Temporarily added a uhaul trailer to reduce highway mpg from FL to NC.

How did it tow ?

 

[Bargeld]

So far, like a champ. 4hrs & 280 miles so far. Not a single burp from the CVT, even in rain (which has happened to me previously while not towing, and ultimately led to fluid change time). The extra trailer weight actually helped in the rain, keeping me rock solid at the very beginning of a serious deluge with zero hydroplaning.

Probably another 6-8hrs and 400 miles tomorrow!

(Also keep in mind that I have no external cooler for my bone stock CVT as I drive from southeast FL through GA, SC, and into NC in 90+ degree September weather!)

Thats awesome.

I got limp mode in my 2012 SV doing 70mph for like an hour in Vermont albeit it was 90deg. She had maybe 18k at the time.

Flawless Victory!

And as an added bonus prize:

Too bad the range was 66 miles. Close tho.

 

[Jaxxa]

imagine if it was 66 degrees outside, and driving 66 miles per hour? I'd be gettin spooked

I updated the Connect 3 radio software to vD605 on my 2015 Juke.
Next up is inserting the 2022 v7 Europe maps SD card when it arrives in the mail.
Oh yeah, and I registered as a new contributing member on the forum.

Was it an easy job Updating the firmware?

I got a Juke 2019 (So just before the new ones came out) and the Conenct 3 is V old!

I drove my Juke. I hit 13k miles now. So sad.

Muffler delete on a 2014 Nissan Juke Nismo RS

Did a muffler delete on my car. Pretty happy with the sound.

 

[Macgyver]

The turbo blocks a lot of direct sound.

I deleted everything and went with 2.75:" pipe and a down pipe but kept the OEM Muffler. That worked really well and was no louder than stock.

Pollen season in NC right now. How bad is it, you ask?

I ran through a quick car wash this morning and came out with one of the best quick washes I've ever had. Went to get a haircut for 30-ish minutes. Came out to this:

Just saw this thread. I want to do more utility type stuff with my Juke. U-haul trailer results looks promising. I'm needing to move heavy equipment around and I'm thinking of renting out trailers for dock pickups and such. Never thought I'd need to press the Juke into service as a truck but I might now otherwise I'm looking at a Ford Maverick at some point. Cool though, nice job.

I've towed with it cross country from IL to NC to FL and inbetween at least 3 or 4 times. I have had 0 problems. Curt hitch and harness.

 

[turbo noob]

Today I had a real bad case of " while I'm in here". I had some squealing from serpentine belt and after looking into it found that the alternator pulley was in bad shape so I inspected the rest of the stuff down there and noticed the water pump pulley had a little wobble also, so I said **** it I'll change all of it then, so while I was in there I changed... belt, tensioner, water pump, alternator, crank seal, all oem replacement so should be good for another 123k miles

 

[Macgyver]

Oh lordy. That was a lot of work @turbo noob

 

[turbo noob]

Was totally worth it considering I have put 120k miles on it with only routine oil changes, and brakes.
