Everyone always asks about torque specs, the search column is full of them. So I figured since there is already a thread about the CEL's, why not one that has a fair amount of torque specs for everyone to use![headbang] These all come from the Chilton Manual, years 2000-2005. I will do my best to organize them accordingly. Everything will be in ft-lbs unless otherwise noted.
