Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / October 2005Lug nut torque spec on my 03 Ranger
I just looked at the manual and it says to torque the lug nuts to 100 ft/lbs. It does not make a distinction between the steel wheels or the alum. wheels that are on my vechicle. Is it the same for both? Also what is the tolerance? I have an old torque wrench, but have no idea how accurate it is. Thanks again.

Is the Husky, 50-250 ft/lb, at Home Depot a good way to go? SignaturePaul O. oplholik@gmail.com >>> I just looked at the manual and it says to torque the lug nuts to 100 >>> ft/lbs.

Is the Husky, 50-250 ft/lb, at Home Depot a good way to go? Unfortunately, I can't help you there. Have never used a Husky. All my new tools are either Craftsman or Snap-on. Both of which I have never had problems with and you can order on-line. > Ok, thanks. Think I will get a new one to start with. I can calibrate it > myself at work.

Works for me every now and then if I have to pull a wheel off my F350. I get free 'rotation" ( and I make sure THEY use their torque wrench) so rarely need to do my own >>> For torquing your wheels (occasional use) theres the 0-150 lb/ft >>> "clicking" type at Harbor Freight Tools for < $ 20.00 [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >I have to write up for being significantly out of tolerance.
