Misc. Torque Specs
I was wondering if anyone might have a service manual and be willing to share a few torque specs. Im looking for torque on the door strikes (and torx size) and torque on the bolts that hold the doors on. I would also like to check the various hardware in the bed used for the box link plates and tie downs. I know the bed bolt torque (129) but not the smaller misc. screws. Thank you.

Don't know the door striker torque but do know they use Torx Paralobe style drive. I used a Torx t40 and it worked okay but was loose. Snap-on truck should be able to set you up.

I had tried a T40 for fit and noticed it was loose too. The Paralobe style is a better fit?

Yeah and don't worry, the bed bolts aren't regular Torx anymore - they're not even regular External Torx - they're External Torx PLUS! A visit to my snap on guy and an obscene amount of money later I have this one single socket that does ONE thing. Crazy.

The bed bolt torque and socket I have. The socket was something like $12 from Napa but that style of bolt isnt easy to stay on when trying to torque above 100 lb.ft.

just curious bc i moved all my strikers to keep the doors in a slight bind bc they fit way too loose from the factory. My opinion is the strikers are too small in diameter.
Thank you

My passenger side rear door sits out beyond the body more than I like. It's most noticeable at the bottom so may actually need some other adjustment, I'm going to bring the strike in just a little and see how I feel about it.
