Would you drive 2300 miles based on these conditions -

Y'know what they say: 62% of all Fords ever made are still on the road...



















...the rest made it home safely.

With that list of repairs already made, only thing extra I'd suggest is have a spare ignition control module and ignition coil. Do fresh fluids, and drive the pi$$ outta her.

An old quote that I remember finding years ago, but can't remember where.

"I have seen many GM cars run poorly for far longer than other cars run period."

I made the round trip to SoCal with the Burb and zero problems. I ran 80-82mph down there and I averaged 18mpg. On the way back I was 10,200 pounds and I ran 70mph and I averaged 12mpg. This is also the original 4L60E. Occasionally you get the rare 4L60E that somehow beats the odds.

That's still pretty darn good. So around a 5,000# trailer?

My buddy has an 01 Silverado RCSB with 4.3/4L60e. Last I heard from him he was pushing 380k miles. Original drivetrain. They are out there...

6x12 enclosed uhaul with the burb loaded with boxes to the roof from the front seats to the rear door.

I waited until the trailer was returned!

You know good and well you don't need a trailer to waste a 4L60
