I cant find it in the service manual or with the search button so here goes

1) are the flexplate to crankshaft bolts torque to yield or are they reusable. EIther way, what is the correct torque specs?

2) same for the flexplate to torque converter bolts.

 

I'm pretty sure they are reusable.... I reused them when I changed the tranny in my wife's blazer with no issue

 

1)The flexplate to crankshaft bolts are reusable and should be torqued down to 55 foot pounds with blue loctite.

2)The Flexplate to torque converter are reusable and should be torqued down to 35 foot pounds for 12 inch converters and 23 foot pounds for 10 inch converters.

Hope this answers your questions.

 

ok so dodge calls it a drive plate, not a flex plate.

The manual excludes this listing for the 5.9 gas motor, but lists it for the 8.0 which should be the same.

5.9 Flywheel is 75 Nm
5.9 drive plate to torque converter 31 Nm
8.0 drive plate to crankshaft 75 nm.

No mention of torque to yield so I will just lock tite them.

 

wow that was quick guys.

awesome.
