F250 lugnuts - 09/10/19 02:43 AM
Took my truck to Ford dealer today for oil chang, fuel filter, and tire rotation.
Service rep comes and finds me and says that 9 of my lugnuts are "swollen." WTF? I didn't realize this was an issue. I guess Ford uses a 2 part lugnut and the chrome cap gets hot and deforms. Not a safety issue, just an issue of not being able to get them on/off.
Truck is a 17 model. 68k miles. They told me new lugnuts would be $19.50 each. Nope. Then came back at $12.50 each. Put em back on. I'll find them cheaper and change them my dang self.
Anyone else had this problem? I started googling and found where someone filed a class action suit against them, but was dismissed by a judge. This is not a warranty item or a recall item.
