RE: Durango lug nut torque?

100-110. Problem with the high torque is warping. We do check with a TQ
wrench on certain requests though. I know where you're going with this and
there is no problem with this practice...even engineering agrees (as it was
recommended by them).

 Just to confirm, even though the spec is 130-150 ft-lb, the service
dept. where you work is using 100?
