Does anyone know what the pan and filter bolts on the 48re should be torqued to? I'm going to be changing the pan fluid in a week or two and I was just wondering. Thanks.

 

Filter is 35 in/lb
Pan is 125 in/lb

 

Thank you very much sir.

 

Bless you guy's for using the actual torque specs. I just snug them down and check for leaks. No problems so far...

 

Yep, I k eep an inch/pound wrench in the truck.

Moderately snug work for me on the pan bolts. I probably go higher on the filter. It can't hurt anything short of stripping the threads and you'll never know if that thing comes loose in there.

 

Same here! Works for me.

When I did the diffs at 15k, I just snugged the bolts up, since they were breaking at the torque specs anyway. So far they've been good and I'll do that again the next time. I haven't heard of pan/filter bolt problems, so I figured "eh what the hey, it would be nice to know".
