Check hub/wheel mountings after this initial period and retighten. Wheel Cap Nut Torque At the first scheduled lube interval, have all wheel cap nuts torqued to their specified value. See Table 7, “Wheel Cap Nut Torque,” Page 210 After that, check wheel cap nuts at least once a week. Contact an Authorized Service Center for information on the proper installation procedure for the wheels on your truck. This is a job you may not be able to do yourself if you do not have the right equipment. WARNING! Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts; improper torque readings will result, which could cause improper wheel clamping and could lead to a wheel failure resulting in an accident causing death or personal injury. Wheel Bearing Adjustment For safe, reliable operation and adequate service life, your wheel bearings must be checked and adjusted properly at the recommended intervals. See Table 2, “Maintenance Schedule,” Page 113, and Table 2, “Maintenance Schedule,” Page 157. The person best equipped to do this is your Authorized Service Center's mechanic. – 208 – Y53-6027 Medium Duty (R05/09)
Preventive Maintenance Proper Torque and Sequence Proper wheel torque can best be obtained on level ground. Install lug nuts and finger-tighten in the numerical sequence as shown below, see “Crisscross Tightening Sequence” on page 212. This procedure will ensure that the wheel is drawn evenly against the hub. Torque each nut to the torque value listed in Table 7 on page 210. Tires and Wheels WARNING! Tighten wheel cap nuts properly. If they are not tightened properly, wheel nuts could eventually cause the wheel to become loose, to fail, and/or to come off while the vehicle is moving, possibly causing loss of control if the vehicle and death, serious personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
