2015 ecodiesel 4x4, 3.92 ratio 10,500 Lb winch.

[fmatiella]

I have been pulling tree roots and small stumps with the winch. On four different occasions, the front left lug nuts have come loose. I have re-torqued them every time to 130-140 ft/lb, but still they have come loose again. I park the truck on my paved driveway, tranny in park, t-case in four low, and parking brake on. Twice, the winch pulled the truck toward the stump. As I said before, I did re-torque them after I finished. The next day; same issue after winching. If you winch, keep an eye on this.

Bad studs is about the only way this is possible and the grain is stretching. I'd get em replaced before you drop a wheel going down the road
