what to torque bogart wheels to??
Last week I pulled into a local cruise in and had a guy come up to me and hand me 2 lugnuts. He said he seen it come off my truck as I drove by. I parked, walked around the truck and noticed there were 4 lugnuts missing, 1 was loose and 1 was tight. I torqued them at 75 ft. Lbs. and only put about 30 miles on them basically from my house, to the cruise in were I found them already flinging off. I found that f body guys were torquing them to thsoe specs and thought it would also be ideal for a 6 lug truck. So what's the real torque. Obviously mine is wrong and it could of been catastrophic.

If you are going to torque the wheels to or around factory spec, make sure you re-torque the wheels 30-50 miles after. Factory spec is often too loose because the studs have been over torqued in the past. Therefore they are stretched/weekened and aren't going to hold 140 ft. lbs. as well as they should.
