Re: Tight nuts
Well my nuts are back to normal. I went out this morning and broke everyone of them loose with my 1/2 drive 16" breaker bar. No extra pipe needed. Why the Dodge dealership couldn't do it is beyond me. I'm 63 and didn't even break a sweat doing it by hand. Now I did spray then with penetrating oil several times since going to the dealer but they are not rusted at all. Once I broke them loose I could remove them the rest of the way by hand. I bet the tech at the dealership is one of these guys who doing tires is below his perceived worth, so he just made up an excuse not to do it. I will be calling the dealership on Monday.357Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tight nuts

I watched him torque the nuts but he did use a air tool first. Maybe he just wanted to confirm the air tool over tightened them.357Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tight nuts
I believe the nuts are steel as well as the studs. They did mention that they may need to heat them up. I use anti seize on everything and will put it on the studs if I get them off. I have been spraying them with Liquid Wrench since I came home. So for right now I am just soaking my nuts, hoping for good things to happen.253Views0likes0CommentsTight nuts
I took my Dodge 3500 to the local Dodge dealer for a tire rotation today. They said that they couldn't get the lug nuts loose on the rear duallies. They tried soaking them with penetrating oil but they wouldn't break loose. They never got them off and told me to make an appt. so they could heat them up and try again. Has anyone every had this problem? I was there when the tires were put on and the tech tightened them with a torque wrench to my surprise. Any suggestions on how to get them loose. They said they tried a breaker bar and air tool but no go.13KViews0likes65Comments2006 Dually Rims
I need to get my tires rotated on my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 and don't know if the front rims are the same as the rear dually rims. I want to rotate front tires to a rear position, and put two rears on the front. If the rims are the same its easy but if tires need to be switched on the rims that's another story.
