Just finished a pull from Miami to Seattle with the new Suburban I picked up a few months back. 5525 miles and 734 gallons of gas makes it the worst gas milage ever, but what a pleasant experience compared to the Trailblazer SS! Couple of bumps along the way with blown trailer tires, broken WD hitch, etc...but overall it was an awesome trip and the Suburban pulled like a beast!
Whoa! How did the WD break?? Glad you made it. Sounds like it was an awesome trip.
My thoughts exactly. Glad you are alright. I recognize that pull-out along Jackson Lake.
Not sure exactly how or when it broke, but I believe it happened somewhere on 287 out of Yellowstone. Actually didn't even notice it was broke until the following morning in Butte when I was doing a walk-around before taking off again. It ended up snapping the bracket in half that the sway bar connects to on the frame of the trailer. Luckily there was an RV place in town and they were able to get me all sorted out. It was definitely one of those moments where I looked at it and thought "Wow, that could've been bad!".
Good eye on the location Renee, that's exactly where I snapped this pic!
