I didn’t. We were driving through the parking lot to leave during a rainstorm when the accident happened. That pole was the outermost spot on the interior roadway. I was just returning to the scene of the crime for the post-mortem photo.

I remember when you were replacing the engine in this Suburban.
Very cool you have kept it all these years and it is still in such great condition.

Yeah, I think I’m also the last mechanic still around who knows how to work on them. Especially since it’s a 1995 version. They were the only OBD1 version. OBD2 came in 1996 and used a different way to time the injection pump. It’s fun to keep it going since it’s like a Rube-Goldberg type of contraption. And the more modern HUMVEE replacement engine is a lot more dependable and powerful: 300 hp and 500 lbs of torque versus the original (and unreliable 190 hp/380 torque)
