2011 GMC 1500 - front brake torque specs? (JF3)

WilliamBos · May 16, 2015

Going to service the front brakes on my truck soon, wondered if anyone has the torque specs for all the mounting hardware?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much! Where did you buy that manual? Is iit an electronic version?

I work at a friends 4 wheel drive shop in my spare time and had him get me one for my home garage. I do all of my own work so I figured I may as well have the reference books from GM to be sure things are perfect. It's a GM book, it was something like $250.00 for the complete 4 book set and everything, not exactly sure where he gets them.

You can pick yourself up a Haynes or Chilton repair manual (2007-2013 Silverado/GMC Sierra) at most auto parts chain stores much cheaper. It will contain all torque specs. and most anything you may need to know when working on your truck.

I did not realize it was that cheap, this k I will subscribe. No computer in garage, just read in house.

How much info do you get from the home user all data subscription?

Chris · May 18, 2015

Schematics, how tos, torque specs, capacities, part numbers, and probably more that i dont use. The schematics to me have paid for the subscriptions i have

I have a computer in my garage but it's sometimes easier using the book if there's something that I need to look for.

Good posting, that's a fair price for a subscription seeing how much the actual GM manuals cost.

I keep an old laptop in there. Use it to play music to my stereo, youtube, and Alldata

Helms wants $275 for the manual for my truck. May only keep it 3 years, so I think I will go alldata.

Can you print pages off of alldata?
