Egr valve?

[crowsfeet]

Hello again fellow Ram owners. Where would I find the torque specs for the new egr valve that I also installed? Is there a decent link to find this information?

Two bolts torqued to 20 ft. lbs. for the EGR valve, and 20 ft. lbs. for the single bolt, tube to intake manifold connection.

Or just screw them back in and forget about it lol

I've replaced mine a couple times (damn thing keeps throwing codes) and I've never worried about the torque specs for the 2 bolts on it.

As a professional US Navy, General Motors, and US Air Force master engine technician, I was trained early in my career to ALWAYS use a torque wrench when tightening bolts, nuts, etc. This is especially crucial when the bolts are steel and the threaded surface is Aluminum! I know you can get away with hand tight, but that allows the possibility of warped and, or broken parts.
