Does any one know the proper torque specs for the lug nuts on a 93 Dually. I just want to see the responses . We will see who gets it right first. The winner gets the assurance that their wheel won't fall off.

Hint, look at the lug wrench tools that came with the truck (if they are still there )

 

the tools it came with are huge, so im gonna guess 250 ft lbs.

 

135 ft/lbs for 2500

and 145 ft/lbs for 3500's

 

I am gonna guess 300 ft-lbs torque for the DRW truck.

 

I can't rember, I just jump on the ratchet till they don't move very much. Think the manual says 250, people look at me funnie when I tell them how much it says.

 

And the right answer is

325 ft. lbs

 

otherwise known as, Gorilla tight?

 

325 ft/# with no vibration, 350 ft/# if there is a vibration problem. As per the FSM. That is for the Flanged nuts. Any way you look at it that is a lot of load on a 5/8 fine thread nut.

 

Yep - and the guy I took my truck to to get the tires balanced dropped his jaw when I told him 350 ft/lbs. Showed him the owners manual, and yes it is gorilla tight.
