A fellow gmc owner in Germany asked about the wheelnut torque The manual states 250 ft/pnd

It seems like a lot of torque What do you use?

As much strength that I can apply with a bar about 14" long and I bet that would not be 250 ft/lbs.
I figure there are 8 nuts so that should hold the wheel sufficiently and remember that you may have to undo the nuts on the side of the road and you will not have a rattle gun or a 6ft length of pipe which is what I would need to get 250 ft/lbs.

250 is correct because of the large flat washer built as part of the nut. This washer requires additional torque to overcome the additional friction of the washer. That said, a lot of people use a lower setting. I never did when I had steel wheels.

G'day,

Back on September 20, 2012 in Forum Message #185150 I noted; "The manual is incorrect and was revised to one hundred and fifty foot
pounds (150)."

Rick Denny commented "Which is a reasonable number when you use anti-sieze lubricant, which you should."

Unfortunately I NOW have a problem with that statement because I wanted to provide a source for my statement and I can't seem to
find out WHERE I got 150 foot pounds from. I checked MM X-7625, MM X-7725 and the Wheel and Tire Service Bulletins and found NADA!

Anybody got any ideas where I might have found that info!

Regards,
Rob M.

G'day,

I'm going to answer my own question! I did some more digging and found this:

Wheel lug nut torque
- Use torque wrench @ 130-150 fi-lbs in sequence
- Not maint. Manual value (250 ft-lbs): studs will stretch & break
- Radial wheels only w/radial tires

Which was in a document entitled:

WHAT EVERY GMC OWNER SHOULD KNOW by Dwayne Simmons and can be found here:

http://gmcws.org/Tech/dsimmons/required_gmc_knowledge/required_gmc_info.html

That's good enough for me!

Isn't that the torque for the OEM, hub-centered, steel wheels?

I think the going recommendation for alloy wheels is 150 ft/lb.

Are we talking about axle nuts? or wheel lug nuts?

The axle nut has a range of about 130/140-240 ft lbs.

I think the procedure for the axle nut is to tighten to
the 130/140 ft. lbs. After that torque is achieved, the
castellated nut is tightened further to align the cotter
pin with the hole in the axle.

This is my opinion and I am open to further suggestions.

Gene,

I got an OFF NET comment from a long time GMC owner who is technically savvy expressing concern that 150 ft lb might be too low and
that he felt 185 ft lb would be better.

I decided that it might be a good idea to reach a consensus so I sent in the Lug nut / Wheel nut Torque email requesting comments.

Rob M.

I have never, never heard of a lug nut coming off

but, this new bunch, have to rehash it again

Gene,

Please "say" the same thing over on the Lug nut / Wheel nut Torque email. When Yanks want to search for the info 5 will get you 10
they'll call them lug nuts! ;-)

Appie, no criticism meant!

There will always be conflicting opinions on lug nut/stud torque values. A
9/16" grade 8 wheel stud is definitely over torqued at 250 foot pounds
regardless of what kind of nut is used. With eight such studs securing a
steel wheel the combined clamping force is enormous. Any fastener stretched
beyond it's point of maximum elasticity is being set up to fail at some
point. There are a number of errors in manuals printed by GM and I believe
that this is one of them that slipped by the technical proofreaders whose
job it is to catch these errors. Just what I think. Your opinion may vary.

Appie,

In the USA "wheel nuts" are commonly called "lug nuts."

Referring to them as "wheel nuts" confused people and they responded with comments about the axle / spindle nuts.

I started another message entitled Lug nut / Wheel nut Torque and have suggested people respond to that message for two reasons; (A)
to eliminate the confusion and (B) when someone searched the Forum with the word lug nut or wheel nut they could find a discussion
about them.

Regards,
