Lug nut size ..
After being transferred 6 times to different departments and waiting an average of 2-5 minutes each time when calling the dealer, I thought I'd just ask you guys on the forums.
I have a 2002 Dodge Durango SXT with 16" rims. I'm going to be buying a torque wrench, tire wrench and socket for the lug nuts since the one that came with the truck is too small. (kinda weird since the rims are the stock rims).
What size socket wrench should I buy? We're planning a long cross country trip and I was just prepping the Durango when I noticed that the tire wrench that came with the truck doesn't fit.

I have found all over the web that they are 3/4", but after trying several different styles of wrenches and different makers, I have found the ones used on my Durango are not actually US size but Metric and that there are also proprietary locking lugs that only Dodge/Jeep/RAM/Chrysler approve mechanics have. Or you could go out and get the proper lock nut head for like $50 - $90 depending the shipping and place of purchase.
