Default PSA - 'Swollen' Lug Nuts (GMC & Chevy Trucks)

Ok - get your head out the gutter!

Quick PSA on broken & malfunctioning lug nuts. My '19 Denali HD has lugs with a decorative bright metal shell. Overtime the shell can degrade and crack, putting the shape and strength of the lug at risk. In my case, the shell came off affectively breaking the lug on the stud.

I went to change the brakes this past weekend and noticed first hand how dangerous this condition can be, especially when it leads to the inability to change a flat tire as you cannot remove the malfunctioned lugs.

I got a set of McGard (made in USA) direct replacements without a shell. Not cheap - about $250 at Jegs - but well worth the peace of mind. I know a lot of us have the same tow rigs and wanted to share with the community. Check the lugs and replace immediately!
