I rotated my tires and checked the brakes while I was at it. At 40,000 I still have pad left at all 4 corners. But one tire looked weird so I put the gauge up to it--15 lbs. I can't remember the last time I checked so it's been a while. That's why I find the Ford thing a bit hokey (maybe it's the driver/vehicle not the tire).

Anyway, one rim was stuck to the rotor. I had another car where even a sledge hammer to the rim would not separate the alloy from the rotor. So I sprayed some lubricant on the back of the rim.

I didn't think I could find it, but my eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas Day--FREE AIR!!! In the big city no doubt. Pumped that bad-boy up to about 36. When they're cold I like 33/30 psi.

 

Yeah, I was just talking about this the other day with one of my friends. With regular maint. I bet it would have been a lot longer until they found this 'recal'.

Heh, I found free air @ one Chevron here in LA, then another one it was $.25 for 1 min or so. I wonder what the difference in the two stations were?
