What is the proper lug nut torque for 1992 Chevy silverado 2500?

The proper lug nut torque for a 1992 Chevy Silverado 2500 depends on the wheel size and whether the wheels are steel or aluminum. There's no single answer. You MUST consult your owner's manual. This is the only reliable source for the correct specification for your specific truck.

Failing to find the owner's manual, you can try these options, but they are less reliable:

* A reputable online parts store: Websites like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA Auto Parts often have online catalogs. Entering your vehicle's details might provide the torque specification. However, verify this information with another source if possible.

* A local mechanic or tire shop: They will likely have access to torque specifications for various vehicles.

Improper lug nut torque is dangerous. Over-tightening can strip the threads or break the studs, while under-tightening can lead to wheel detachment while driving. Always use a torque wrench to ensure accurate tightening.
