Passed By My Own Tire

I too, am truly thankful no one was hurt. I also agree that the dealership has a slightly used set of lugnuts sitting on a workbench that they can fix you up with!

Reminds me of a time I worked in the oilfield and we were headed out to work in a one ton crew cab with a load of construction material. I was sitting behind the driver and looked out the window noticing that a set of duals with the axle was drag racing us! I said, "Larry, I think that's our wheels passing...." He looked over and saw the same sight, immediately pulling to the shoulder. As we almost completed the stop the back corner of the truck dropped onto the road. Pretty uneventful really. It was just a real good thing we were out in the country and no vehicle was approaching! Pretty sure when the truck was in for service the dealer's tech didn't bend the tab on the locknut, the nut loosed enough to strip the threads and off comes the wheel assembly. You would be surprised to know that the dealership determined that there were other causes.....

Good luck getting everything made right.
