I've never seen that done for larger torque specs, but I guess there's always a first time.

This link says Stratus takes from 80-110 ft-lbs
That's pretty much in the range for most all car wheels, so even though it's not a Dodge site, it's probably right.

So if yours was 100 ft/lbs, that's 1200 inch/lbs. Or inch-lbs, if you prefer. Never seen anyone do it that way, but you never know with Dodge. 😉

I was talking about the spark plugs. I believe it was around 140 or so inch-pounds.

In a factory service manual I have sometimes seen 3-4 different measurements for each spec. Newtons, ft-lbs, in-lbs, kg-m, kg-cm etc.

My bad. The thread was originally about wheel torque and I lost track of which sub-topic you were talking about.
