MY GREEN 78 HASN’T GONE ANYWHERE. I haven’t abandoned it, I’m not replacing it and it’s not for sale. I have an 89 that I work on and drive now too is all. That’s it. Booger truck isn’t leaving.
Thank you for not giving up on that beautiful truck. I love how you always buy high end model trucks. This truck being the XLT Lariat was top of the line in 1989. Can't wait for you to fix it up.
Like what you got going on. Been wrenching on Ford pickups since middle 70's. Re: power window motor that runs but won't lift under load. Usually easy to repair. Remove cover around output gear, you will find a semi planetary drive relies on 3 plastic rollers that likely are worn. Find 3 steel balls from old bearing, use to replace worn rollers. Repack with grease, Reassemble and install. Repair should outlast new China built window motor.
Mook, I really makes me smile to see you get so excited about breathing life back into these vehicles....I am really glad that you folks being so young are really into keeping the old vehicles alive...Happy Holidays to you both!
I just did this on an 88 F-150 a few months ago. Both lift pumps, new selector valve (Ford should be shot between the eyes for that little gem) and a high pressure pump and now I get the flammable liquids to the fuel rail. Its magic I tell ya!
I just got a 1982 F150 XL today 1 owner 76K original miles been sitting for 8 years. So cool to see you going through the same things with the same truck lol!!
I think that its so awesome that you work on vehicles! There's just not that many girls that want to work on vehicles in today's society. Kevin is definitely so lucky to have you in his life. God bless you and keep up the wonderful work! Thanks for the videos.🙂
Kevin, it takes a real man to do that my son and oldest daughter dyed mine purple! You guys are awesome even my 12 y/o son loves watching you guys with me!
@@Laugh1ngboy Maybe but these Ford radios commonly burn the bulbs out. It is worth pulling apart and fixing. The aftermarket radios always look horrible in my opinion.
I have a '88 f-150, I've had since 1989. Rebuilt the engine over 20 years ago (302). I can't begin to tell you how much stuff I've hauled in this truck over the years. Congrats, on you new daily driver.
Hey, the backlight on those headunits is just a $2 bulb that takes 5 minutes to get to. I just did two of them a couple months ago. Also, definitely pull the bed off to do tank work. its waaaaayyy easier than dropping them.
@@garageofscrap youd think that, but at least on my truck, the rear tank was on top of the hitch brace and the skid plate, and all the fuel lines and wires are routed over the top of the frame channels. Ive done it both ways, bed is way easier.
Wow. That thing is beautiful. My first vehicle was a 89 f150 supercab just like that with a straight 6. Miss it every day. I will never forget doing peels out of the high school parking lot!
Awesome video! I just also revived an 89 f150 with the 302 abandoned in the woods behind my job! Fuel pressure regulator, TPS sensor, cap, rotor and some fresh gas and she fired right up.
Those late 80's early 90's ford trucks will run forever for not much money. I've owned two over the years, an 89 with a 5.0 and a 95 with a 4.9. The 4.9 inline 6 is God tier indestructible.
Man that truck is in excellent shape. I had a brand new 88 same thing. I loved it. It had 351 Cleveland engine no overdrive just a three speed automatic trans.
im a chevy and mopar guy but i saved a 89 f250 351w single tank from the junkyard. its having fuel issues i think and the bumper is crooked im so glad i found this video its helping alot in fixing up this ol ford. thank u for the vid its helping a ton more then google. thank u
One easy thing to maintain that makes a difference on power and fuel mileage is the distributer cap and rotor. Also it's a good idea sometimes to change the coil wire because sometimes that will cause issues with the module in the distributer. The radio just needs the light bulb behind the faceplate changed.
