Stand pipes

Does anyone know what size allen wrench fits the stand pipes and dummy plugs, metric/standard.
Also what is the torque for these?

Not sure about the size (Metric) but here is the torque chart:

Lots more info in the Tech folder.

05, not sure if they ever been updated. I have the replacement parts, figure since I'll be replacing the oil, egr coolers,STC fitting that I would check/replace the stand pipes and dummy plugs. plus I think my valve covers are leaking some on the cab end of the engine.

When removing the original plugs, you need a 10mm allen key. They are torqued to 60 ft-lbs. The NEW replacement ones, will require a 12mm allen key to install. And when you do, ALSO torque it to 60 ft-lbs.
