Tire Torque & Pressure 2600 RB

[Chipster]

Hello
New guy here,
I've tried to determine my torque and tire pressure. Here is how I did that.
If someone could let me know if I am on the right path, I'd appreciate it.

Torque -
I believe the torque is defined in the GD owners manual (#2), based on the rim size sticker on the RV
Using that, My wheel size is 15 (#1), so the torque is defined by GD Owners Manual #2.
Question 1 - This is how I am calculating my torque for the wheels. Seems reasonable?

There are (3) stages, which means I run the star patter 3-times, with increasing torque
Question 2 -In each Stage, they give a range. Where on this range do most settle, low or high?
For example: Stage #3: 90 to 120

Question 3 - Are those Foot Pounds?

Tire Pressure -
#6 - 80 PSI for each tire.
This one seems pretty straight forward, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I'm missing.


Just info:
((#4 is the make/model of the Tire and Rims, per GD Parts))
((#5 is the sticker on the trailer, and I was hoping it would tell me Stage #3, but doesn't give much info.))

Thanks in Advance

OK, I just gotta do it..... Question 3 - Are those Food Pounds?
Many of us can relate

LOL -Yea, I caught that on the re-read... AFTER I posted it.
I love the "edit" button!

BTW- I found my answer... Foot (or food) pounds.

If all your doing is checking the torque on the lug nuts, not installing a tire, you can jump straight to the third level of torque. I personally torque my lug nuts to the maximum, a lot of others choose somewhere between the max and min.

I agree that you should be running 80psi

Hi,
I typically start at a low setting to center everything up. Tighten in a cross pattern at three different torque levels until you get to the spec. Since a range is given its typical to torque to the mid point but if you want to torque to the max spec. I see nothing wrong with that. However if your checking for tightness, I would check at the mid point to avoid over tightening since some will move past that point a bit when torquing. Torque tubes that are used in tire shops are horrible IMO.
