I'm just interested in keeping my investment secure, does anyone know a good vendor for locking wheel nuts? Thanks for the help!

Mopar has them usually in stock for about 35.00
:dito::dito: Plus they have a chrome plastic screw on cap that closely resembles the stock lugs.
 
Be careful, the dealer put Mopar locking lug nuts on my 04 and the two locks on the front wheels seized to the studs. I had to drill out the stud to get them off.
And I even lubed the studs the last time I did a tire rotation.

Bill.
 
I woudlnt recommend the Mopar locking nuts. I had them from the factory and had two of them crack over time. Now, the truck used to be up on jack stands almost every weekend for one mod or another ;)...but either way, they will break someday.
 
The locking lugnuts available over the dealer counter for approx 35.00 are different than the originals. The ones with the plastic screw on caps did break and Mopar has replaced them with a new model according to the dealer. Not as nice looking but won't break. I had to change mine because the key socket was lost. I think they look OK because there easier to see which would deter a thief better.
 
By the way the dealer has a tool to remove locks without damage to the studs. Dealer labor was about 50.00 and took about 45 minutes. Saved a lot of hassle so I was satisfied.

So there are two diff. ones that have been sold by dealer over counter? The one's I bought at dealer in late '06 have a screw on cap, is that also the type that came stock on some trucks, was avail. over counter and now there's some w/o a cap that are better?
