Whether you are towing a vehicle or a boat, the same safety rules apply. Make the mistake of cutting corners, and you put everyone on the roads in danger.

Before towing, walk around the vehicle and make certain the brake lights are all working. Disconnected wires could cause a rear-end collision when other drivers were not aware you were coming to a stop.

Be sure that you have the right mirrors and they are properly adjusted so that you can see all the way around both sides of the object that you are towing behind your vehicle. 

When unpleasant noises are coming out of your car, and shifting to the four-wheel-drive mode is proving more of a hassle than it's worth, you might start wondering whether a major car repair is in your future. There's no reason to panic. Your vehicle may just need transfer case service.

The transfer case is the box in which a set of gears take care of distributing or shifting power to the vehicle's axles. The parts of the transfer case are kept lubricated by a special fluid. After miles of driving, the transfer case fluid must be replaced…
