F-150 8.8 Torque

Hello, I have a buddy who just installed a shortened 8.8 from a 2001 F-150 into his Jeep and it has been a few months and he needs to drain it and fill it. He needs to know what the torque is on the diff bolts. If you are looking at your FSM and the numbers are easily accessible, can you please post the ring gear bolts torque and carrier bolts torque as well?

Thanks,

JeremyH

I was thinking the diff cover bolts werent anymore than 35 ft-lbs as the torque for the jeep stock axles are 30 ft lbs.

Thanks again!
