Drove kubvan #337 225 miles today.... Who ever thought a 4 speed and na diesel is safe is crazy.... Vanagons could pass it on hills.... But its at my new place... Only got 32mpg and would not even crack 70 downhill

Simply put a slow-moving vehicle triangle on the back of it. Attach little racks on the side of the rig (next to the driver's door) where a geriatric wheeled walker can be fitted for transport, and put an oversized AARP sticker/card in the side window.....and get yerself a pair of those wrap-around super-dark glasses! Ta-da....good crusin' from here on oooot!

Don't forget the "I brake for bingo parlors" bumper stickers. Perhaps, a "I fought so you young whippersnappers can be free" sticker as well!

How many why you paint it blue do you think ive gotten 

Worst was guy asking why i painted it white again    so so slow... Going to bmw, burger king, mc ds, wallmart, for those not knowing bmw lingo, i found on freway belt... 55mph in 3rd... Shift to fourth slows ya down to 50... So gotta down shift... Slow it is...

Get a 2.25" exhaust on it and you will be amazed at how much of a difference it makes.    I did it on my 91 Golf NA using the stock exhaust manifold and making my own tubing up back to the muffler and then to the bumper.   I've got a post on here about it.    I've never had another vehicle where an exhaust upgrade made so much of a difference with no other adjustments.

Not.... Lol... If anything its lack of backpressure.... 2.5" straight pipe off manifold....  No turbo.... Loud it id

[iamdieselnutmechanic]

Back pressure on an engine with no valve overlap?

hmm

[CRSMP5]

  why i am staiting its straight pipe vs constricted... I too doubt

Do like the splitty bus lads, placard up and roll with it. Embrace the slow.
