Lug Nut Torque

[ropinfool2]

Howdy All, What is the recommended torque for the lug nuts? I'm going to rotate my tires tonight. Thanks. John

It depends on which wheels you have. You can get the 2004 model tech info at the link below. There is a chart buried in there somewhere with wheel and lug specs. For my truck with steel wheels, the recommended torque is 155 ft-lbs. For aluminum wheels, it's 135 ft-lbs.



Someone with an 03 maintenance manual should have speficic info on the '03s.

Thanks for the reply. What an awesome site, never been there before. I'm also looking for the correct size socket. 15/16 fits but feels a little loose. I have the chrome/steel wheels. Thanks again. John
