Took the van back to wal-mart After you get them rotated & balanced do you take it easy for the 1st day or do you jump on it & spin them....romping on it will cause it to move the tire on the rim and that will put them out of balance

I got most of my components from Arizona Wind and Sun, 5 years ago. http://www.solar-electric.com/sobomp25ampc.htmlThere are many other options, many with better pricing. A few months ago I added a thin film 68 watt Unisolar panel(epvl-68) that I bought from Amazon. Blue Sky 2512i controller( wish I bought the ix model) Blue Sky IPN pro remote ( battery monitor and voltage adjuster) Deltec 500 amp shunt. Kyocera 130 TM panel. I bought the 8 awg cabling from panel to controller from http://genuinedealz.com/The Kyocera has a junction box. The unisolar uses Mc3 cables. I bought a 50 foot 10 awg MC3 extension cord, from Amazon. To power a small 12v compressor fridge indefinitely, 60 watts in a sunny environment will do it. Using an inverter on a residential fridge, make that 80 or more watts.

Oh no I take it very easy on the van, I'm starting to think that maybe my drums are out of balance. I do need some suspension work however most of the vibrations seem to come from the rear end and mostly the driver side more so then the passenger.
I certainly refrain from trying to spin the tires because I don't want to spin the outer race of the overrunning clutch in the transmission.

3 days ago I had 150 dollars and now I have maybe 15 dollars left due to vehicle operating cost (gas sucking bastard), and repairs I have had to done recently. Responsibility sucks....Or as Dennis Leary says, life sucks get a fu@king helmet.

Not so much responsibility, but how over inflated everything is and how underpaying jobs are, I mean I make around 60 bucks an hour but that's only when I am called in, which rarely happens.
But it's a part of life.
