So after Wild one found some Gorillas with lifetime warranty on Amazon for his 2014 Ram 1500, I ordered some for myself. Amazon said they did not fit on my 2018, but did fit on his. We compared notes and I figured that was an Amazon error as it can happen. both the originals and the Gorillas part #61147 were same specs...kinda. Length, pitch and bulge style..same, buttttt...not in the diameter:

i did try one of the Gorillas and it basically would slip right through. back they go, McGards will be on order soon hopefully. Apparently the Gorillas are a new addition to their line but I haven't found of the new "lifetime" ones with the part # I need...and their cheaper ones as reviewed seem to rust out a bunch. I believe these ones weren't a fit for Ram 1500s starting in 2016. anyway, if it says they don't fit, believe it!

Watch out for those GORILLA nuts. You know they might turn on you. LOL
