Default 1997-2000 Tahoe PN 12343221 Hitch Torque Spec

Good eveninng everyone,

I picked up what I believe is an OEM hitch, part number 12343221 at a junk yard. Does anyone know what the torque specs for the bolts are?

Thank you.

If I have to, I will. I'd much rather go for the correct torque, snap the bolts, replace them, and then give it three ugga duggas.

I thought it was tighten until bolt stops turning, then a little more until it loosens again, then back off 1/4 turn.
