If I had one thing negative about my Ranger, it would be those stupid lug nuts that corrode and swell. Anyone else have this issue and are there any suitable aftermarket solutions to that crap.?!

I've been using aftermarket Ebay extended splined nuts and they've been great for the past 150K...

I got these last year mostly because I'm not a fan of chrome. But the swollen nut syndrome also was a deciding factor lol.

Liberal application of 303 will avoid the problem of Swollen Nut Syndrome !!! Proven, with the right procedure, to relieve the symptoms of Swollen Nut's.....
Strangely, this also affects some on the Ford Expedition Forum....
I have made some comments there, as now I'm an Expy owner.....but no one will rise to the comments.....
