Jam nut size for e450 simulators?

[slamac56]

I have a e450 chassis under a 3010 sunseeker. can anyone tell me the size of the Jam nut to hold down the rear simulators on the lug nut extenders? Or somewhere I can buy them?

If you strike out....

Call this guy Arlin 1 800 420 5872. He is dist for Pacific Dualies. That is his cell number. He's a work-a-holic and at that number most of time. If he doesn't now he'll direct you to right person. Knowing what type you have would be big help.

I'm looking at a new set next to my desk as I type this post. Going to put them on when I finish with front end brakes. I also remember he said extra were $8.00 each.

Looked over all my paperwork and nothing size specific only model numbers on my directions.

I was wondering if I should put a little mid strength lock tite on, you answered that question for me. Or did you lose bolt around house or misplace it?

(I'm going from the Dicor snap on type to pacific dualies (bolt on type) because snap type decided to "snap" off on freeway. Those were Dicor "fastliner" that left me going 60 mph.

Another place is http://www.autoamenity.com/Wheel-Simulators/Ford-Dual-Wheel-Simulator.htm they are really order takers and refer you to Phoenix Wheel for questions anything other than what is your credit card number type thing. But they do have some info on there site that might help with size.

Correct, this is not a lug nut, it is to hold the simulator on a lug nut extender, the simulator is jammed between the lug nut extender and this jam nut. It measures roughly 1" wrench size and the thread opening is .789 of an inch, measuring with my harbor freight calipers. Fastenal told me it was an automotive thread pitch but so far I have not found an auto parts store to help.

That's a standard lug nut. What the OP is looking for is the nut that holds the wheel covers on.

I'm gonna go with 9/16" diameter and 18 treads per inch, per this lookup at O'Reilly:

Dorman® AutoGrade™ - Wheel Lug Nut

Part Number: 611-127

Line: DOR
1 year limited warranty
• UPC: 19495111276
•Wheel Nut
Multiple Applications
•Black Oxide - Steel
- Thread Size: 9/16-18

•Flanged Nut - Black Oxide
- Steel
- Thread Size: 9/16-18


•Wheel Nut 9/16-18 Flanged Flat Face - 7/8 In. Hex, 1-1/16 In. Length
•Sold Individually
•Hex Size: 7/8 Inch
•Thread Size: 9/16-18 Inch
•Type: Flanged
•Seat Style: Flange
•Style: Flanged
•Thread Handing: Right Hand Thread

and Picture:



The 7/8" hex size is one of the four offered on my NAPA-brand cross-rim lug wrench. But not common enough for Harbor Fright to sell in their individual $4 English or Metric (23-mm) deep impact sockets. I was able to order a single one from Amazon, but $8.

The Jam Nuts for Dicor, as MOD noted above, would therefore be 9/16-18. THAT nut is 1-1/8, by the way. But if you have an extra piece in there, like your OP seems to say, we'd need more info to try to help with that.
