Re: need some help
My service manual says 20 ft.lbs. for the radiator supports and front cab mounts and 50 ft.lbs for the rear cab mounts. That doesn't seem tight enough to me?
I just make them nice and tight and call it good.

Re: need some help
My manual give the specs as 20 lb.ft. for the radiator support and 50 lb.ft. for the number two position. The number three position being the rear on a truck is 20 lb.ft. The mounts are numbered by position starting from the front with the radiator support being number 1.
The radiator support position #1 and position # 3 mount bolts are 7/16-14 bolts whereas the large bolts in #2 position are 9/16-12. Jim

Re: need some help
I go 3/4 past strip, then back em off 1 full turn
 IIRC, the cab mounts have sleeves in them, making it hard to "overcrush" the rubbers. I would stick to the book specs, & maybe run the truck for a while & recheck em crazyL

Re: need some help
I'm a mechanic though, I torque stuff with my impact, no time to dig out the torque wrench.
