Driving with front prop shaft removed

Have 2007 Pathfinder, need new universals on front propshaft, can I remove front propshaft and still drive in 2 wheel drive? I know there is some special clutch affair in the transfer box, will this be OK driving without front propshaft?

The alignment shop said its the lower link arm which I replaced.
The vehicle has Iron man springs and shocks, otherwise stock.
Doubt it could be frame as never been in accident.

Rear wheel alignment toe issue

I have an issue with the rear alignment on my Pathfinder, the drivers side wheel toe is out quite a bit, you can basically see it with the naked eye. I was advised by local wheel alignment chaps to replace lower link arm which has the adjustment bush on it, did that but no difference. Any suggestion...

Rear door adjustment

Anyone know if there is any way to adjust the rear door on Pathfinder? Mine rattles over bumps, worried it may get worse as the rattling wears the lock mechanism.
Tried loosening both male and female side of lock, each only have about 1mm play. Also tried hinge bolts with same result

Low oil indication

This morning when I started my pathy a display came on (replacing the odometer reading saying "lo oil".
I stopped and checked oil level, all OK. Drove on and it went off withing 1km.
What could this be? Does it come on from oil level or oil pressure?
This is on a 2.5 diesel engine

Its only when loading the engine, such as uphills and towing etc.
If I slack off, it comes down easily, but by keeping below 650 Deg C (1200 Deg F) it feels like only using about 80% of available power

EGT

Anyone know what the exhaust gas temperatures should be on YD25 diesel engine.
Under load mine goes up over 750 deg C (1400 deg F), which I am sure is too high and may be indicating worn injectors?
Did take it to Nissan to query, but not sure they even know what EGT is.

R51 Diesel cylinder head

My Pathfinder (2.5 diesel) blew a head gasket, the garage tells me that the cylinder head is probably warped, but cannot be skimmed on these vehicle, I thus need a replacement, is this true?

Positive camber

I have recently had my wheel alignment done on 2007 Pathfinder and can see a positive camber on rear wheels, the guys at the wheel alignment shop claim this is OK, are there any negatives?

Towing a manual tranmission

I have a 2007 manual 2.5 diesel Pathfinder, the owners manual states it should only be towed using a flatbed, is this really the case or can it be towed at limited speed with all 4 wheels on the ground in neutral?

How does this sophisticated gearbox/ transfer box help if the front or rear wheels do not have lockers, ie. any two wheel (at times even one wheel) can spin by itself? I tried my 2002 Toyota with standard transfer box versus my Pathfinder 2007 with full auto box on a particular slippery slope, both ...
