Default 1500 Wheel Torque?

Just a quick sanity check.

2018 1500

140ft-lbs for the lug nuts?

It *sounds* high but that's actually the "from the manual" figure for GMT800's anyway, which use a 14mm wheel stud just like essentially all GM fullsize trucks since the 1988 redesign. That's pretty close to the "torque by size" general spec for a class 10.9 fastener, where an 8.8 would be closer to 100-110 which honestly is what I'm used to using on a 14mm wheel stud. My Chrysler uses 14mm wheel studs too and I think they revised the factory spec a while back from 110 to 120.
