Tires and Wheels Wheel Mounting and Fastening After the vehicle travels about 50 to 100 miles (80 to 160 km), wheel mountings “seat in” and will lose some initial torque. 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 205 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 injury accident. Wheel Bearing Adjustment Preventive Maintenance 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 153. The person best equipped to do this is your Authorized Service Center's mechanic. 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 207. 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 205. 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 and/or serious personal injury or damage to the vehicle. – 204 – Y53-6008A Medium Duty (R05/09)

Wheel Mounting and Fastening<br />
After the vehicle travels about 50 to 100 miles (80 to 160 km),<br />
wheel mountings “seat in” and will lose some initial torque.<br />
Check hub/wheel mountings after this initial period and<br />
retighten.<br />
Wheel Cap Nut Torque<br />
At the first scheduled lube interval, have all wheel cap nuts<br />
torqued to their specified value. See Table 7, “Wheel Cap<br />
Nut Torque,” Page 205 After that, check wheel cap nuts at<br />
least once a week. Contact an Authorized Service Center for<br />
information on the proper installation procedure for the<br />
wheels on your truck. This is a job you may not be able to do<br />
yourself if you do not have the right equipment.<br />
WARNING! Never use oil or grease on studs or<br />
nuts; improper torque readings will result, which<br />
could cause improper wheel clamping and could<br />
lead to a wheel failure resulting in an injury accident.<br />
Wheel Bearing Adjustment<br />
Preventive Maintenance<br />
For safe, reliable operation and adequate service life, your<br />
wheel bearings must be checked and adjusted properly at<br />
the recommended intervals. See Table 2, “Maintenance<br />
Schedule,” Page 113, and Table 2, “Maintenance Schedule,”<br />
Page 153. The person best equipped to do this is your<br />
Authorized Service Center's mechanic.<br />
Proper Torque and Sequence<br />
Proper wheel torque can best be obtained on level ground.<br />
Install lug nuts and finger-tighten in the numerical sequence<br />
as shown below, see “Crisscross Tightening Sequence” on<br />
page 207. This procedure will ensure that the wheel is drawn<br />
evenly against the hub. Torque each nut to the torque value<br />
listed in Table 7 on page 205.<br />
WARNING! Tighten wheel cap nuts properly. If<br />
they are not tightened properly, wheel nuts<br />
could eventually cause the wheel to become<br />
loose, to fail, and/or to come off while the vehicle<br />
is moving, possibly causing loss of control<br />
and/or serious personal injury or damage to the<br />
vehicle.<br />
