Leaving TOAD running while pulling
I have a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country which I tow on a dolly and I would like to flat tow. In order to flat tow it would require a Lube Pump but I have been told another option is to leave the van ...

Back in the early 2000's, I had a Ford that required a lube pump to tow 4 wheels down.
On the advice of a few, I towed it with the engine running about 600 miles.
Long story short, didn't work, had to replace the traany.
When the engine is running the torque converter and pump are both spinning regardless of driving or idling.
HOWEVER in this case the pump is running at idle speed, the driveshafts are running at highway speed and not all models pump much fluid around when in idle anyway.
