The Chevy Silverado recommends tightening the lug nuts to 140 ft.-lbs., as stated by the manufacturer.This torque specification helps prevent damage to the lug stud and ensures the wheel assembly is securely in place, avoiding any pressure issues on attached parts. Replacement lug nuts or studs typically cost around $10 - $20 per set. Refer to the owner's manual for the correct lug size and positioning. The Silverado 1500 has a bolt pattern of 6x139.7mm or 6x5.5 and uses m14x1.5 threads.
