Well.... We called the business and talked to the owner of the place in Bismarck ND where we had the work done in Aug 2012... we had the 19.5 Vision wheels/tires put on the rear and... (my receipt says)" new front shocks, Pads, Seals, Rotors, bearings, (Front and rear)".
I talked to him... sent him an email with the pictures and since the funeral was today, I asked that he wait until I call him. I did. I called him at 4pm and left a message that he could call me back now. I did not get a phone call back yet. If he had, I would have asked him how tight to torque those bolts.
But we've got an appt to have a safety inspection tomorrow morning at a local Ford dealer (where we bought the bolt we put on ourselves). We only have to drive this truck 8 miles tomorrow. I think it's safe to do that. They will check and tighten everything.
The score on the aluminum wheel is not very deep. Not much more than a thumb nail deep. Very Very lucky on that. God is Good. But we'll get an opinion on that, too. I've called Vision here at the Chicago Division and no one (and I mean no one) has a 19.5 machined aluminum wheel in stock.There's a 90 to 120 day wait for them. If I had to have one... I'd have to go with another brand.
I'm not going to wait here for 120 days to finish this trip. I can tell you that. I'd be happy with another truck and I don't think hubby would object.
