Body Mount Torque

[14silverado4.3]

Trying to get some correct number for the torque of the cab body mounts.

 

I have seen and heard everything from 52 to 122 foot pounds.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated...

The front most body mount, the one at the front of the front fender is 52ft.lbs. The big bolts for the cab mounts are 122ft.lbs. If the nuts were taken off that hold the mount to the frame of the truck, those are 32ft.lbs. Also, GM calls for red threadlocker on the big bolts and the front fender ones.

So the 3 bolts that the running boards mount to would have to be torqued to 122ft.lbs right? Just making sure

I am not sure that 122 ft / lbs is correct.

 

All steps / nerf bars instructions that I reviewed showed 62, 64, or 74.

 

122 is tight

Wondering if you ever found the right specs for the body bolts?

I just torqued mine to hand tight with a wrench. When I could no longer move the bolt without extra force or leverage I called it good. Been on for 6 months-ish no problems so far.
