Thanks for answering my request
Congrats on 1 million subs love your content even though I'm only 13
Whooo Nice The Jeep!
Gotta say Minnesota has gotten missed for snow where I am it's unreal but I'm not complaining 😊
I've been waiting for this video to come out. So excited
I’ve been watching these shows with my kids and now they’re begging me to go find an old truck or car to fix up.
Man that's awesome.
So, when's the video coming out?
"if you know engines...."
Kevin: Hold my beer......😁😁😁
Have a beer about it
no I knew more about women, Mook what are you do...... come here! Fix that ,please !
If you know engines maybe you can figure out which rod cap goes where lol
i love how excited mook was. mook is an 80s suburban mom now
Seeing your wife get so excited about dragging home a project jeep was really cool. You've got a good one. Most times dragging home projects has the exact opposite effect.
That ratchet drop followed with the quick swap for the pliers was FLAWLESS. 😂
YES! actually paused and rewinded! it's like kevin had those pliers ready in his hand the whole time!
Y'ain't kidding lol
@@RemiCardona He does have’ em in a holster on his belt at all times I’ve noticed. Super handy actually.
"If you know anything about engines you should be able to get it too run" that had me dieing. Flashes back to every video Kevin's posted. "I know a thing or two" hahahaha
I would’ve replied that I’ve watched “pole barn garage’s” videos 😂
Yeah I thought that was pretty rich coming from the guy that ruined it
Yeah two and a half minutes into the video and I already think it can't get any better 😆
Kevin's humbled voice! I guess he also had flahbacks of every video he ever made while saying that.
ahah that was so funny, you just know he was smiling so hard when he said that.
Maybe should have been more skeptical........a lot more
Did Mook say the word Wedding, congratulations from Nova Scotia, 33 years of togetherness. 😅God bless
yeah they got engaged like 6 months ago maybe a year ago idk but it was in the video where kevin gave her that 72 oldsmoblie cutlass.
@@mromatic17 i go find that one they have great channel and content,fun stuff
oh i thought they were related
@@iplayksplol9974 they are!
Kevin, I really appreciate it when you go above and beyond when editing the videos to include part numbers and further explain a statement you've made. In this 'case' elucidating on kitting the transfer case to part time to reduce wear and tear on the front end. Seriously, thank you!
Wagoneer with wood paneling? Hell yeah!
Only the very early ones did NOT have faux wood.
Its a Grand Wag....highly collectible
we have one that was thrashed for years as our snow plow. no it was passed down to my sister and it's awaiting revivation.
In my opinion it's the only vehicle that the wood trim works.
Any car with that is 🤮🤮
@@HossEehoss - What about the Wagon Queen Family Truckster?
I've never seen Mook so close to the edge of utterly exploding with glee!
Same
Honestly, mook is like a child on Christmas when it comes to any vehicle. It's refreshing.
I wanted to see her explode with glee , so I could see the Mook unleashed , Mook makes the video fun 😁
I just gotta say mook and kevin are the perfect couple! you guys are so perfect for eachother! I am really happy for you guys! congratulations on the engagment!
I’m so happy for Mook I totally understand her excitement I love the old Wagoneer’s 😊
Back in the late 70's I worked at a AMC Dealership. And once in awhile we had to put that woodgrain trim on some of these. What a Major PITA.
Interesting! Figured that came factory, must've been customers paying for it later?
@@JunkyardDigs That's what we always thought. Somebody saw one on the lot and thought Hey can you guys put one on mine.
I like to eat tuna salad in my pita
@@JunkyardDigs It came from the factory, I assume they had to replace some. Maybe from a wreck or a warranty issue.
I owned a 72 Gremlin back in 79 and was amazed by the Chrysler transmission, Ford starter, solenoid, and various GM parts all rolled up in the Gremmy. Luckily it did not have the V-8 I would have killed myself. Handled like a tank, literally!
