I have a 99 f250 with the aluminum wheels. I just bought this truck and don't know how much torque to use on the lugnuts. Does anybody know the correct ft/lb?

 

If it's a Super Duty diesel, 148 (ftlbs)

If it's NOT a SD and has a 5.4, it's 83-112 (ftlbs)

 

Yeah, it's a Diesel super-duty. 148 ftlbs is alot

 

It doesn't hurt to have a 2+ foot torque wrench. Wheels are the main reason I use it.

 

I think the number was revised to 160 ft/lbs. I have no problem hitting that number with my regular torque wrench.

 

I just got finished rotating the tires. That was fun without a lift! :O

Anyways, whoever put the tires on didn't torque the lugs very tight. This was at a Ford dealership earlier this year, also.

All it took was barely a budge to unlock the lugs. I was very surprised, and concerned. I've been hauling for about 5 thousand miles with it like this. They were nowhere near 160 ft/lbs. I doubt even 75 or 80
