dodge 1/2 ton steering wheel nut size?

[TroyWilcoxson]

Anyone know the size? Cannot find it in the manual and I need to get a die to fix my threads.

A die that big would be pretty expensive and it's kind of a one time use item. You might try a thread file. You don't really need to know your thread size to use it, just match the file to your existing good threads. Amazon has them. This link explains it.

Neat! Glad you got it repaired. Takes a little time and effort to shape threads with a thread file. Cool part of using that tool is that a few of the good threads will "guide" your file to keep everything straight.



I have used a "knife edge file" to shape threads when I didn't have a proper thread file. Axles are another place that kind of tool is really helpful...

Glad I could help.
