Default Have you ever used and IR gun to check temps

Hi Guys

Was wondering if any of you have used and IR gun to check the drive train temperature on a Ferret?

On my CMPs I make it a practice to check the drive train of trucks after any drive of length. Using a check sheet I record the different points, transmission, transfer case, brake drums, wheel bearings, etc. If anything is out of line it jumps out pretty quick. The one time I didn't check a +10 F (of norm) wheel bearing temp that was out of line the next time I drove the truck nearly lost a wheel the axle nut keeper had failed.

Would think with a complex drive train like a Ferret you would get a good hold on what normal temps should be.

Cheers Phil
