Re: Cab mount torque spec
We found it in the manual. It's at the back of the service manual with the other torque specs I've checked before, of course. According to the manual they're 45 ft lbs front and rear on this truck. I'm using rubber mounts from LMC.
I torqued the mounts without any additive on the threads. Torquing bolts to spec with anti-seize will usually result in over-torquing because it lubes the threads. And threadlocker isn't needed on mounts. Anybody want to opine on how close is good enough in terms of squaring a cab to the frame? Within 1/16"? 1/8"? I didn't find any spec in the manual. FWIW, I think I'm around 1/16", which probably means I'm really around 1/8" due to user error with the tape measure, etc. I guess I'll know how good or bad it is after I hang the sheet metal.