“If you know engines you’ll be good” lol
That man had no idea how important that sentence was about to get
@@JunkyardDigs same goes for the grammar in that sentence 😂
@@TheAceofIron I had originally said how much weight that sentence held, edited it wrong 😂
@@JunkyardDigs I know, I'm just nit-picking you, you're all good! Keep up the good content, it's perfect for binging, as I'm doing now while sick.
Mook is so cute. The excitement when she seen the Jeep ❤
@Junkyard Digs keep up the good work man tell mook we need more vids lol last thing what ever happend to the dodge ramp truck i love the old stuff have a good day/night when ever you see this
When I was young, my uncle had a '76 Wagoneer much like this one. While driving down the road and he let off the gas it would backfire and throw a 3 foot flame. We called it the Dragon Wagon. Good times.
One of my dads first cars was a bronco that did the same thing😂 but someone in the neighborhood called the cops so my grandpa made him tune it
The Dragon Wagon hahahaha. That’s priceless
The Mook !!!! 😂. Congrats on your upcoming wedding. You guys definitely belong together 👍🏻
I thought they were already married lol
@doctorwmarried at AutoZone and had reception at pep boyys....hodude82
we need a little wedding video!
@@MP-ww1dc announcements sent out via. Auto. Zone
But, but I still have change with Mook, right?
"Do you know engines?"
"I know a thing or 2."
So modest.
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! I can't imagine a better couple than the two of you.
I'm not as optimistic about the Jeep's engine though, I'm thinking that you might as well look for a replacement 😢.
Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Rusted frame Rusted floorboards rattling engine and high expectations for the the ole girl. I am not talking about Mook. Her excitement for this rusty pile is priceless.
They said 2 grand , I see scrap iron prices but which he’ll probably triple his money just off the video. Regular people don’t have that luxury.
Yeah, it is a POS...
She took a flooded truck and made gold with it. This will be cake
Just a hunka hunka burnin love as Elvis might say.
@@Robrt32he seems pretty regular
I love and respect how both husband and wife are passionate about fixing up old cars. Something they can share together.
They’re not married ( yet )
I love how you guys stay positive even when things don't go as planned. It's that never give up attitude that keeps me coming back to your channel. Keep up the great work!
You do not see these anymore, most end up on the scrap pile from excessive rust, but still glad to this this one was a survivor..
AMC engines use stamped steel pedestal rockers with aluminum pivots that wear out and cause a ton of valvetrain clatter. Pop the rockers off and check the pivots- I bet they’re trashed.
I'm 19 and own an 87' Wagoneer XJ with a 4.0 I6. Inherited it from my grandpa and it's truly a great vehicle. Been a SoCal/Nevada car it's whole life, no rust. Your videos were the motivation that got me to turn wrenches on it. I have done everything under the sun to that Jeep and it has been a blast to work on. Keep up the awesome content!
Nick - that XJ you have seems like a true gem. It goes without saying that since it was your grandfather's, it would be priceless to you no matter what but the fact that it's an optioned out XJ and that it's not ate up with rust? Trifecta, my friend. I'm glad you're passionate about keeping her running tip top. Maybe someday you'll be passing it down to a daughter or son! Thanks for sharing, brother.
That 4.0 will last forever. I wish Chrysler never dropped it. Change the oil and filter every 3k miles and enjoy.
@@josephlong7420 will a Mopar. 360 fit in the fsj wagoneer engine bay????
I took my old Wagoneer and swapped the gas tank out; the tank from an '86 Ramcharger fit between the frame rails in place of the spare tire, with about 1/2 inch to spare along the sides.
We had an 87 that we restored. Same color as yours. We loved our real SUV before SUVs were popular. Christmas day 2000, as we were waiting to turn left, a guy messing with has radio rear ended us. Broke the frame in 3 places. I miss her
Grew up with a 77 Cherokee Chief, I always loved it. My dad sold it when I was a teenager and said to me "you don't want to constantly be working on this thing". Still wish I had it.
believe it or not, for a car guy, those are the sweet words to want it even more!
