So what would YOU suggest; continue mindlessly down the highway?
Pretty much, yes.
A bearing can be a little bit tighter than all the rest or a caliper dragging a little bit more......and not ever cause a significant problem.
Of course, a significant change from the normal pattern probably does mean that something is amiss but if it really IS it probably will show up in other ways too.......like the brakes pulling to one side or smelling something hot when you stop at a light.
I am in no way saying what you are doing is wrong, just that it is overkill.
I walk around my rig at every stop. My temperature gauge is the palm of my hand.
So you wait till there is at least two symptoms before looking for the cause? Or is it three? Not sure if I'm following your logic there. As you say, what I am looking for is something out of the normal pattern. And if I find THAT, I am going to look for the cause, even BEFORE it manifests itself into other symptoms...that "next" symptom could be a blowout at speed...sorry, not gonna go there.
The temp gun is no different than your palm, just easier, more accurate, and keeps my hands clean. So if the temp gun is overkill, then I would suggest that your hand is the opposite; much less accurate and therefore a waste of time. So why bother with the hand?
