I belive it's 80 to 100 ft lbs.

I think the dealer does the same thing but uses 150! Way way too tight!

Yup, 150 is waaayyyy too tight. Try taking that wheel off when have a flat on the side of the highway or some lonely abandoned back road. ??

agreed !!

This applies to all vehicles ! :nerd:

Too much torque over specs on them lug nuts can also warp the rotor...added the chance of not following proper pattern ...things going to drive like crap !!

Plus the cost of maintenance down the road...etc. :|

I will bet the dealer uses an impact gun, set on "no one knows" :wink:

I do have to add that the dealer that I worked at , the last thing the tech did if wheels came off was to walk around car and use a torque wrench to make sure the wheels were tight and not to leave one loose. There isn't a dealer out there that has not had a wheel fall off on either test ride or when a customer took their car home. Very embarrassing for that service manager get the call from the customer that he was on the side of the road with the wheel that fell off. Luckly the customer is not hurt or caused major damage to the vehicle or caused a major accident. They want them tight. Honda even supplies preset torque wrenches for the lower-level techs, so there's no question of whether the wheel is tightned to the right specs.
And yes over tight lugs can cause all kinds of damage and drivability problems.

Your owners manual is a digital format.... There was a thread not too long ago with links for it... or it is on the CD that came with your truck. Your paper mini user manual is the one in the glovebox.

thank you, damn it why am I so slow...

A note on the topic... recently had my tires rotated at the stealer. Drove it for a month, and it was nagging in my head that I had no idea what they torqued them to. So I went out and re-torqued them myself. Found the break away torque to be anywhere from 80-120 ft-lbs, even on one wheel. Totally pathetic.

Don't worry, it's not that you are slow, just that the amount of information and data is expanding exponentially so the landscape to transverse is ever growing! Good luck!
