With my Brat.  There was a Suburban in the inside traffic lane of US36 going to Boulder today.  Quite a dangerous spot to be, on a 6 lane limited access highway, with no inside shoulder.  I stopped to find out what the problem was.  And she thought it was out of gas.  So of course I asked her what the gas guage was at, to which she replied it didn't work... I see.

 

Anyways, got out the tow rope, hooked up to the land whale, and pulled it up a hill and over to the exit, then into the gas station.  Found out that I REALLY need to replace my radiator, as I was pegged at the top for a bit(I was too worried about the traffic to notice this at first).  Decided it was a bad idea to shut off the car while it was pegged, knowing it could cool itself by running.  Then went and bought a new radiator for it.

 

But I'll be damned if a 2,500lb Subaru can't pull a 6,000lb land whale.

ON a short controlled tow it is amazing what you can pull. It is that doing it regularly thing over a long distance where things get tricky

oh no - hope the EA81 is okay!!!!!

I don't see why it couldn't, I used to pull people out of the ditch with my sameri all the time no problem, once I pulled a 3/4 ton ford out of a snow bank, but of course that could be part of the reason the trans failed later lol

I hope your car is okay.

If i had a 1$ for every deadbeat i pulled out i whoud not  have to work anymore

Lol +1 if only they would give you a dollar for pulling them out, I don't think that's a bad price

Well it drove home to Denver from Boulder ok, so I think everything is fine.  Except the radiator, which I knew was a problem before.  Replacing it today.

Put that in your karma bank.

I hope everything turns out ok. Even for a short distance, it still makes me proud to be a subaru owner!

Pulling a burban is impressive but the day I had to pull an 82 dodge d350 4 door ext cab from being high cintered... Then it was sent to the shop for a wheel bearing. Guess the truck helped destroy the hub, needed a new control arm