“Ran without oil”
I mean, if it can channel any *shred* of being from that blessed 351 from that Ford wagon, I think it’ll be fine
So nice to see you and Mook together again. You both compliment each other so well. Love the jeep and hope you can make purr again.
seeing Mook that happy at the beginning gives me life :)
46:09 I heard it before you did the rod bearings. I am thinking spun main bearing at this point. 65 pounds of oil pressure doesn't mean there's not a bad main.
A couple things to check are to make sure the flywheel is tight and not cracked and remove the belts just to verify the noise isn't coming from an accessory. But that sounds like rod knock.
Thank you so much for turning on the closed captioning!
After lift kit, 35s, tune, big intake, changed trans to shift at 6300 rpm on my 04 ram i got 9mpg and really didnt care. Still cheaper than a car loan payment a month. My new diesel gets 15mpg and feels like I can go years between fill ups lol
A MOOK SIGHTING!
Put a set of bearings in that thing and roll on brother. I’ve had these Jeeps for 20 years now and have a 91 now and the old engine I had in it I put a set of bearings in it with just dropping the pan and doing it in the truck. I polished the crank with Emory cloth and it had some pretty nasty marks in it but this was over Christmas 2008 and parts stores were shut down and I needed the truck running so I went for it. My wife drove the truck to work 45 miles each way for the next 8 years and I just put a new engine in it this year. Those 360s are damn near bulletproof!!
82 cj7 with a 360,rebuilt and installed in 2003. Probably the most reliable engine I've ever owned.
I'm so glad I found you two. I've watched every single one if Mooks and alot from here. A polite request, would it be possible for Mook do some on her channel too & I would love to know if you still have the burnt Nova? And I love your relationship, it reminds me alot of how me and my wife were before she passed. Every so often you come across a couple that gafe such a special relationship you can just see it by just the way they talk to each other, theres something extra special n cool about it. My wife had energy like Mook.
Thanks Kevin and Mook, you two always make me smile. Classic Jeep!
Funny how nostalgia works!!! Growing up in the 80's, one of my neighbors had one and I thought this looked old and goofy compared to the styling of the then-new S-10 Blazers, Camaros and Trans-Ams,, Bronco II's, bullnose Fords and stacked headlights Chevy squarebodies.... But now it's one of my favorite vehicle of all time!
Skyler White called. She wants her car back 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have an 88 Grand Wagoneer that I'm trying to revive that was my late Uncles, first Jeep I ever rode in. Yes, those are factory wheels. I actually rebuilt my carburetor but for some reason it kept backfiring and blowing through the accelerator pump... so I might be the only person on Earth that swapped to a Chevy Rochester 2 barrel carb lmao. Still working on the revival video... so happy you guys got one and I can learn from y'all lol. These are amazing vehicles, best one Jeep ever released
Kevin coming into the shop with the snow blower running is the most Iowan man thing I’ve ever seen! 😂 you guys are awesome love your channel.
I hope you know just how lucky you are to have a woman like Mook. rarest of the rare it would seem. watching yall makes my heart happy.
I worked on the Jeep Wagoner line in Toledo Ohio back in the 80s, great ride, bringing good money these days.
I had one of those, dark blue with factory orange shag carpet. With brown leather and cloth seats. The engine started to sound just like yours when I traded it in, along with $2,000 for a 1991 Rally Vandura 2500 GMC conversion van. Very nice van too. 350cid w/400 trans. Posi rear axle
Had 62,000 original miles, and I put 75,000 more on it before giving it to a friend before I moved to North Pole, Alaska.
