Those bolts have TORX heads....... so they are in Newton meters...
Typical Dimensional and Torque Specifications of TORX Tools
Since they are Torx 50.........132Nm
1 N m = 8.851 lbf • in
Torque is defined as: The measure of the force applied to produce rotational motion (usually measured in foot-pounds). Torque is determined by multiplying the applied force by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.
•In the English system, torque is measured in “foot-pounds” or “inch-pounds”.
•In the Metric system, torque is measured in “Newton-meters”.
•8.851 inch-pounds = 1 Newton-meter
•1 foot-pound = 12 inch-pounds
•16 ounce-inches = 1 inch-pound
•1 Newton = 1 kilogram-meter per second squared
•Torque = Force x Moment Arm

This is true, I've never seen anyone put a torque wrench on anything like that. I know there is a apec for every bolt on the truck but I only torque head bolts, rods, mains... stuff like that. Id just get them about as tight as you can with a standard length 3/8 ratchet.

Here is a link to a web page of standard torque values for different size and grades of cap screws:
Steel Bolt Torque Specifications Table - Engineer's Handbook
pick the one that matches your screw size and grade.
This is a good page to bookmark if you often need Torque specs for odd bolts

You can over tighten these by hand. I overtightened my idler pulley by hand just the other day when putting on a new ps pump. My idler seized up and blew to pieces. Coulda been a coincidence but I think it was because I over tightened it.
