OEM lug wrench worthless on dually 03

I found out the hard way that the factory supplied lug wrench does not have enough reach to get the rear lug nuts off. Now I have a 4 way wrench . Be warned. David

It would be with your jack kit under the passenger front seat. It's about 8"-10" long. Looks like a big extension. Kinda hard to miss. Maybe your's is missing. Do you have the rest of the jack kit.

I used the jack once and now it won't crank back down all the way. I am out of warranty and dc wants like $200. for this piece of crap. I will never use it again since I baught a bottle jack but I still want to replace it... Any ideas??

Also I have the extention too!

.....and I also carry an aluminum floor jack. Biggest pain I'll have is lowering the spare down from under the truck.
