Hey all, I just purchased a 2015 ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins and the previous owner had installed 6-spline lug nuts on all wheels. That's fine and all, but unfortunately for me, I don't have the key for them and I'm needing to replace the front driver wheel hub assy (WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE WHEEL HUB?)

The typical small and large 6-spline lug key that can be found at local auto parts stores are too small, with the large one being just barely too small. I measured the outside of my lugs and they seem to be 20.5 mm in diameter. Do you know what key I need to purchase for these? I can get them off, but I'd prefer not to do it the destructive way.

Thanks in advance.

Take your truck to a local tire store, they should have one that fits. They may even have one they can sell you. At the least they can tell you which size to buy/order.

a bit off topic :

I see where you live & it brought back memories

I was working, moving those those huge wind powered generators from San Diego to West Virginia.
We had to stay for a weekend in Coal Run Village, at the Daniel Boone Motor Inn

That weekend happened to be when Mineshaft Harley Davidson was holding
'Christmas in July'
I thought that the motorcycle run was special, police & fire dept. running traffic control, if i recall correctly, i believe that it was showering that day. It was pretty cool
