What's that old joke about ricers??? "My lugnuts have more torque than your whole engine!!!".

I guess that's about right.

Sorry, not really adding anything here, but the thread title made me think of it.

My '99 is a LATE '99 so, I will go with the 150--I didn't realize that lug nut torque was in the owners manual. Thanks!

Early trucks had a lower spec listed......it wasn't enough so Ford then sent out stickers and letters to the owners to change the torque spec to 150-165ft/lbs.

I remember getting it in the mail a few years ago.

When i worked at the tire shop 150 foot lbs was the correct torque.

ALWAYS retorque your wheels after 100ish miles on ANY vehicle you take a tire off of. I have seen wheels come off of all sorts of vehicles that didnt get a retorque done.
