Front Differential Question

[overlord1]

I have an '06 Silverado 1500 4X4 with the electronic transfer case. I need to know the GM recommended torque specs for the drain and fill plugs for the FRONT differential. Fill plug takes a 15mm socket and the drain plug a 13mm socket if it matters. Thanks!

I've always treated them like oil pan drain plugs - Tight enough that they don't back out on their own, but loose enough that I can still take it back out with a wrench. Usually 1/4 to a half turn past MY finger-tight.

I use white loctite on all my diff or transfer case plugs and torque to 24 lbs. Not sure who picked 24 but that seems to be the number. The white loctite keeps the threads locked and acts as a gasket sealer and anti-sieze. Really great stuff. Really good for those who don't have a torque wrench and don't want the plug backing out.
