Anybody know the torque specs for the bolts that hold that tail housing/t-case adapter to the transmission? I can't find them anywhere (including my Haynes manual).
Thanks!

Seems low considering what a PITA they were to take out!... but I guess they are threading into aluminum... Can anybody confirm?
Thanks,

Adapter housing 25 ft-lbs is directly from the ATSG manual. Then in the transfer case manual transfer case to tramsmission is 26 ft-lbs. Use some loctite it will give you that old feeling you like.
