i think its bigger than that. you should buy some torques that go up to t-45 you shouldn't need anything bigger than that for your truck.

What brand would you recommend?? I'm thinking craftsmen for there warranty. I've had a torx actually twist on me. Talk about cheap. It was not a sears product however.

i got a great deal on T-handle "tamper proof" torx bits on ebay. and ive torqued the crap out of them with no twisting... dont remember the brand but they had red rubber handles.. if you get a set i would go with the tamper proof set with the little hole in the end.... makes life much easier when you come across a tamper resistant torx bolt!
