Got the tires rotated- first time in Discount post Covid - I assumed I could get water and coffee in the waiting area- nope.

Waited in my truck, where I had not brought my insulated water bottle- ooops.

I knew they needed done, but did not realize it had been 2 years and 11K.

:eek:

Took the hubcaps off (ralley wheels) before I went as those seemed to give Discount issues last time.

Plus, it let's me claim to have assisted :)and allows me to use blue Loctite on the screws so hubcaps don't get lost on the road.

:waytogo:

Good call on the hub caps. Do yourself a favor and verify the wheel torque. I trust no one with wheel installation on any of my vehicle

Probably a smart move - perhaps tomorrow.

Engine temp or outside temp?

You really want to look at exhaust temp if you want to know what's going on.

Wouldn't happen to have a pyrometer would you? ;)
