HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO AVOID TBONE SITUATION FROM BOTH SIDES. SCARED ME HORRIBLY. BACKED UP MORE TRIED AGAIN TO GO FORWARD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ENGINE WAS REVVING AT HIGH RPMS BUT TRUCK WOULD ONLY MOVE INCHES AT A TIME IN FORWARD MOTION. SO I TRAVELED BACKWARDS IN REVERSE THE LENGTH OF THE WHOLE STREET I WAS ON TO GET BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY AND BACKED UP MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I PARKED AND CALLED FOR A RIDE FROM MY HVAC TECH WHO WAS MEETING ME AT MY CHURCH TO INSTALL MUCH NEEDED AC UNIT. ONLY A COUPLE DAYS EARLIER, I HAD FLUID LEAKING AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR, THE TECH INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE TANK HAD FAILED. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED, THE TANK, RADIATOR AND FLUID REPLACED. HE TOLD ME IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME WITH NISSANS. I WILL ATTACH INVOICE FROM HIGHLY REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP.
