You'll need a thread spec M14 X 1.5 nut.

I'd measure the length of what is on the truck now and record that info.

Then ask Benny at AllMoparParts (a vendor here) on what one piece lugnuts are available through him.

Or you can go to Gorilla Locks or a similar aftermarket firm for locking lug nuts that meet your vehicle's spec.

Those wrapped lug nuts caused me trouble several times in 20 years with a Magnum R/T. When I replace the tires on the 2014 Ram Sport, it will be with one piece lug nuts as well.

I've had good luck with Gorilla Lugs on my truck. They changed the model number from what I have but these are the new ones: https://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla-automotive-66148fs

So far they are holding up well to road salt and being on the coast.

I’ve been using Gorilla for 11 years now and they have held up well. They do have light surface rust but it’s not bad.
I would look at Mcgard lugs also , they have been what came on my last two new trucks as locking lug nuts. None of these has any rust .

I turfed my 2 piece lugs right away solid steel is the only way to go.

I never had an issue with mine, but just for peace of mind, I changed mine out some years ago with McGard. And I like that fact they are made in the USA.

Gorilla!

I've had my black ones for my summer wheels for 5 seasons now and they are still in perfect condition.

Thanks everyone for the inputs! Mike

Discount Tire should have the right ones in stock. They swapped mine out during a rotation.

Good luck. I just went through this and everybody I talked to says lugs are all junk now. Except for maybe genuine Mopar, but they are crazy expensive. Fun Fact! - Many, maybe most, lug nuts have a note inside the box that says do not use an impact, hand tighten only. Yeah right. Finally I just said the heck with it and bought a cheapish set off Amazon that are the correct size. They are slightly longer than stock, but I had some non-stock nuts already and never noticed until they started looking rusty. So current plan is to replace as necessary. I got 17 spares. Prob outlast the truck.

Agreed that the stock 2 piece are junk kinda the whole point of this post. Solid steel is the only way to go

I got mine from Canadian wheel and tire in Edmonton they were pretty spendy(8 bucks each I think) but worth every penny

There's also Splined lug nuts that are pretty decent.

Imho do not get lugs that you need a(key ). Regular lugs won’t leave you with 7 nuts off and 1 nut you can’t get off because you lost the key.

Then you better not put a locking lug nut on any of the wheels,if you can't keep track of the keys for the wheels.

I just installed those exact lug nuts on my 2018 2500 last week. I got tired of those POS OEM lug nuts getting stuck in the socket when removing to rotate my tires.

Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the mating-surface of your OEM nuts. BULGE nuts are used on most OEM wheels on Rams….but “Conical” are used on some. Any mismatch will damage your wheels and endanger your vehicle safety.
