ago i was looking to buy a nova and found the first video and now i watch junkyard mook, digs, pole barn garage and allot of others i found through y'all.

[@Dessedac834]

Congrats Mook glad to see Bugger is finally running

[@JayH237]

Glad to see the green truck back again!!!!

[@deadman252]

Mook is so cute and they have a very healthy relationship they are so entertaining

[@danielweith1075]

Dalton's father wraps the door strike with electrical tape to help with the door rattle. Great job with everything!

[@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

[@MLCAPE]

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

[@jjeremy350]

I wanna see moooook do cold start on the nova 😉 😊

[@Wipsplash]

Favorite part of all of this is that you both are happy. Love your channel.👍

[@matty99]

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

[@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.

[@wybarprojects]

Great to have you back Mook!

[@KENNEY1023]

Congradulations on getting Buger moving, great truck.

[@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.

[@jjb2244]

Love me some Booger truck content

[@bachtomin213]

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

[@d22matt]

YAY Mook your back 🫠🤗. Missed you 😢 and your videos. Good to see Booger truck is getting some attention again. I've been trying to spot it in the background of Kevin's videos to see if anything is happening. 😂 Good to have you back 😊

[@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!!!!

[@aden117]

Update on 5.7 vortec nova?

[@allstylinone5122]

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

[@JunkyardMook]

Yes

[@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

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Mook. Excellent video. Great to see you're back and doing well. Your auto repair skills are outstanding. I'm confident you'll get that old Ford F150 running again. 👍😉

[@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.

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

Glad you got Booger truck back home & now you can get new videos out on your burnt Nova & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you Mook & Kevin,would love to see you get your Burnt Nova running again especially with that V8 that you're going to be putting in it

[@Kro_man_tx]

I really like the paint scheme and those old school wheels! This truck is begging to be restored.

[@adrianames8590]

Super cool! Glad you finally can enjoy driving it around!!! Please do another update on Booger Truck in a few months.

[@chadoakes8002]

It's awesome to see the old girl run again Can't wait to see the Nova Thank you for the great video And all the hard work

[@thadoggma]

Good to finally see an update on this truck. I think the slow cranking issue is more likely a head gasket seep rather than a weak starter. Don't get me wrong, I think about 40% of the "reman" starters I get from oreillys are junk right out of the box. In fact, I don't even waste my time using Oreilly parts any more! My 302 Bronco with a really, really bad HG leak would eat reman starters alive at least once a month... IME- These Windsors don't typically give you any of the other usual HG symptoms other than a no/slow crank when hot. It's always cyl. 7 or 8 in engines with EGR due to the increased cylinder temps on the back two. I've got three of them in my engine room waiting to get rebuilt for that reason right now.

[@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!

[@jamesdishman9167]

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