Chassis Designation

[CBChief]

How do you determine which Workhorse chassis you have. I am trying to find out what my wheel nuts should be torqued to. A P-32 calls for 140 ft-lbs and a W-22 calls for 485 ft-lbs. The 475 lbs sounds like you would need a torque multiplier to aquire this type of torque.

The W Series does indeed need 475 ft/lbs of torque on the lug nuts that you previously wrote.

i use a 3/4 drive 42 inch long torque wrench from harbor freight.
i have to just about lift myself off of the ground to get 475 FT LBS.

If the sixth digit from the left in your Vin # is a "6", then you have a W-20 or 22. If this digit is a "5", then you have a P-32. Also, the P-32 has independant front suspension with air bags, while the W series uses a monobeam front axle. ED
