Thanks for your info.

Wade,
The torque on my truck's wheel lugs is 140 foot pounds, and the semi lugs are supposed to be torqued to 450-500 foot pounds. I bet the torque on your F5 is going to be higher than the Chevy spec, so check out the spec on it. The secret to my success is my new Makita battery powered impact wrench. It goes up to 750 foot pounds, and makes short work of those semi lugs. It is the only way to go as far as I am concerned!
Good luck on the truck!
Chris
