There is no specific pinion nut torque that needs to be reached.. You just need to tighten the nut until the correct pinion preload is reached.
What is the torque specs on a 2001 ford truck rear end pinion nut..
you sell the truck
Where is the fusible link in a 2005 Chevy HD truck
It sounds like the pinion nut is not tight enough and the pinion is now moving in and out. This will do bad damage to ring and pinion. You will need to replace crush sleeve in rear end now.
Get you a CHEVY
there is no carb on that truck
what model - car truck?
it is on your air intake
For the head bolts, 37lbs
I would say the 2001 would win if it was 5.7 vs 5.3 because the newer 5.3 i believe has more horsepower. but it would depend on gearing.
135 lbs
Count the ring gear teeth and the pinion gear teeth and divide the ring gear # into the pinion gear # and that will be the gear ratio. Are you can write the VIN# down and call a Chevy dealer and ask for parts. Then tell the parts man that you have the VIN# and you would like to know the gear ratio in your truck. He'll tell you.
