around 60 ft-lbs i think

what exact bolts are you talking about the ones that hold the ring gear to the carrier or the four colts that hold the carrier in the housing?

i think the ring gear bolts should be around 60-65 and the bearing cap bolts 60

this is what i got:
* RG Diameter 8.50"
* 10 7/16" X 20 LH Threaded Bolts
* PINION Diameter 1.626", 30 Spline

CASE: 2.56 & Down, 2.73 Numerically Higher

8620 Material Heat-Treated

Assembly Specifications:
* Cover Bolt Ft. Lbs. 20
* Pinion Bearing Preload In. Lbs 24-25
* Pinion Bearing Preload In. Lbs 10-15 Used
