Lug nut size


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was thinking I saw 14mm x 1.50, does that sound right for the 2014's?

I am still using the same Gorilla anti threat lugs nuts that I bought for my 95 Z71 1500 on my 2014 1500 Silverado.

Gorilla locks are great but I hate the fact that one of my two keys fits every single one I run across, and I do suspension, steering and alignments for a living if that gives you any idea how many I see.

Of further note, 22mm is the correct socket size for factory lug nuts, for those who want to keep those nuts in good shape, don't use a 7/8" socket. I'm just glad they ain't like the Dodge trucks where you have to use a 22.5mm once they've been beat up lol.

Since we are talking about nuts what are these torqued at when you put them/wheels back on?

Check your manual but should be 140 ft lbs

Now that is a scary thought... I wouldn't have guessed that.

Thanks for the information.

Does it matter how long the lug nuts are? Thought about getting some black 6 spline to add a lil character to the factory LT wheels n get them a lil longer to stick out just a bit more than factory. Not sure if the lugs are designed to bottom out internally of the lugs though

    • Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.
    • Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.
    • Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.     
    • Thank you. I'll give it a try
