Seem to have read that Ford wheels are especially prone to this sort of theft. Well, at least they tried to get it up off the rotors. Thieves with a conscience, I don't think so. Leverage was their need to pilfer. Actually, kind of angers me, I hate thieves. My family was robbed 4 times in Nipomo, CA back in the day. We lived on 10 acres in a single wide mobile home, prime for the pickin'. Nothing like coming home and finding all of your stuff ransacked. You just feel dirty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Evening gang 80 Degrees @ 10Pm. In from the farm run and started preparing the Dodge, good 4 Hrs prep for 1st trip of the year. Last thing i had to do was check/Balance all tire pressures, passenger side / inside tire flat as road kill. No Biggie. Hummmm, thought i heard something strange on the way home, but with Calif Chit roads its hard to tell sometimes. I carry a new spare, so throw that on in the morning and get a new one in Reno....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checking tire pressures should not be the last thing you do, it should be the first thing you do in the AM. All tire pressures are recommended at a 'Cold' rating. Best to check them in the AM when they're not warmed up. PSI will increase with heat, driving, so setting PSI when they're warm is a No-No. Believe me, it matters. I drive a ton, so forgive me for throwing a little 'Mom' at you. Just trying to keep you safe. Love, Mom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a good 'On the Road Again' or necessity driven? Being on the road for vacation, fun, is one thing, but being on the road for work, well, kind of wears me out. So many times I wished that the family was with me on my ventures. It would change the whole dynamic of the drive. If you're traveling for fun, hats off to you. If it's necessity driven, well, more power to you, it's a grind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 24, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well kind of both, going back to Hope to work on the museum, Volunteer of course. The bad part, about 7 hours each way, the good part is we will be with friends until Sunday when we leave. That would be nothing for a truck driver or someone who drives alot for work, but it seems the older I get the less I like to drive/ride. But your right, being with my wife and going to be with friends makes it easier. It probably wouldn't feel so bad but just a few days ago we drove to 5 hours to North Louisiana to watch our youngest daughter graduate and walk across the stage, our last of 3 girls to graduate from college, she is going to be a teacher for special ed kids. Now we have to go back the same route but 2 hours further, I'm not complaining but I do love to be home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
