Some times preventive actions have more to do with the "professionals" that work on our vehicles than it does our actions.
    Speaking of properly torqued, what torque setting do you use for your lug nuts?

    Speaking from memory, without going and looking at the Lippert manual I am pretty sure that for the 15 inch wheels it is 90 to 120 ft. lbs. But check you manual for the proper torque for your vehicle and wheel size.

    Ralph is correct . . . as usual .
    A curiously wide range for a torque spec . . . but that is what their book says.

    Actually 19 mm. 3/4" and 19 mm are only a few thou different. Probably the closest that the metric and SAE measurements come together. Either (in a six point socket) will work fine on a lug nut.

    If you still have the capped lug nuts and the caps come off an 18mm socket will then fit the nut that is left.

    You are thinking 302 as a Ford motor. The Chev 302 was an amazing engine. A 283 crankshaft in a 350 block (or maybe the other way around ?) Anyway . . . an incredibly strong engine.
