I had my tires balanced recently and the lug nuts were very difficult to remove, when they attempted to reinstall them some would not thread onto the wheel studs.
The shop had to take a wire brush to the studs and the nuts to remove slivers of metal shavings that where stuck in the threads. Upon further inspection it was determined that the wheel nuts where stripping themselves out.
After the nuts were cleaned up and reinstalled they would not immediately torque, they would keep spinning and not set off the torque wrench.
Tire shop says they have seen this on HD Rams numerous times, Ram said they have never heard of it, and even though the truck is 4 years old with only 25k miles on it I am **** out of luck.
Anyone have similar issues???
