2 weeks ago, I had my local Ford dealer replace a tire that had a screw in the sidewall.

We leave home (Florida) drive to southern Tennessee, and I gotta p. I pull into the rest stop, and as I'm slowing down, I hear the 'tinkle, tinkle' of something making noise as I slow down.

I go p....then walk around the rv and spy the wheel liner hanging loose. 3 lug nuts are loose. Tried to tighten, and all 3 lugs spin. Sheared. Dang.

Called Ford roadside assistance. Very helpful....except no one knows how to tow a Transit rear wheels up.

Found one guy. Will find out tomorrow if he's the right guy. Meanwhile, many calls to Ford...this is not an easy fix. And they don't work weekends.

So....trip home for Turkey day delayed.

Word to the wise.....make sure your tire and wheel guy doesn't over torque the lug nuts. If I hadn't needed to p, we'd be on the news.