It's only been 4.5, maybe 5 days since this came out, and you're more than 20% of the way to 1M views. I'd say Kevin will be sporting a new do by month's end. Go Mook!!
Its December 2021 and i have covid and i want to let you guys know that you and kevins videos are whats makin this bearable so thank you guys very much you guys rock
I see two Texas stickers in the windshield, an older inspection sticker and a 2013 license renewal. Also a Waxahachie, TX Ford dealer emblem on the back...... Maybe that's why it doesn't have the usual Iowa rust? Nice. If you can keep it out of the salt it'll stay that way!
I really believe you should pull the brake master cylinder and check to see if all that missing fluid isn't in the brake booster. Just a safety thought.
I was 4 when this truck came out, I would be proud to own it today. We had a 1982 extended cab growing up and I was able to drive that "unit" all over during my 16-17 year old days.
Just got a single cab 89 Ford F-150 302 EFI 5 spd and this video really helped me to get familiar with the fuel system so I can get the truck running thank you guys
I loved my 90 f150, which was also an xlt lariat. I sold it probably 8 years ago and I still see it driving around town. Mine had way more rust though! That thing was reliable and I abused that sucker!
I've done that exact same thing before and I yelled at my screen just before he said they forgot to hook up the wires and hoses. But I had 2 full tanks of gas to do that work. Very heavy for one skinny guy to handle.
This brings back some memories. Dad's first brand new truck was an '89 F-150 Supercab XLT Lariat with that brothel red interior, though his had the captain's chairs with floor console. In high school, I had a '91 Supercab with a gray interior and the bench seat. This truck reminds me of both. It's cool to be able to see a bunch of stuff up close on one of these because it help me affirm my memory isn't complete garbage yet. It's been almost 20 years since I sold my '91, but I seem to remember a lot of stuff about these old Ferds.
i got a 95 f150 300 5 speed, great truck 233,000 miles and passed california emissions. i replaced the rear u-joint yesterday in an hour with all the wrong tools.
I'm just going to say once the Fuel system is sorted out and you do a full tune up that truck will be a tank. the fact you don't need to do anything with the A/C is a miracle. I'd check to see if the Truck's A/C is r-134a or R-12. the Motor in it is Bullet proof and as long as you can serve it properly the 89 f-150 will be around.
On a personal note, I love that Kevin "can't even" process how much he loves you, Mook! It's so cute! After 40 years with MY best girl, I still feel the same way. Good luck, good love you two!
Thought Lariat meant leather interior, 🤷♂️ My dad had a 89 Bronco with a 302. It was a good truck! Used a couple quarts between oil changes but had a 8 quart or bigger oil pan. Never bought one without a trailer package on it
The cap your wearing when your fixing your breaks shows me your a fan of VGG! That is so awesome and you are to I’m now subscribed to your channel thank you for such great content! Keep it coming
I know right. Been watching the Dragon religiously and all of a sudden doing other things. Don't think he will make the deadline for the Dragon being back on the road.
I love this video! I had a 1987 f150 xlt lariat and a 1990 exactly like yours. Wish I still had them but since I live up north in Canada I needed a 4WD truck instead. Hope to have another some day, I love the interior's
My first truck i ever paid for was this truck. same motor just manual trans. paid a grand for it and drove the wheels off of it for three years and traded it in for a grand. still miss it to this day. amazing truck. Look forward to seeing more of this one. And if it ends up on a shirt one XL size will be bought by this guy.
MY GREEN 78 HASN’T GONE ANYWHERE. I haven’t abandoned it, I’m not replacing it and it’s not for sale. I have an 89 that I work on and drive now too is all. That’s it. Booger truck isn’t leaving.

