Default 2015 ram 1500 5.7 serpentine belt tensioner

I would like to ask if anyone knows the torque spec for the bolt on the serpentine belt tensioner.
it's on my 2015 ram 1500 Express 5.7
I'm also replacing the single pulley to and any information you can tell me will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
Troy.

Good-n-tight. In 40+ years of wrenching, I've never been worried about torque specs on things like that.

I don't blame you for a second for asking that question. I've been fighting a belt squeal for a while now and I would hate to over tighten it. My 3rd gen manual says 30 ft/lbs,
