Lug nut specs?

[Hot Runr Guy]

You're right. I'm switching from McGard locks to Gorilla locks.

Which Gorilla locks are you looking at? Their # 96641DX is the closest length match to McGard # 64073, and has the large diameter flange.

That does look like the best, not cheap though.

For some odd reason, at lower cost on Amazon is the Gorilla 61641, which uses an outer rotating sleeve design. If I get the 61641, it will get packed with road dirt/salt in no time.

There is the Gorilla 71641N which is cheaper, seems like it would work well.

... or the cheaper yet Gorilla 61641N

If the manual says it's 140 ft.lbs, then it's 140 ft.lbs......

Back in the day (1980's) as I recall the torque on F150 wheel lugs was 90-110 lb-ft. 150 lb-ft does seem a bit high. Those are 12mm studs, slightly less than 1/2". AI tells me my original spec was about right. 1/2" Grade 8 bolts are 90 lb-ft lubed and 120 lb-ft dry. That 150 lb-ft seems a bit high to me.

They're 14mm, not 12mm
