They should be torqued from the factory?

*ducks*

Seriously, what are you doing on a 2016 truck that you'd need to? Just curious.

I'm replacing the differential covers, just need the torque spec for the bolts for the re-install.

If I recall 29-39 ft/lbs. I would think the new cover would give you specs.

Unfortunately it didn't. But thanks, that seems right.

33 lb-ft in 2007. The axle hasn't changed, just the cover is aluminum now.
