Thread: It happens to most of us

I have a temp gun, in my truck even. Don't use it often but when I head out I almost always stop for gas about 3 miles down the road. When I get there I walk around and feel my bearing buddies to see if they are warmer than usual. If not there when I get to the ramp, which is about 9 miles away.

Dang bud, I’m glad you made it home before it totally failed. Hate doing side of the road emergency repairs

Same here, when ever I stop for gas or to eat I head back to the wheels to see if they feel hot. Mine are always cool to the touch so if there any heat I know I have a problem.

Bad deal, but at least you got it home, hopefully your axle is ok. Had mine come off on the ramp a couple years ago, axle was toast, boat and trailer came home on a role back that day.

I checked the axel, no burs or cuts, greased it up good and every thing went on smooth except the flat washer, I had to reem it out just a tad. cleaned it and greased it and it fit nice. so again check em often, funny the right side was bad and the left side was good.

Glad it all went ok!
