Going to Canada!!!
I'm going to Canada in a few days on August 7th. I'm going from my home in Willows, California to Vancouver, BC Canada which is a total of 817 miles one way. You can see the map
here. It will be a hell of a trip!! I can't wait to pick up my Z!!! I have two questions though, I've heard many different things so I figured I would ask all of you. What do I need, specifically, to go into Canada and come back into the U.S.? Also, will my transmission (4L60E) hold up? I know that the 4L60E's are weaker than a kindergarden schoolgirl so I'm a bit worried. Does anybody have any towing tips to help keep my tranny together? Any feedback will be appreciated!
Thank You

I've driven from San Diego to Seattle up the 5 a couple of times and it's no big deal really. Straight shot. If you're towing with the 4L60 I'd say just be sure you have a tranny cooler (factory or otherwise - my truck came with a towing package but doesn't have a cooler if you can believe that). If you don't have a shift kit, get one installed if you can. Otherwise, enjoy the drive, it's beautiful, especially around the Lake Shasta area. Have fun!
