Finishing up the last of the ford 8.8 conversion in my xj. Does anyone have torque specs for : the banjo bolt, caliper mounting bolts, diff cover bolts, and flange adapter bolts? Also, will 2 qts of 75-140 synthetic fluid suffice? Any info would be appreciated!

you dont really need to torque them to specifics, banjo bolts, tighten snug, you dont want to go to tight to cause them to break as they are very weak. the rest, get em good an tight, with a normal wrench, not a breaker bar or anything

I no one on here knows, I would just call the dealer and ask them to look it up in the service manual.

IF its a posi dont use synthetic oil. Just a quality conv oil and your additive if its a posi. Mine took about 2-2.5qts I believe. But not certain.

Other wise as stated above, just tight. then in about 100-200 miles just recheck everything as you should no matter what anyways..
