The 2wd burb thread. Fixed!!!!

2wd big block burb tow rig
I don’t know if I posted this or not already. But the fans are louder than this at idle and you can barely hear it cruising.. once you are on it it comes on but not loud and more like OEM volume.

Finally found the vids of my Jones quiet tone... Vid during day is stock single, 5.3. After dark is stock size replacement. Notice the rock crunch, and cicadas volume as opposed to the exhaust


 
I drive past this car just about everyday on my way in to work, stopped and got a pic for you. I bet this exhaust is dang quiet, I'll knock on the door and ask him who his muffler guy is if you want to try something similar :D

So we finally got snow here and a couple of interesting things

First off the tires you guys got for this thing are pretty decent in the snow.

Also I really like the gov lock in the snow and ice.

I really need to remind myself this is a 2wd lol. Haven't been stuck yet though.

Also I hear most prefer barn doors over the tailgate and I have had both, but found one solid reason to like barn doors. My back window froze shut. Had to get the ol heat gun out and thaw it out.

Another thing I think cruise control makes a big difference in mileage on these. Mine has become sporadic and I'm back into single digits for mileage. Pretty sure I just need to replace the stalk though. Not all the cruise functions worked originally but I could set it. So I think all the hard bits are still functional.

I'll get a new one soon and report back.

Heading to my parents house in the burb tomorrow, spending Christmas there.

Pretty awesome feeling, and humbling to know I'm driving a burb a bunch of guys pitched in to get for me.

Just so you guys know I still think about that fact all the time and I'm still blown away by the generosity.

Ever get that window in?

This is the first time I found this thread.

Here is a pic from your trip home with the Blazer shell.

No cause I broke it. Yep broke it. I had it wrapped up in a blanket. Was super careful unloading everything I bumped the door. Really lightly through the blanket. Went in getting ready to clean it and bam huge crack where I bumped.

I was soooooooooooo mad. The term hopping mad comes to mine.

It was cool to meet you though Martin so no matter, and now I know where you live, and that Nebraska IS NOT FLAT lol.
 
Weird that they didn’t run the interstate through the hilly parts......

That’s too bad about the window. I can find more, let me know the next time you are coming through!

May have for all I remember lol. Haven't been there since grade school. Just remember it was the only state I hated riding through in dad's semi :D
 
If you're in single digits it might and probably is something more serious like the coolant temp sensor. Barney is in single digits and you can smell it, it's not right but it runs pretty good. Gonna have to do some digging.
 
Love the title change by the way :D

Not sure why but when I first seen it I could have sworn it said "turbo 2wd"....... First glance and all.:rolleyes:

Maybe it was prophetic..? :thinking:. Lol
