  • Does Adding Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 Bypass the Factory Cooler on a 2001 Nissan Maxima
  • When adding an aftermarket transmission cooler like # D13503 to a vehicle, you do not bypass the factory cooler. The Derale cooler will be installed in line with the existing system so that it supplements the factory cooler. It accepts the same transmission fluid that is used in the transmission. You may or may not need to add more fluid. I have included a link to our FAQ article on Transmission Coolers and a link to a video showing a typical installation.

  • Can 2020 Nissan Maxima Tow Small Jet Ski Trailer
  • I pulled up the owner's manual of your 2020 Nissan Maxima online and found that Nissan states that your vehicle should not tow a trailer.

What we (and our hitch manufacturers) have found is that even when the manufacturer state...

  • Why Does the 360 Picture Have a Missing Bolt
  • When the photo department puts together products for picture purposes they don't always tighten everything thing down and on occasion they might miss a bolt or two. When you install this you will need to use all of the installation hardware and properly torque down all of the fasteners. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Tips for Installing Trailer Wiring Harness # 119175KIT on a 2000 Nissan Maxima
  • First, you will not have to purchase different bulbs, the factory ones in the car will work fine with wiring harness # 119178KIT. Normally we have customers use the included circuit tester to find the correct wires. Using your multi-meter is even better. We have not had the chance to install this harness on a 2000 Nissan Maxima so I cannot tell you what the wire colors are. But if you do re-test the wires and come up with the same functions as you have here, that would indicate you have...

  • Curt Hitch Installation Difficulty Versus Draw-Tite on 2007 Maxima
  • I've looked over the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite # 24788 (no longer available) and the Curt # C11264. I've linked you to the installation instructions for all three hitches, and as you can see, the procedure for installing all three hitches is identical. There are differences between the hitches, however. The Draw-Tite Class I, # 24788 includes the hitch and the installation hardware only. If all you were needing the hitch for is to provide an attachment point for a bike...
