mine doesn't even compare to some of these. after a great day offroad, about 150 miles from home, i heard what sounded like small exhaust leak, then like a lifter tick. nothing life of death, but i wanted a look. no shoulders, just ditches, and right before i made it to the off ramp, rod #7 let go. spun bearing is my best guess. thankfully, my friend let me use one of his AAA tows. that helped a whole lot. got me over 100 miles, to dallas, at least. the next day, i drove my pickup out there with a uhaul trailer to drag the beast home. uhaul said the trailer would be wide enough. nope. idiots. i had to chain the trailer to a cop tahoe (he was cool with it) so it wouldn't move, and use my truck to drag the k5 over the trailer fenders until the front wheels sat down on the other side of them. i'd like to thank my dad and the dallas cops for the hand. would have taken me forever to do that myself. who says offroading isn't a team sport?
