I've never had a problem with a Ram or a GM but the SD lug nuts have a locking devise in them that can be a major PITA. The problem with them is that there is enough play in the nut and locking washer that you loose all the torque the impact has to remove it. On a dually, you almost have to use a long anvil impact to be able to get to the lug nuts. If you use an extension you will loose torque . My 1/2" drive impact has 1200 ftlb of torque and there are times I have to break out the 5' strong arm to break some of our SD lug nuts loose.
