I have a Haynes for 1993-2005 Rangers which is pretty much worthless. Will one of you please look up the torque values for the front diff as follows?

Bolts that hold the D35 to the frame?

Main bearing caps that retain the ring gear/carrier?

Ring gear bolts to carrier?

 

Bearing cap bolts = 45 lb-ft
Ring gear bolts = 80 lb-ft
Axle to frame bolts = 49 lb-ft

 

Thanks very much!

 

there's actually a spec for the housing to the frame?

i just make em nice and snug lol

 

Me too. lol. Torque specs above are straight from the Ford service manual, although I've never personally used them lol.

 

sorry old habit. In my work, everything has a torque value.

 

i dont blame you on the ring gear bolts and bearing caps.. stuff like that i'll actually take the time to torque.
