These dual rear wheels should be tightened as follows:

1. Tighten the wheel nuts in the numbered sequence to a
snug fit.

2. Retighten the wheel nuts in the same sequence to the
torques listed in the table. Go through the sequence a

second time to verify that specific torque has been
achieved. Retighten to specifications at 100 miles
(160 km) and after 500 miles (800 km).

It is recommended that wheel stud nuts be kept torqued
to specifications at all times. Torque wheel stud nuts to
specifications at each lubrication interval.

To Stow The Flat Or Spare

NOTE:

Vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels can-

not be stored under the vehicle because the wheel
retainer will not fit through the wheel pilot hole. Secure
the flat tire in the bed of the truck. Have the flat tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
