I think its his way to remind you that the drivers side still needs to be done.

Exactly. Any idea where to find a torque wrench though?

Here are a couple of your truck. I forgot to take pictures on Sunday so the whole process isn't detailed here. I will load up other pics in the Winterfest thread.

Passenger side injector hold downs were all below 5lb-ft to start with. They've been brought to 10lb-ft. Just reminding you that the drivers side needs it badly still.
