Isn't that in your owner's manual? Check for wheel nut torque in the index.



I don't have a clue as I myself haven't actually had the wheels off of mine yet so I can't give you a numerical answer. I know my '04 Jeep has it listed. So does my stepdad's F250. The F250 is 150ft-lb.

It depends on if you have SRW or a dually and if you have steel or alloy wheels. The answer is in the Body Builders Guide at http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/

This is straight from the service book. So if you have a 3500 dually with the flat washer lug nut it's 155ft/lbs. The first spec is listed in N. m.

Don't forget to put a drop or 2 of oil on each lug nut between the flat washer and lug. Helps keep em free. .

Look on the nut. The torque should be stamped in the face.
