Believe someone posted up a picture out of the owners manual that the torque is 150ft lbs on the Gen2 also.

Can you post where in the owners manual that it shows 147?



Owners manual does say 150 idk where he got that from

My local dealer's techie told me 147. He is a certified Ford Senior Master Technician. I'll take his word any day. Besides, there's barely any difference between 147 and 150 ft. lbs. We're splitting hairs.

[emoji23][emoji23]. That's hairs that I'd rather not be splitting going 70 in the desert. I'm a master at reading the manual it says 150.

you are suppose to re torque aluminum wheels after the first few thousand of miles. They settle and loosen up slightly. I think 100ft lbs is probably still good to go.

Yup that's what everyone says yet I've never seen one loosen in my almost 30 years of driving and always use a torque wrench on my wheels :)
