Had a Ford dealer put new tires on the Jeep today. Tech ran the nuts down with a battery operated impact while jeep was off of the ground. I was watching to see if he would torque them. As I could look threw a window I saw the Jeep trying to roll forward as he torqued the right side wheels. He was a small guy and it sure looked like a lot of torque from were I was standing. Anyway when he got to the side were I could see him, he looked at his HIGH tech torque wrench and decided to reset it. He did not know that I was watching. I noticed that the Jeep moved a lot less as he tightened the left wheels. When he brought his work ticket to the service writer, I asked him why he changed the setting on his torque wrench. He said it was set at 130 ft. lbs and should have been 115 ft. lbs. The owners manual calls for 95 ft. lbs. The wheels are aluminum. What would you have done? I have been using a Snapon clicker torque wrench for 40 years. Hope this does not stir up too much of a stink!
