im about to get a non running 1988 suburban as a project for mainly a bug out vehicle. would it be alright to tow with a uhaul two wheel car dolly? anyone ever tow something that big with one? im not going very far. maybe like 30-40 miles. what yall think?

 

Yeah, as long as the 'Burban doesnt rust in half during the trip.

 

haha na it actually ain't got any rust which is surprising only reason it needs a tow is a piston grenaded. inside and body and under is perfect except for some paint peelin. which is fine because i was gonna sand it down and paint it OD green.

 

Well thats good. Its really hard to find a Chevy in that generation (or any Chevy for that matter) that isnt completely rusted out. Good luck!

 

ya u will be fine,, turn OD off

man NC got sum nice rust free car down there

 

hell yeah some of em are. but some are ****. this one ain't got a motor in it. good god that thing is in GREAT shape. crawled under it and not a bit. **** its in better shape than my dodge does and its 11 years older. slap a rebuilt 350 in it and call it a day. oh and 108k on it. not bad at all if ya ask me for a grand

 

If you are using a dolly, pull the driveshaft out of the burban before towing it, otherwise, you may end up with a smoked transmission, as well as a bad motor.....

 

Will the wheels even clear the fenders of the dolly when you turn? The wheels on the dolly should turn a few inches when you turn, that makes it about impossible to back up when you have a vehicle on it.
I'm thinking of a friends car dolly that I had for a while, Uhaul might have a different style.

 

i was thinking i could just slap the transfer case in neutral and the transmission in neutral. shouldn't that work?

 

Maybe....... I am not sure that it actually disengages everything. It should..... but, removing the driveshaft is only four bolts, and is Guaranteed to work.
