Default Brake Torque Setting

Need a little more help.

What do I torque the front caliper mounting bracket to?

What about the caliper mounting bolts?

And lug nuts?

You don't specify a truck year, make, model, abs, 4wd, etc.. However the info is pretty much the same across all 3rd gen ram 1500's. If you have a 2500+, or a power wagon, you need to specify, Otherwise here you go.

Lugs are 95ftlbs, Make sure you tighten them in a star pattern.

Assuming by "caliper mounting bolts" you mean the Slide pins and the Slide pin bolts 24ftlbs

I'm not sure what you mean by "front caliper mounting bracket", However most likely about 20 to 25ftlbs.

Get-em tight and do another 1/4 turn.
