Default Drive it until the wheels fall off

Just a reminder... something always over looked is to check your lug nuts periodically, had an issue last weekend. driving around 55 started feeling vibration thought it was driveshaft since i only have 300 miles on all new truck im starting to learn about the truck, every one of mine drive different. when i got to corner of my street sounded like brakes were locking up, but limped home. got up in the air and drivers side rear all 5 were super loose causing a wobble scared the hell out of me! and then checked all 4 and all rims were loose! i know i tighten them good when putting truck together, What happened was the lug nut was seated to far into the hole of the rim causing the lug nut to damn near go all the way thru lug nuts were too small then wallowing out hole causing the lug nut to loosen. i bought these new lug nut that have a larger face to tighten So... Check those lug nuts!!! Rant over... Ken