The radio should have brackets that mount with screws on the sides.
everyone needs more than one truck but i think you need a chevy next :P
Your link for the foundation is dead Mook. What the heck.
@@singlsrvngfrnd should be fixed now, thank you for telling me, I had no idea 😊
We all need a Mook in our lives.
She has got to name it fordhead
I second this opinion....
I'm still looking for a Mook in my life , no luck yet.
@@Dj-ve2hx ikr
Totally. I love the bubbly fun personality.
This might be the first time I've ever hoped a video DOESN'T get a million views... 😂😂
Love it
Come on One Million! 🤣🤣🤣

You'll look good in pink, Kevin.
Id totally pay some chinese kids 10 bucks for a bunch of views...
Isn't youtube banned in China tho lol
I see what you did there 👀😂
@@wildman510 vpn it works
I've got my second phone playing this video over and over again. We're getting that million and we're going to watch Mook shave and dye your hair.
YES !
i think they said it had to be within a few months and its past that point. Itd still be awesome to see though!
You can only make a view on a video so many times per day
do you plan on watching it over 400k times? Cuz thats how off the views are plus its been a year too!
She literally lifted that battery easier than Hoovie did yesterday 😂😂😂
Oof😂

No surprise there he doesn’t work on cars

Kevin, it takes a real man to do that my son and oldest daughter dyed mine purple! You guys are awesome even my 12 y/o son loves watching you guys with me!
those trucks make me nostalgic my family had a bunch of them from 84 to 96 always worked well and worked hard good video
That's a clean truck. I think that is one of the best dashes ford ever made
For sure. And then they immediately ruined it the next generation lol
I like your Vise grip garage hat. I am sure Derick will like the support.
Mook's constant amazement that the 89 has been maintained is funny.
Well the registration explains why this truck is so clean! TEXAS!!
Im so glad y’all finally decided to do a bricknose. I love these trucks and the dont get as much love as they should
I love the relationship you two have! Your content is always entertaining to watch!
I had the exact same truck but mine was blue. I got rid of the dual tank system then replaced it with a single 32 gallon tank from an 86 Bronco.
The light in those radios can be fixed, there's a tiny lightbulb in it that can be replaced. I fixed the radio in my 90 last summer.
They might just need to re-flow some solder joints. Ronald Finger fixed his radio on the Fiero by doing this.
@@Laugh1ngboy Maybe but these Ford radios commonly burn the bulbs out. It is worth pulling apart and fixing. The aftermarket radios always look horrible in my opinion.
@@ekd1985 I agree sadly most of the cars Ive owned start with out a radio in them.
Love the truck! I had to replace my fuel pump in my truck and I found it was so much easier to pull the bed off.
Good tip.
Much easier.
I cut an access in the bed.
I have a '88 f-150, I've had since 1989. Rebuilt the engine over 20 years ago (302). I can't begin to tell you how much stuff I've hauled in this truck over the years. Congrats, on you new daily driver.
Here comes 1 hour of my life where I won't do any work. Thank you Mook!
Hey where did you find your profile picture? Just wondering since I REALLY love it?
Always good to see Dad in the shop. A wealth of knowledge.
Lay in bed after a long day and there's an HOUR long junkyard Mook video, I could not be happier.
It's honestly better than anything on TV/Cable/Satellite.
I just sat down myself. Found a cold snack and an hour long Mook. I dont care how bad of a day I had, it just got better. 😉
Love that truck. I had a '95 that was the best and most reliable vehicle ever. I'd still be driving it but it was murdered by New England road salt.
Loved this vid. Something for everyone. Glad it's up and running! Enjoy!
Hey, the backlight on those headunits is just a $2 bulb that takes 5 minutes to get to. I just did two of them a couple months ago. Also, definitely pull the bed off to do tank work. its waaaaayyy easier than dropping them.
They have a 2 post lift. I’d say lifting the truck up and dropping the tank would be easier

@@TheOneTrueHeavy took both tanks out of mine. Worst 30 minutes of my life. Remove the bed. Lol.
For it's age, that truck almost immaculate, very nice.

Oh man! The hanging by wires stoplights! Brings me back...

Wanted to give yall props on fixing the dual tank system and making it proper again.

GOOD for you girl ! Nice truck , nice rescue . Very enjoyable watch . Get that Million
Mook missed the perfect opportunity to crawl through the sliding rear window to check the fuses.
I have learned more watching you guys, thunderhead and vgg. thanks so much!
I don't know if I ever noticed the big forehead Ford font but now I'm looking for it intensely
You really can't unsee it now...
You're welcome 😂
Yup... My truck's now permanently ruined.
I see two Texas stickers in the windshield, an older inspection sticker and a 2013 license renewal. Also a Waxahachie, TX Ford dealer emblem on the back...... Maybe that's why it doesn't have the usual Iowa rust? Nice. If you can keep it out of the salt it'll stay that way!
Texas A&M University on rear window too. Perhaps an ag major returning to the motherland. Gig 'em Ags!
That Ford will outlive most other pickups and cars from that era. It's a keeper!
I really believe you should pull the brake master cylinder and check to see if all that missing fluid isn't in the brake booster. Just a safety thought.
This truck is a real gift from the heavens. Nicest score in the Junkyard Mook/Digs video series to date!
For a pickup that's over three decades old, she's clean and straight. She's a keeper for sure.
Thought the same thing she's not in to bad a shape almost to good for this channel?
Don’t talk about nook like that
Great looking truck, all it needs is a leveling kit and a little polishing. Going to town rig for sure.
I was 4 when this truck came out, I would be proud to own it today. We had a 1982 extended cab growing up and I was able to drive that "unit" all over during my 16-17 year old days.
1:03:37 This was my favourite clip from the whole episode. I love those exterior shots of the freshly revived vehicle driving again.

@@chriskwakernaat2328 some things aren't covered, probably won't cover non gas liquids
Until you try and collect on the warranty and get refused for whatever excuse the dimwhit behind the counter comes up with.
Mook, Extreme cuteness runs deep in this one i feel.....
I had a 94 FT150 XLT. The engine caught fire, and it still ran!!!Nothing can kill the FC150!!
check your service records, some of them should have mileage recorded, it'll tell you if it rolled over
Love the vgg hat I could definitely work with someone like that dude and learn something useful
Glad to see Mook in a good rig hope she runs great for her.
My favorite thing is when the JYD logo pops up and Mook splats down over Digs 🤣
I love the fact that you too have so much fun working together! The cutest couple ever
You too belong together love watching you guys enjoy going through the truck it’s hilarious
Kevin’s rendition of “A Thousand Miles” is brilliant
