I'm gonna be doing a 1998 c1500 2wd 4.3l stock truck. I'm gonna be replacing the pitman arm, idler arm and bracket along with all the tie rod ends. Does anyone have all the torque specs and any tips or tricks are welcome. thanks

 

I always just tighten the crap out of everything and install the cotter pin. Once the nut is tight it can't spin past the pin anyways. I hit the pitman arm with my 1/2 impact for a couple seconds and call it good. I have rebuilt many front ends and never checked torque specs. So far never had a failure. But that is just I do it.