Hey Kevin, I spoke with Dalton a few days ago on a comment. I told him about an event in Southern Missouri called the hundred acre wood. It's a rally race and a really good time. If you can swing it, you guys should come down to Dalton's to replace the motor in the impala, and then come to the race near by. It would be great to meet everyone, the races are March 15-16. Look up the Hundred Acre wood Rally if you want to know more. Love the show guys, keep up the good work.
That distributer pickup is an induction sensor not hall effect. It makes ac voltage with 2 wires. A hall effect sensor is externally powered by 5v and would have 3 wires
I was gonna say, I didn't think it was a hall effect transistor... Anyways... She's a beaut clark! ...and the Jeep is pretty nice too! :)
Upside sounds great but I don’t drive enough, I still appreciate you sharing it with us Kevin! 👌🏻👍🏻 By the way I’m a 63 year old retired Welder and I drive a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 w/ a Cummins and I might fill it up every 2 -3 months now because I really don’t go anywhere these days brother! Plus I did the maintenance but I’m going to start getting someone else to do the maintenance for me from now on! I just crawl under it anymore my friend! Take care of yourself my friend because I wrecked my body for 37 years of total abuse on my body! Several surgeries and now enjoying my retirement isn’t happening! Utube has been my pick me up because of you guys! I enjoy watching all of yall! Thanks for sharing and always making my day my friends!
Bla bla bla.
Damn fam have some empathy 😅@@kdogg82
I'm 66, had a massive heart attack 3 years ago. I would suggest you find some groups or just a few friends and get out more, I have breakfast with a "Golden Oldies" group every Friday and a Veteran group on Saturday. Helps keep me sane and we help each other alot. Good luck
@@kdogg82You’re cringe.
@@kdogg82you're an A-1 weiner gobbler. 👍👍
Beautiful paneling 😍 I love that style.
Popular Mechanics did one of these. Took a Dodge Dakota, dropped the entire frame and run the Dodge frame under it. I would get a Dodge 1500 with the Hemi and patch the body up. The wife and I both love these.
Hi guys ! Very nice to see mook with you Kevin . She is a very nice girl to join you and is allot of fun on your channel . Have missed her . Do like these old jeeps . God bless .
The best fix for any engine noises or unwanted squeaks is a loud sound system. Obviously the louder the knock the bigger the speakers.
Back in the day, if you needed a replacement rod, machine shops had rods that spun a bearing resized back to original specs. So you might find a rod that had a #2 stamped on it, but in a different cylinder. Or a rod cap matched to a rod stamped 6.
I used to have an old Jeep Wagoneer when I was stationed up in northern Maine that had that same 360 motor and it was every bit as noisy as your 360 there. That old jeep was pretty much wore out and when I was getting ready to leave Maine and I got rid of it so I never bothered to check out the issue with it
Great to see the smile on MOOK's pretty face! Good job Kevin!
That's sick ass Cayonero
I had the 2 door and LOVED it! I went to Iraq as a combat medic and my stepdad sold my 1969 Mustang with the 351 WIndsor and the army left my jeep in an open lot for the entire deployment at Fort Lewis so it went from being perfect to covered in mold inside and destroyed, so I lost my 2 favorite vehicles thanks to a stepdad and the government in one combat deployment 😂 never found another of either I could afford on an enlisted man’s pay smdh have a blast guys that’s badass!❤
I also have an SJ FSJ. Rust is worse than mine. Lifters can be an issue but I spent years with an oil treatment hiding the issue before putting in new lifters and cam. Put in The snake oil and Get it hot.
Love those..and the old Comanches, too. Your guy's energy is contagious. Cheers !!
I wanted a Chomanche ever since high school! Almost bought a used one in '91, but bought a new S-10 (2wd) instead. I remember watching them kick butt in the minitruck racing series back in the 80s! Too bad Chrysler was afraid of competition with their own Dakota. I wish they had kept making them and made extended cabs and all that!
