Yeah Sam, it sux alright. Just now I was putting the jack away, I
noticed on the wrench package it said, "always install spare, valve side
down". Too bad it was starting to storm at the track the day this
happened. I was in such a hurry to get the truck back together before
that TX size thunderstorm hit, that I didn't pay attention to anything.
The storm was blowin' in fast and they had shut the track down. I still
had to install my spare, jack, tailgate, and tonneau. To top it all off,
I never even got to make a pass with the truck stripped before they shut
down the track. Now, months later, I find out the consequences of my
haste. This one is on me for sure. Alan S.
