I cant find the torque value for the flanges on the front and rear Differentials. Finally got time to put drive shafts on but cant tighten the flanges without torquing
Thanks,

Thanks,
I thought the manual said 300 but that seemed like a lot so I wasnt sure if I was reading wrong.

Just checked my manual and you are correct, the torque should be a minimum of 300 ft. lbs. per TM9-8031. So much for my memory.

Frank,
Thanks for the info. It was confusing to me reading the manual since they have so many flanges.
