Mr gasket 4311. Most others are actually for something else and slightly too big for Mopars. Even Milodons and Arps are too big. Morosos threads gall.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

i have found if you use just a tiny bit of anti-seize, galled threads are prevented. just a guess here, but i think the galling comes from the difference in the plating [or lack there of] differences between the studs and nuts. and to be clear, i torque my nuts to 85-100lbft. depending on the wheels being used and the nut type [cone or shank seat], and have no issues with them coming loose.  Yep, if the plated ones are not lubricated the pIating tears off and basically welds the nut to the stud.

Try running a die over the studs before install, sometimes threads need a clean up new. i forgot to include that. thanks for the input ! i use a "chaser" die instead of a "cut" die as the "chaser" doesn't remove any material, but knocks off any excess plating boogers or shards, and slightly rolls the threads. i use a "chaser" on the nuts also, then a slight amount of anti-seize.
