Lug nut torque specifications

Did a search but no luck, so I post. What are the torque specifications for the lug nuts. Tomorrow I am doing a tire rotation and want to get it right.

Mine says 165 ft lbs... torque in a star pattern and tighten in steps vs all at once.

On my truck (2003 1/2) it is actually written (cast) on the lugnut: 150 ft/lb.

My manual for the 2005 states 150, however the service manual for the 2005 states 165.

Or you could be like the dealers and just use an impact wrench until it puts it on so tight you can't get it off... LOL
