Anyone have the 03 Service Manual - Fill/Drain Plug Torque?

[vettenuts]

I just picked up the Haynes manual, which as usual is lacking in information. I am looking for the torque value for the front differential fill and drain plugs and the transfer case fill and drain plugs.

Thanks

Lol, you want the torque specs for everything dont ya?

I usually just tighten till I think its good, but it take a good mechanic to do that. \/ O

Guess it is the combination of how I was taught and working for the Navy.

For both T-cases (NV231 and NV242) my '03 FSM lists the torque for both plugs as 15-25 ft lbs.

Anything on the front differential?

Nothing specifically about fill/drain plugs on the front diff, but it gives a range for the cover bolts of 14-19 ft lbs.

Thanks. I also sent you a PM, at least I think I did. The PM function on this web site seems to work differently than the others I belong to.

I also noticed on the drain plug that the rubber o-ring looked like it was originally molded to the drain plug, but now has a feathered edge and is loose from the plug. Guess that was to hold it in place during the assembly.

I just came across this, its a 2003 service manual that you can download.

You can find the torque specs here... but you get warned that is Wikipedia and you have no guarantee of anything...
