Well today I was going around a corner after picking up my son and his buddy from Soccer practice and the left front wheel and the truck went in different directions. The wheel shot off into the woods and the left front rotor dug into the pavement, I slid about 10-20 feet and finaly came to a rest on the shoulder of the road. I called a towing company that we use through our department. They came out and jacked up the front end, put the wheel back on, put 6 new lug nuts on, and sent me on my way. No major damage, bent and "sanded down" the dust shield a little, bent the fender up some. It is by Gods grace that I was on a back raod with no traffic. My son, his buddy, and my God is either trying to get my attention, or reminding me of how absent minded I can be sometimes. ( I forgot to tighten the lugs nuts after a 33-35" tire swap) The moral of the story.......check and re-check the lug nuts after removing and re-installing the wheel.
