Default Effect of trailer towing on transmission


Don:

A couple of suggestions. First, when you load up the boat for towing,
see what you can do to lower wind resistance on the boat. Anything you
can pack into the van will help. Second, make sure your trailer tires
are properly inflated. Mine take 60 pounds, but yours probably will be
less. Third, make sure the bearings on the trailer axles are properly
lubed and the wheels are spinning freely when you raise each off the
ground to check. Fourth, every couple hundred miles, when you stop for
gas, feel the exterior of the bearings. If they are too hot to touch,
you have a problem. Fifth, bring a grease gun with you. Sixth, bring an
extra trailer bearing with you. Seventh, don't drive above 55-60 mph.
Eighth, make sure your tow vehicle's tires are properly inflated. Ninth,
change your tow vehicle's oil and air filter before your trip. Tenth,
bring along some spray to kill the fleas.


Very good, Hairball, excellent advice and you're being polite for a
change!

Radical Moslems hate Jews worse than anyone and they have that big fat
Jewish
ass of yours in their cross hairs. You protection lies in the arms of
Dubya
and the US Army. Now repeat this three times: "Thank God for Dubya
and the US Army".
