Wheel Mounting
and

initial period and retighten.
Wheel Cap Nut Torque
WARNING!
Never use oil or grease on studs or
nuts; improper torque readings will
result, which could cause improper
wheel clamping and could lead to a
wheel failure resulting in an accident.
Failure to comply may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
Wheel Cap
Nut Torque
At the
rst scheduled lube interval,
have all wheel cap nuts torqued to
their specied
value listed in Wheel
Cap Nut
Torque on page 5-141. After
that, check
wheel cap nuts at least
once a week. Contact an authorized
dealer for information on the proper
installation procedure for the wheels
on your truck. This is a job you may
not be able to do yourself. You need
the right torquing equipment to do it.
