1996 Dodge RAM 2500 Torque
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specification
Lug Nut Torque
120-150
ft-lbs
The 1996 Dodge RAM 2500 lug nut torque specification is 120-150 ft-lbs. This is the manufacturer-recommended torque value for all wheel lug nuts on the Dodge RAM 2500.
Always use a calibrated click-type torque wrench and tighten lug nuts in a star (criss-cross) pattern. After mounting new wheels, tires, or rotors, re-torque after 50–100 miles of driving to account for settling. Over-torquing causes warped brake rotors and stretched studs; under-torquing risks wheel separation.
