Changing the tranny fluid on my '04.5 48RE and would like to know if anyone has the torque spec. for the bolts that hold the valve body to the tranny case?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

100 in lbs on the valvebody, 53 in lbs on the filter bolts

 

If a guy wants to get the most tranny fluid out leave the valve body bolts alone. Let your truck sit overnight and drop the pan. Change the filter, clean the pan and magnet, bolt pan up and refill. Now it takes two men, one cracking the tranny outline to bleed the converter and other to start/stop the truck in neutral. The 48re doesn't pump fluid in park without a tranny mod. Buy at least 20 quarts of ATF4 or whatever floats your boat. Don't mess with a valve body if your auto is good to start....... Is this what you were thinking eastmentCTD600?