I am too tall for the Comanche. Almost got permanently stuck in a Comanche once. 😮😮😊
Love your videos! But can you maybe put a compressor on your audio? I enjoy watching in the background but if I put it loud enough to hear you guys talking, whenever you turn over an engine it's LOUD AS HECK! A compressor will bring those spikes in volume back down to a reasonable level. Just a request. :) Keep up the good work!
5.9 Magnum, 46RH, and your transfer case of choice? Dual exhaust, tin plate the floor, patch the frame, and the Uncle Buck-mobile will be damn near a SEMA build! :D
True story on the thick oil! I switched to 15/40 in my 2008 suburban with almost 200,000 miles! Prior to switching was leaking around rear main even after having it replaced! Now no oil leak!
Get yourself a 3/4-inch PVC T-fitting and notch the T end so it fits into the locking hub spider. Makes a nice tool for locking the hubs.
good tip...im gonna steal that
Those old wagoneers are badass!!
Great episode. Sucks about the engine, but definitely worth finding another AMC V8 to swap into it for the long term. Good to see the Junkyard couple working together again! 👍👍
I always enjoy seeing you and Mook working together on a project. Mook is definitely one of a kind.
I am looking forward to seeing you guys get the jeep running better
A buddy of mine had one of those trucks here in the uk .
He loved the truck hated the gas mileage it gave.
So he dropped a 4 cylinder diesel in it .
.
Love to find one over here now .
Nice video you guys are so good together. X
Get her restored. I love the wood paneling look.
*phone noise* Mook- "It finished installing." Lol! Rare bit of pure comedy. Nice!
Love episodes with Mook!
Thank you sooooo much for doing a full sized Jeep! I've had 13 and love them! Once you get used to them they are easy to work on and are great vehicles.
i live in holland and before i had my license i was obsessed with a jeep cherokee. I went to check one out with my dad and grandpa and i had the exact same reaction as her hahaha. Ended up not with a cherokee, but with a cherokee, wagoneer edition, from 1985. It's just like the cherokee, but it has chrome on the mirrors and door handles. It's such an easy car once you get it to run. We had a lot of work on it, but i wouldn't trade it for the world.
yayyyyy Mook is back! Those old Wagoneers are awesome. Idk the last time i seen one. Id say that engine deserves a full rebuild. What you said ab parking brakes is 100% accurate. My 05 F150 doesn't have one cuz it was all rusty and cut off and I've never used the one on my 03 Subaru Forester. I wouldn't dare use the one in my 65 Mercury Comet. So yeah here in the north on a vehicle that is getting older You are asking for trouble.
What a nice find and it puts a smile a mile wide on Mook. That’s how you know it’s a win. Watching the two of you get the jeep running and driving brings back old Jeep memories. 👍
14:14 I just brought a 77 Buick LeSabre back home to Indiana from Atlanta last week and had the oil pressure regulator assembly depart from the filter adapter. I was able to catch it quickly and pulled over before any damage was done, but these parts don't exactly sit on store shelves anymore. Luckily had a friend in the Buick community who loaned me a regulator to get home. I recommend anyone who drives something with an external oil pump like the Buick and AMC V8s to keep a spare oil pump kit in the trunk.
I plan on safety wiring my new regulator to keep it from backing out again.
Definitely check the flywheel for cracks before you pull that motor down. Had that happen to me before and it sounds just like a rod knock. Pulled the dust cover off the transmission and shined a flashlight on the flywheel and you could see the shiny metal in the cracks reflect back. Great job on getting it going again and I love watching you two work together on projects. It always entertaining. Keep up the good work!!!
Nice to see MOOK & Kevin together on a project. Jeep from the great days when AMC owned the brand !!!
Love Her Excitement !!!!!
