According to my chiltons book it is in two steps. step one is torqued to 75ft lbs step two is torque to 95 ft lbs. Hope this helps. By the way does this mean you found an egine for your truck?

It was gonna be in london kentucky last weekend but was postponed due to this last storm we had. They haven't set a new date as of yet. Are you an Ohio chapter member? If so you could check out that forum for so info. If they set it up again I will let you know when and where if you like.
