2000 Chevrolet Silverado wheels complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There have been no failures, but I had to put "one" in an earlier field to get this thing to work/submit. Isn't it better to know of a problem before an accident? On page 6-72 of the owners manual for 2000 silverado trucks it indicates a wheel lug spec. Of 140 ft lbs. That seems unusually high for an aluminum alloy wheel (normally 80-100). I called gm customer service, and they on 12/23/99 confirmed that number. I checked the actual torque settings as the truck was delivered, and noticed that most of them were about 90 ft lbs. I checked with my dealership to see what the shop manual indicated, and was told that there was no reference in the shop manual, but I suspect the service writer did not know fully about how to use that screen. I am going to use 95 ft lbs as my spec. I am concerned that 140 ft. Lbs. Would result in a wheel lug breaking when in a hot and stressed situation.
