Tom throw a little anti sieze on the threads of the studs. this will lube
and also will not allow the rust to form. I usually end up telling the tire
guys to thread the lugs on by hand and than using a torque wrench. I got
pissed one time when i saw this dude woing the tightening with a air hammer.
On my crew cab the studs were so thick i didnt worry about breaking them, but
on the dakota i do
