Hey hoo what's with the late edit? I was just looking that up in my O/M as I cannot seem to friggen remember either. I'm pretty sure I was told Dually's are 175. O/M says see dealer =>What a Joke.


Had me tires off Sunday!


I torqued to 150 ,that's all the Torque Wrench on site had in'her.

hey max,
It's still Ft lbs. My torque wrench handles say inch lbs and ft lbs. They are older, though. I thought everybody was trying to change engine power (torque) to lb ft but we still torqed the nuts the old way, ft lbs.
