Thanks! I can get that done. Just needed to know, anything is better than the wild ride that would result from improper torque values! Got my new alternator, and I might as well do the oil, coolant, and always fun zerk fitting search... You'd think I'd remember where they all are by now.
I've seen torque specs for the HEMMTT lugs, but not for torquing the wheel halves together. I'm putting new 46" Goodyears on 'er this weekend, and I while I like a good adventure as much as the next person, wheel,halves coming apart at 45mph is not on my bucket list. Any help would be greatly...

Thanks Srjeeper, I just got 'er and I'll take care of that while I'm checking off all of the points on the lube order. I love tech manuals because I'd hate to miss a zerk fitting!
FNG with a question regarding what appears to be a vent valve on my rear axle carrier assembly inspection plate which is seeping gear oil. I have searched all of my tech manuals and do not see any depictions of this cover with a vent valve. My question is two part: 1) Should this plate have a...
