What is the lug nut torque for a 2003 Chevy 2500?

The lug nut torque specification for a 2003 Chevy 2500HD depends on the wheel size and whether it has aluminum or steel wheels. There isn't a single number. You must consult your owner's manual. This is the most reliable source for this information.

Failing that, you can try these options, but they are less reliable:

* Look for a sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: Sometimes the recommended torque is listed on a sticker.

* Check a reputable online parts store: Search for your specific year, make, and model on a site like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa Auto Parts. They often have specifications listed in their parts diagrams. However, confirm it with your manual if possible.

Using the wrong torque can be dangerous. Over-tightening can strip the threads or damage the wheel studs. Under-tightening can cause the wheel to come loose while driving. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
