Missing wheel lock key - Resolved

[deanathpc]

Hello folks,
Apparently my OCD's have failed me. I thought I put my key away after last Thursday when I attempted my front brakes but either I left it on the locking lug nut or I put it in a super secret safe place that I can't even find now.
It was suggested from another post to add some pics to maybe help identify the maker. 7 total splines but there are at least 3 thicker ones in there. I can't seem to find the maker. I bought this truck last summer and these came on there. I was going to change them out and put the originals back on so I didn't have to worry about this mistake that I now have to worry about.
I know some posts suggest a nice be pair of vice grips too. Haven't gone that route yet. I feel like an idiot for losing this. Been very good putting back in it's place.

2018 Dodge Ram 2500 HD is the truck these are on.

I appreciate any help in getting me closer to resolving this stupid mistake.

Do search you tube several different ways to include using another socket over lock lug and also a whole kit made to drill and remove locking lug.

Look like Gorilla lugs but many companies and others do knock offs also.

Go to your local tire store, Im sure they have every lug nut key there for customers who come in with new cars and don't have one.

As @Gr8bawana sez, check in with your local tire store. They probably have one and can identify the maker and part number for you.

I purchased a Jeep Gladiator that had aftermarket wheels and wheel locks. Unfortunately the dealer could not find the key. Imagine that...

Another possibility is you may have a card from the wheel lock company in your glovebox. Check the documentation you got with the truck when you purchased it.

Thanks folks! I'll do some more research on the above.

I came up missing my wheel lock adapter on my '03 Dakota. Fortunately, I had saved the little cloth bag the adaptor came in and it contained a number that I could order a replacement.

This has been resolved. I had no code available and could not find a new key or even who made this one. All four were taken off by other means and the original lug nuts have been put back in place. Thanks folks!

Glad it worked out and good on you for coming back and posting the resolution. Relatively rare with new members. Hope you stick around, this is a great place to learn about your Ram.
