How many lb's should I torque stock pulley to?
 

Im putting my stock pulley back on. How many lb's should I torque the 14mm hex screw to, and how many lb's should I torque the 2 nuts and 1 bolt for the cage to? Would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!

specs
 

specs on stock pulley is 74 ft lbs and the bracket nuts are 34 ft lbs

you selling your truck or going in for a warranty claim?

Selling my truck? You crazy?! Goin in for a warrenty claim. I have a bunch of stuff that needs to be fixed.

I had the same question Mike but figured that you were like me and would never dream of selling your truck :thumbsup:

WARNING
 

Make DARN sure you use anti-seize on the stock pulley threads as they can be a biatch to remove.

Mine was a LOT tighter than 74lbs. Ended up using a 3-foot cast iron pipe on the end of the socket driver, broke a tooth off the driver, and messed up my back in the process. :mad:

Hand tight on the 14 mm is sufficient ... since it is left handed
that 400 HP engine will tighten it right down ....

Ditto Rabid Robert on the anti seize ... I did mine for warranty
work and after a week it still spun right off with the proper
anti seize.

Thank God you'll not selling your L! :rocker:

Nope! As much as my brother and dad make fun of me, hell no ill never sell her! Just dropped her off at the Ford dealership today for warrenty work, and visited Paul over at REM for about an hour. My buddy with an 03 White L bought some goodies.
