1997 GMC K 3500 Drw Torque
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specification
Lug Nut Torque
140
ft-lbs
The 1997 GMC K 3500 Drw lug nut torque specification is 140 ft-lbs. This is the manufacturer-recommended torque value for all wheel lug nuts on the GMC K 3500 Drw.
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.
