I used one of those Uhaul car haulers with my Pathy a few weeks ago when I bought a 1977 Datsun truck . We were only going about 90km (55 miles) but it was not pleasant. The trailer vibrated the whole way. When I returned it I looked at the tires, three were bad and one was dead bald! Please check the tires before you take their trailer. Oh and FYI it needed a 4 pin connector, no trailer brakes. I had to borrow a 7 to 4 pin adapter to hook it up.PathAZ wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 12:11 pmThank you for the fast response
I was thinking about renting an auto transport trailer through U-Haul for the Z: https://www.uhaul.com/Trailers/Auto-Tra ... Rental/AT/

You bought a 1977 Datsun truck? Tell us more...my first vehicle was a 1986 (not a 1986.5), last model year 1986 Nissan truck. Metallic blue just like my Pathfinder, because obviously I had to have the same thing if I could get it! But that one had zero options except an AM/FM radio, big swing-out mirrors, and a chrome rear bumper (aka the "California Package").Spatula wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 4:42 pmI used one of those Uhaul car haulers with my Pathy a few weeks ago when I bought a 1977 Datsun truck .

The intake tract air is only going to get heated a trivial amount...pathy-logical wrote: ↑Sun Jul 26, 2020 11:54 amAn increase in transmission fluid temp will cause a corresponding increase in coolant temp. I monitor torque because a slipping transmission will not generate as much torque. An increase in heat under the hood will cause the intake air temperature to rise. That and/or a decrease in torque will cause a drop in horsepower. So I'm indirectly monitoring my trans temp and efficiency. Another thing you should know is long pulls up grades in a gear which doesn't allow the torque converter to lock up will generate a lot more heat as the torque converter slips.
