i\'m going to install an aurburn posi in my 7.6 rear. i was looking for the ring gear torque specs in my chilton\'s manual, but they don\'t have a listing for them. does anyone know the torque specs?

The ring gear bolts on a 7.6 rear axle is 103 Ft Lbs. (140 N-m) http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

not to familiar with the gm spec\'s but ive done countless 8.8 ford gear swaps and the spec\'s for those are 77 ft. lb\'s

previous torque specs are from the GM factory manual and list two different Ft Lbs depending on which rear used. Specs for the 7.6 are as stated above.
