Flanged Lug Nut Torque

[TJJEEPER]

Owner manual states 130 to 145 Ft Lbs of torque for the lug nuts. The recall on my truck said this was in error and was causing wheel stud stretch. On my truck one did shear off. Took it in for the recall and they replaced the sheared stud and inspected the remaining 31 studs (I assume). Problem is, I was not given any information as to what the torque values should be after the recall. Any search turns up the old values.

What should the torque spec be for my signature truck?

TIA,
Greg

Well, I tried to post a screenshot of the recall but it won't let me.

It says: NOTE: Do Not Exceed 175 N·m (129ft. lbs.) of torque on the lug nut.

Thank you! I looked up the recall and found the same info. I didn't think to search for Ram Lug nut recall... oops

Of course the dealer didn't do the owner's manual update.

130#' is close enough. Kinda like the 6 point 1-1/8" socket works "just fine" for the fuel filter cap.

I've wondered how they would update my USB drive service manual? I know that they're supposed to staple or place a sticker over the spec in O/M.
