2015 1500 LT Differential Cover Torque Spec Needed

[agraves138]

Can anyone provide the torque spec for the rear differential cover bolts for a 2015 Silverado 1500 LT with the 9.50 rear end. Just need the lbs for the cover bolts replacing with a factory gasket and want to make sure it's right. 

 

ThanksS

20 Foot Pounds.

^^ Correct. 20 ft lbs for the cover bolts, reuse the gasket, 2.59 qts of fluid, 24 ft lbs for the fill plug. Star pattern tightening, I do a snug first the start at the same first bolt and do 20 ft lbs and mark each bolt tightened as it is easy to miss one. Sharpie or paint pen. I use Amsoil sever gear as I used the stock stuff only once after seeing it at low mileage I would not use it again. It is lighter weight for fuel mileage. The gaskets always look pristine no need to replace unless you damage it.   Good luck, nice easy job.