Back in the mid 80s, I did my Eagle Scout community service project doing repairs to the pews in my church. The parish warden (in charge of repairs and maintenance in the church building) was a very sweet older gentleman who had a Jeep Wagoneer. It was older, but IMMACULATE! I have loved the Wagoneer ever since, and have always seen the Grand Cherokee as a sad replacement. I'd love to find a Wagoner, or even an old Cherokee, that hasn't been beat to death and super rusty. I'd much rather have one of these that a modern car filled with electronics. My daily commute is only 2 minutes, but I could pack it up to go camping, fishing, pull a small boat, etc. It also helps that I work in a NAPA Auto Parts store, and I've been working on cars for YEARS! We have lots of guys looking for parts for CJs, Wranglers, and Cherokees, but but not Wagoneers.
I would think people would worry about starting a motor with starting juices
Dope video man. I’ve been watching you for a while and I appreciate that you spit knowledge on the parts instead of just joking around and showing us clips. I’ve always wanted to do a restomod for a 240z and ya make it seem possible lesson by lesson. Mad respect for essentially teaching us all us viewers something.
You might check the harmonic balancer if you have looked at it yet. If the rubber deteriorates it can cause a knock that sounds like yours. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks for letting us know about the locking hubs - I had a vague idea of what they did when people locked/unlocked them in videos but I had no idea what they were doing specifically!
I have a 97 2 door Cherokee with a 5 speed that had a knock that got increasingly worse over time and thought it was a rod bearing being it had 207K miles on it and was beat to shit. Pulled the pan off and instead I found out that the number 6 piston had broken off a skirt. It now has a new freshened up 4.0 albeit with way more miles
Ooh that is not good. Loose parts are not fun to find. 😮😮😂😂😂
I did the opposite with a Dodge 3.8 on my Caravan. Lifters first and then realized the tick was coming from the rods. 130k miles ago and still running strong. 😂
You ran it 130k miles with rod knock?
Can't believe that thing is running so well with such a knocking noise. The Jeep is in pretty decent shape. It was a great video and hope to see more.
Gosh Mook has such a gorgeous smile 😊
I don't like commenting but love your channel your humor and the way you are doing your videos God bless and keep them coming thanks for giving people good quality videos thank you
I've been driving one since the 90's, we take it to the cabin every month, wonderful cars.
I'm glad to see this era jeep on here finally, Have always been my favorite, the AMC jeeps, I have an '86 Wagoneer, although not a woody and mines been 5.2 magnum swapped.. I wish more people would preserve the AMC engines.
Also those wheels, the turbine wheels have always been my favorite kind of wheel!
I wonder if it's piston slap you are hearing, I have a '87 Cherokee aswell with the 4.0 and they are known for piston slap, mine has piston slap for sure and it sounds very similar, actually, exactly the same.
it's the one in my profile picture, ran it with piston slap for 5 years, ate a little oil, ran out of oil once even, still going strong, gone on most glaciars of Iceland slappin those cylender walls hahah.
Planning the wedding??????? YEAH!!!!!!!!
Ive struggled with understanding wiring diagrams and have been working real hard at work to get better at it. I know what you explained was a pretty simple system, but i actually understood both your explanations and the diagram. Thanks for that very small confidence boost!!
I enjoy Kevin and Mook working on cars together. You guys make great videos!
I love your simple explanation of wiring, and the use of diagrams. to me that is stuff that I don't know anything about and stresses me out. thanks
Ive picked up 3 AMC 360 engines for my 1 Jeep project. They all have the same crank problem, and similar noise. The thrust bearing eats into the crank and gives a bunch of front to back end play. I've sent one crank out to a shop in MI to have it welded and turned.
I had a 96 jeep Cherokee 4.0, now I have a 98 jeep grand Cherokee 5.2. I’m totally here for this!!
Wanna buy a '04?
Y’all are the perfect couple…..
I had two of these. 1982 & 86. I loved them! I bought both 8 years old with 70k+ miles used. I felt like a rich man on those leather seats. I wanted to find another but the quit making them.
Zero engine or transmission issues, they just rusted away...
Mook is the coolest. Why can't we have more girls like that? You both rock 😊
