Since it'll be driving 1500 miles with a 3500+ lbs trailer behind it, I thought it'd be a good time to get some stuff done.
What the dealer did:
Change oil
Flush ******
New transfer case oil
new coolant
new front diff oil

Did the rear on my own about 5k ago.


I know $600 is steep....but until I have surgery Easter weekend, I'm kinda out of commission for a bit for stuff like this.

You are no longer going to reside in FL? What? New Job or something?
Anyways HJ, good thing to have it ready for that haul,with fresh fluids.
Safe Driving, I hope the trailer has brakes and you got a connector for it !

Well, good luck on the move... I am trying to get out of here my self and land in Charlotte if I can make it work. Been in Tampa for 19 years.

I say a professional car moving company should move the LR.. keep her covered

I've been here for 12...from Chicago/NW IN originally. Just can't deal with the heat any more. :)

LR, if it's not traded in in FL, will be driven up to WI with a trailer behind it over the summer, when the family and I make the final drive up...

Once moved, I think HJ will be shopping again for snow flake rated tires come winter.
Look at the bright side, you beat the heat in summer and vacation in FL in winter!
(snowbird) LOL.
