Checking Lug Nut Torque

Why just kidding? I too, was planning on welding all the tire nuts in place so I don't have to worry about tire inspections.

Is this not correct?

 

heck just weld the bead to the rim

 

Thanks for sharing your expertise! I have a suspicion that CRE and Swift is going to experience an influx of illegal welds now. "I read about it in a forum somewhere."

 

your a driver not a mechanic. almost every nut and bolt on the truck have a torque rating. gonna check them all twice a day??

 

LOL that would be funny as heck!

 

That's a guaranteed way to lose a good job.

 

heck, just weld the truck to the ground

 

What's an "illegal weld"?

 

plus one would need a torque multiplier tool. no way in heck can anyone not use one for the massive torque the lug nuts need.

only one example

1,000 Ft Lbs 3/4" Dr Williams 3.6:1 Torque Multiplier & Handle - TM-750LW

 

one done by an illegal alien?
