Help!!
ive been looking everywhere for the torque specs for the lines that connect to the top of the compressor. We bought the four seasons 57101 compressor if that makes any difference. Oh almost forgot. Hubs has an 89 v6 Dakota. Thanks!!!
all the torque specs would be awesome since we are doing the compressor and accumulator. Thanks again

According to the factory service manual for my 1988 3.9, which uses the same motor and compressor, it's 40 lb/ft of torque. See page 24-23.

so im trying to find the torque for these circled in yellow. 40 lb/ft just seems overly tight to me. I’m looking at my FSM and either I’m blind or I’m totally not seeing what you are

Those just need to be tight. There isn't a specific value you have to torque them too. They just hold the compressor in place.

I looked in the 1995 FSM which is available on the FAQ page. The torque specs were a listing in the left column in the heating air conditioning chapter it was the second to last listing. It's short just a few lines about bracket and mount specs and one mention of the shaft nut. I would hope for something similar in the 88 FSM

the ones I circled are the bolts that hold the discharge and suction lines. So they have to be some kind of torque because it would be crazy for them to not have anything since they are the ones with the vacuum against themOriginally Posted by HeyYou

Ooops. Good point. I saw what I thought I should see, not what was actually there. Too used to the second gen Rams. Originally Posted by Amy_2cnnv
