SubieDaddy80 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hey everyone, name is Chad and I just joined the forum about a month ago! I have a 1986 Subaru GL 4X4 Wagon. My first Subaru was a 90 Legacy AWD. So far im loving the site! I am doing my first Subaru run ever next month with the Hatch Patrol X-Mas Tree Run! Cant wait to meet everyone that shows! I am glad to see a forum that is also into the old school Subies and doesnt shun them like I have found on many of the other forums and sites. Again, I am really glad to be a part of USMB and I am totally pumped about the run next month!! Later:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobieDoo Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Welcome! I can't believe how many people have viewed your thread without at least saying hi. I'd love to see some pics of your rig...86's are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskan 2 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Greetings from LaConner.. 1998 subaru outback wagon EJ25 DOHC with 245K on my second set of head gaskets, and second engine. the last motor, a CCR's engine that I was told wasn't going to knock (35K and sounded like a diesel) or blow head gaskets (117K and internal leak) and wasn't overheated. they told me "" our engines don't have a head gasket problem "" I will never have anything good to say about these people again. AAA 'theshop' Subaru in Anchorage has special gasket made just for them that don't fail. All the Subie Taxi's up north use them without a problem. many have over 300k with no problems. Hopefully Kirts (AAA theshops) head gasket are the answer to this Subaru problem. Something Subaru of America and CCR subie engine don't want to talk about. Anyway, im getting real good at R & R subie engines and head gaskets. My outback has 14 round trips on the AlCan Highway and 3 Rt on the North Slope haul road.

alaskan 2 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 where is this run thats on the 6th of Dec starting at & where is it going ? 2 below in Anchorage this morning and heading to LaConner next week. Anchorage to LaConner is just a 2348 mile trip with Canada gas prices at a little over $5.00 per U.S. gallon. My subie gets around 26 MPG on USA Chevron gas and only 21 of the Canada gas. mileage droped to 16 MPG when it got down to 50 below on last years trip. Subaru's are the number one selling car in Alaska. Subie taxi cabs EVERYWHERE up here. Put a set of studded tire on them and they will go anywhere. Hope this storm that is blowing into Washington isn't too bad on ya. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Welcome. But I'm confused. You called me about the tires, and are coming to get them this afternoon. But Breeke, said he had just called me at the same time last night. . . Either way, see you this afternoon Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I get it now. You guys did call me within 10 minutes of eachother. Of course my phone's a pile of &*%# and I never hear it ring. When I checked caller i.d., I only noticed 360 #s and didn't look closer to see they were different. Sorry about that Breeke. But yeah, they're sold to Chad.
