We had been having problems with the wheels on our truck coming loose. It all began when we got new tires put on, a year to a year and a half ago, and progressively got worse each time we had our wheels balanced and rotated, which was always when we were back in Missouri…and always at the same garage. We finally realized that connection and went in talk to the automotive manager where we bought the tires. The mechanics thoroughly checked out all of the wheels and then the manager called their insurance company, who sent an automotive engineer out to inspect it, too. It was determined that the holes in all of the wheels were wallowed out and the studs were damaged in one of the rear wheels, which was most likely because the wheels hadn't been tightened enough when they were put on. After a long week of wondering if we would be saddled with the expense of replacing the wheels ourselves, we received a check from their insurance company! Ron found 'almost new' wheels on the internet for a really good price. We are SO relieved to have the problem resolved, and even happier to have their insurance company pay for it! It’s amazing how much smoother the truck rides now! As soon as Ron takes care of the routine maintenance, the truck will be ready to get back on the road when we leave in a few weeks!
