Frequently asked questions

What is the wheel lug torque for a Chevrolet S10 Pickup 2D Pickup?

Did the S10 Pickup 2D Pickup torque specification change between model years?

The S10 Pickup 2D Pickup torque specification changed over its production run: 100 lbf·ft applies to 2002, while 140 lbf·ft applies to 1998–1999. Using the wrong generation's figure can under- or over-tighten the wheel — match your model year exactly.

Should I grease the wheel studs on a S10 Pickup 2D Pickup?

Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.

In what order should I tighten the wheel fasteners on a S10 Pickup 2D Pickup?

Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern in two or three passes, finishing with a calibrated torque wrench at the figure for your year, with the wheel on the ground. Re-check after 50–100 miles.
