Driving from Chicago to San Diego. Which route will put the least stress on my older car?
Posted by admin on Nov 25, 2009 under Arizona Desert Landscaping
So I am moving out to San Diego for a new job. I am taking my old 94 blazer, and want to go as easy as possible on it, so I am wondering which route I should take.
It’s basically between going through Colorado and Utah or going further south through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. I’m not too familiar with the landscape, but I would figure that the southern route has more deserts, where as the northern way has more mountains (which could be rough on my transmission).
Also, is it better to drive the desert during the day, or at night since it gets so much cooler?
55 South to the 44 South to the 40 West.
Use a thick oil for hot weather.

I’ve made the trip twice.
It isn’t the route, but your driving habits that place stress on the vehicle.
But taking the southerly route, and driving through the desert in the night and early morning [so the sun is at your back] would be best.
Better idea: Screw the Interstate! Take the back roads; take it easy, and enjoy the trip!
