Instead of starting a pizzin contest between other members on how or what to do, why dont you call the company you bought your kit from. I dont want to sound harsh and i`m not trying to be, but posts like this just start a war on how everybody else would do it. All you will likey find on here, are people with opinions that think they know best. Do it the right way, call the company and get the correct spec`s and percedure.

LoL!!! Yeah I called before I asked for "information", come on really? Guess what, they don't know, stated: "tighten to factory specs", figured I could get a dodge tech to pass some information on, Lu you seem just as happy in these pissing contests, those ideas I already know about, and to me are not proper or accurate (IMHO, useful when its all you have) when you can get the spec info you need somewhere instead of guess, just MHO, thanks for the ideas and infornation guys, and yes all opinions appreciated, welcomed, and respected, pissing contest no, healthy debate yes, what our society is founded on, so if someone has the manual (online one is down) or a tech can give me accurate info, thanks in advance, if it's 140 ft/lbs then thank you very much, any ideas/opinions I'll take them, too! Have an awesome day, ohhhh and I hope I don't sound harsh! LoL :-)

185 sure is a long way off from 140
One could have determined this HUGE difference using the proposed 'test' method.
Good thing someone else chimed in or it may have come apart on you.

Shiz happens Lu, we all slip on stuff, you definitely haven't cornered the market, that's why it's good to converse/debate thanks for your input and again nothing has to turn into a pizzin contest, unless there is thin skin and egos involed.
