I will try that tonight when I get off work. California Hwys are rarely empty or near empty....unless its at night. I get off work at midnight..I will try it then and make sure the rear drums are okay.

I went to a couple shops and they didn't have the tool/equipment to check the runout..sad to see that. I went to Midas and they would do it for $26.40. I went there, they jacked up the truck and then they told me their rotor runout indicater would break if we used it on my slotted rotors. He said if he was to use it and even if it didn't break that the reading would be incorrect because of the needle-like think would go up and down on the rotor surface when spun because of the slots. He said only a digital reader could be used and those were $3k and they didn't have one and they doubted any shop would have it locally. How am I supposed to check the run-out and makes sure its true? Can I get one that will work...how much $$ can I expect to shell out for one. Thanks for your quick replies Picasso I appreciate your help and time to respond.
