In 36 years I have never had a Power-Wagon lug nut loosen on its own, tighten yes, but loosen no. It makes perfect sense though as they are self tightening by design in having opposite left and right hand threads. I use the same tool to tighten them as I will be using to break them loose if I have a flat out in the middle of know where. No idea on actual torque. I just know that if I tighten them down by hand with the socket and breaker bar, I'll need a cheater bar on the handle to break them loose later.

I too use anti-seize on the studs.
