Need to re-torque the lug nuts and need to know how many foot-pounds. I checked the manual and didnt find an answer!

do us all a favour and buy a torque wrench, even a cheap one from harbor freight will work for lugnuts.

We do have one . I just dont use it for lug nuts...only think we torque with it are everything in the bottom end of an engine, and the heads.
