Anyone know what the lug nuts on these trucks should be torqued at?

 

150

150 ft/lbs

 

Alright thanks. Now call me a complete noob here, but I'm looking to invest in some of my own air tools just to have around the house, not for professional or business use. Would an impact wrench rated at 350 ft lbs. work for removing and then re-tightening my lug nuts, say if I wanted to do tire rotations on my own?

 

I change tires at work and we never tighten lugs back with just an impact and socket. You should be able to get a torque stick that will make it so you are only tightening it 150 ft lbs.

 

no no no NO

 

I use arm torque, meaning when I get the lug nice and snug I'll put an extra little power to it to make sure it doesn't back off

 

Got it thanks.

 

My company uses torque sticks to run up lug nuts and then a torque wrench with a properly sized torque stick attached to it as well.

Anytime we run up a lug nut we use a yellow torque stick rated at 60 ft/lbs. Then when we torque all the lug nuts to manufacturer specs we will use a Blue torque stick for vehicles that torque at or under 110 ft/lbs and a gray torque stick for anything above 110 ft/lbs like our trucks.
