Interesting - seems like bolts with locking features would require different torque specifications - XX in-lb above running torque. But then they are small bolts. It's possible the running torque is within the tolerance range of the torque requirement.

Ya I belive the torque is 108in lb for 15 and newer and 105 for 15 and under 5.7

What bolts are y'all turning there, anyone got a pic? I kinda need a visual reference or else I'm just as likely to end up popping out the back seat by accident.

Had oil staining on the top of my 2014 that just clicked over 100k milke. I'd been blaming it on leaking valve cover gaskets until I learned of the loose intake manifold bolts. Checked today (heat index at 101-degrees mind you) & all 10 were very loose. Tightened all back to 108 in-lb.
