Snap-on saves the day

Postby spencerdiesel » Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:49 pm

Topped off the tank, then on my merry way without a care in the world. Intermittent hiss starts up from somewhere, and changed pace with my speed so I pulled to the median (couldn't pull right for traffic).

Soon as I got the chance, turned right into a convenient dirt road and knew what was up. Tire had a softball size hole in the side, I have no clue how it oozed air instead of a pow. And it was the left front.........at 50 :shock:

So like a tard, I own a 4 way that does NOT fit my lug nuts :| I just happened to possess a flex head 3/8 snap on........and let me say she looked a bit curved while backing off 120 ft lbs.

Wonder what it'd take to snap it

I had a tire come apart on me at 70. Truck started shaking violently so I started slowing down and POW she blew out at about 55.

Left front too.


Sadly I forgot my spare at home and had to get towed.

It was an F-150 piece. It did not fit well since the F-150 had much more of a curve to the bumper.
