Pro tip: the $12 tire gauge a guy at a truck stop in Amarillo handed me saved my transmission
He walked over while I was checking my rears, said mine read 8 pounds low on a tire that looked fine, and handed me his old brass stick from behind the counter. What is the one cheap tool you trust more than the fancy one in your box?
Wait, a tire reading 8 pounds low looked totally fine to you? That's wild, I would've driven off thinking everything was good and cooked my whole setup too.
