Dudes-
This is the first issue I've seen on GMCnet that did not warrant
generous and creative response.
Is it just too far out or too great of a challenge?

A question for all readers is....Since we can purchase a infra-red thermometer for a few bucks, so why can't KenH, KenB, SFerguson, LHarrison or PowerJohn just rig up six with some low voltage wire, six lights and a buzzer and for about $ 100?

I was tring to avoid a rest stop so close to home, but pulled over with the alert and went to the head, telling my wife to check out the tire outside. Midway through my business she came screaming back that it was on fire. A quick shot of the fire extinguisher put it out, and later diagnosis was a bad bearing that was just about to traumaticly let go.
