    How To: Reduction Gear Oil Change

    Ended up doing it underneath with the front on ramps, back lifted up. Got a little hand pump that screws onto the top of the quart, so piece of cake. Thanks for the good info.

    The Definitive "CLICKING NOISE FROM FRONT OR REAR AXLE DURING TAKE-OFF/ACCELERATION" list

    I have the clicking noise when it’s cold, took it to the dealer, and they looked all around and found nothing obvious. The problem with any EV is they are so quite that you literally hear everything. So I just turn up the radio.

    Can I tow with my 2019 ze1?

    My leaf tows great. I only have 1-1/4, mainly for a bike rack. But the two times I’ve towed a 12’ aluminum lawn trailer, couldn’t even feel it.

    Drafting trucks on the highway…

    When it’s 25-35°F, I bet 2-bar drafting adds 30 more miles or I just turn off my heater. I have a standard 120 mile trip I do twice a week. Without heat or air-conditioning, it’s usually 10% battery left. But when my toes get cold,…

    Drafting trucks on the highway…

    Some excellent recommendations! Makes me wonder why Nissan gives you a one bar option, thinking that’s really not too safe and highway speeds. At 60mph on ProPilot: 3-bar = ~2 sec / 190’ 2-bar = ~1.5 sec / 145’ 1-bar = ~1 sec / 95’ Standard US truck lengths are 72’, seems like to 3-bar is...

    Drafting trucks on the highway…

    I’m not big on highway truck drafting, but it really increases my range. At 65mph, Avg is 2.8-3.0 without, 4.0-4.2 with. Sometimes it’s the difference between having heat versus no heat, just to get home without needing to fast charge. Your opinion?

    Monster Leaf

    2018+ suspension will only accommodate about 30-35 mm of lift in the back. More than 35 and will max-out the shock travel hitting rebound limits…

    Dealer's unbelievable trade-in offer...

    Lol - the 82% was a rounded number. Car cost close to $22k with taxes. A good deal 2 years ago, so I thought ;-)

    Dealer's unbelievable trade-in offer...

    Great to hear. This is my 2nd leaf. First one was in accident. Totaled due to battery compartment damage. Took the check and bought this one. It’s really been flawless so far, guess we’ll just drive it until it’s more expensive to repair than replace.

    Dealer's unbelievable trade-in offer...

    You make some great points. Based on the full insurance rates being higher than any of our other vehicles, our first instinct is to drop to liability only. Our son starts driving in a few months, so could be a good reliable car for him.
