The book says 16-20 ft lbs. Which seems a little light to me. I pull them down as tight as I can get them.

Is this a problem that is limited to the automatics?
Any hand shakers out there with loose starter bolts.
I've repeatedly checked mine and they are always tight.

Mine have come loose a couple of times. The first time I noticed they had come loose and didn't know, I tried to start the truck and then heard a loud CLINK

, looked under the truck and noticed the starter hanging by its wires, I broke the mounting bracket off the starter.

Glad you're back on the road with the turck, but I hate to hear about that kind of unexpected expense hitting anyone these days. It hurts ....even if you have the cash laying around.
