I'm going to be putting new tires on the Monty as soon as I get the lift done next week. So today I pulled the spare tire cover off so I can remove all the plastic crap so the larger tire can fit. And to my surprise the Spare Tire has a wheel lock on it. I did not receive the code lug when I purchased the vehicle so what do you all advise me to do? Would Discount Tire be able to find the right lug code to pull it off or will I have to make another trip to the Dealer?

Guys at tire shops know exactly how to get those off. It usually involves knocking a socket on there tight and an impact wrench, but it can be done. Although, the dealer you purchased it from should work with you to solve it too.

yup, I had the same problem on my 99 about a week ago.
The tire shop helped me get it off without problem.

Glad I didn't need the spare driving down the higway, as I would have been ******** OUT OF LUCK.

Thank you All for your advice. They were able to take it out in less then 5 minutes at my local Discount Tire. I didn't want to miss the $60 mail in rebate which ends next Tuesday so I ordered 5 new 265/75/R16 BfGoodrich All-Terrains and hopefully they will be installed tomorrow!
