Must have accesory

[johnny]

If you don't have one, the IR thermometer is a must. Here's about as cheap as it gets:

Checking bearings, brake temperatures, engine temperatures, hot water heater temperatures, confirm accuracy of thermometer on any heating device.

It's just a generally all around useful thing. Most important for me is for checking bearings. Just shoot the temp of each bearing. It they are
approximately the same you are good. If one is significantly higher you have a problem.

Checking brakes. If one is significantly higher or lower you have some type of problem that needs to be investigated.

Is you engine really as hot/cold as your gage indicates. Is your thermostat working properly. Just shoot the engine outlet fitting to the radiator.

Did I miss it? Checking tire hub and brake temperatures temperatures when stopped at a rest area. Sunny side of the coach will always read a little
higher.

See it is indeed a must have accessory with functions unrelated to its original intent.

I use it to check individual exhaust header tube temperature differences
when breaking in a camshaft on a new engine. Water outlet temperature also.
Very good "ballpark figure device," not laboratory precise but for the most
part will check trends quite well.
