Learned a lesson today, changed out rear wheel spacers and made sure everything was good and tight on all the rims. Well, I was driving it down the highway today with my boy trying to figure out my overheating problem ( which is still a problem ) and I noticed a vibration at about 50 mph, up to 65 it went away and below 50 it went away. Thought I would just cripple it home the last couple miles and turned on our gravel road and about 3/4 of a mile down going about 20 , the rear drivers wheel decided to leave us and we came to a quick stop. I swear everything was tight but the evidence says otherwise, always double check things. I hate to think how it would have ended up going 65 down the highway and letting go.Seth

Wow! That's pretty scary!! Any damage to the fender? Did you figure out why it came loose? I've run spacers on various vehicles for years with no issues. Well, if it had to happen, I'm glad it was at 20mph and not 65!!

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
