Infrared Thermometer, laser targeting
FWIW,
I'd suggest if you do not already have one, you might put this on your wish list. Comes in handy for any "situation". We stop every 2-3 hours for the dogs, I just ping the tires, tranny, radiator, engine block, differential,etc., takes 5 minutes and can give you a heads up to potential issues. The laser makes pointing easy as you want to get the actual outside shoulder of the tire(the hottest point).
You can find many uses at home as well as in the bus, checking ac and heat temps, skin temp (bus) etc........Big Grin

PS any model or vendor will do, this URL is just an example. I actually have this one and it's 7 years old, works great!

Going to get one for Dee as a late V-Day present. I know he has wanted one, and this way I can't screw up.
Well let's pretend not!

I can already see him aiming at me. D

Now THATS's funny! All kidding aside, aim it anywhere BUT the eyes, I know it's a low powered laser, very safe, but my old engineering training going back to the late 60's always add this caution, when the first commercial ones were real strong! Call me "cautiously retentive" for a "g" forum rating! Idea hahahahahha

FWIW I figured I'd bump this thread as they are running a sale 6/7-9 where the IR thermometer is 24.99 for those 3 days only, an additional 10 dollar savings over the current online price of 35.99, list 59.99 if you want one!Big Grin
