Thank you for the great info!!

dmaxalliTech : Just checking to see if there is a typo on the front-upper shock torque being only 15ft lb whereas the front-lower is set at 110ft lb - seems like a great differential and sure want to do it right!

Really appreciate all the helpful items you put out here for us - all in such a cheerful mode!

Shock torque specs are:


2wd front, 18 lb ft bottom, 15 lb ft top.


4wd front, 59 lb ft bottom, 15 lb ft top.


All rear, 70 lb ft.

Quite a difference between Erics specs and the last post regarding the "front lower" torque specs or am I reading it wrong:


is it 18ft lb or 110 ft lbs?


thanks

These are the front suspension specs for an 03 GMC Sierra. I think Eric might have mistyped the 110 lb ft spec.

Thanks, never would have guessed that high for lug nuts! I think my Jeep is 80 ft-lbs.

Would anyone know what the torque value would be for the body bolts?

Thank you!!!

 

[DavesDmax]

I'm going to be doing my first oil change in a couple of weeks, (boy, 500 miles goes quick when you're having fun!

).


I heard somewhere here that the oil filter has a torque spec.


Any advice here would be appreciated.


I will be putting Baldwin B1441's on. Running Delvac 1300 until 10,000 miles.


Well any torque on the oil filter?

 

[dmaxalliTech]

just like any other oil filter, tighten until seal contacts and then 3/4 to 1 turn.

 

[DavesDmax]

Thanks Eric,


I remember where I saw it now. Mackin put a post about the correct oil viscosity (TSB section), and he must have pulled it from GM. He listed the torque as 18 ft-lbs.


That would be about 1 turn from contact.


You aggree?

 

[hdman]

How about the oil drain plug?


Thanks a ton for the info

 

[bsiler]

Thank you very much
Good information to know and have on hand.

[ChevyPackin'Heat]

Sorry

Good info, it will have aplace on my shop wall.
