What is the proper factory torque spec for the wheel lug nuts on 2nd gen 24V trucks? I have a nail in the right rear tire and instead of having the tire shop slam the lugnuts with an impact, I want them to torque it to the correct factory spec...

thanks

It says in your owners manual, I believe its 110 pounds or so.

All the tire shops I use always torque the wheels to the proper spec's. If your shop doesn't.....I'd run away....run away really fast. Find a shop that does it correctlly. Discount Tire's / American Tire Co. (same outfit) I find are really good places to go. Good prices and quality workmanship. That bein said, I just started using a local family shop.

Anyways, 9/16" lugs should be about 120 lbs. with alloy wheels. Steel, I believe, is at 135 lbs.

My truck didn't come with an owners manual ...I have the premium alloy wheels on my '01.

So is it 110 ft-lbs or 120 ft-lbs?

I plan on using Discount Tire or NTB...maybe they do know but I am just being cautious and want them to write it on the ticket; a lot of times the guys doing the work can vary in how much they care about these details.

I never use a torque wrench on my lugnuts...

I've always gone with 120 lbs. Weld Wheels and now my Raceline Wheels recomend 120 lbs. for 9/16" lugs.

Per Factory Service Manual, 2001:

5 stud wheel 95 ft-lbs
8 stud wheel 135 ft-lbs
8 stud dual wheel 145 ft-lbs
