First post on the forum so take it easy please haha, but does anyone know the truck bed bolt torque specs? I have a 2004 step side fiberglass bed and after doing my shackles and bolting the bed back on, the rear 2 bed bolts keep backing out and I can hear it bounce when I hit bumps. I can't seem to find what they should be torqued to so any help would be appreciated thanks!

 

I use the German goodentite principle on those bolts. They're beefy, you aren't going to hurt them. Just crank down.

 

I agree with GMCtrk, güdentîte!!! Those bolts are 14-2.0 or 14-1.5 you arent gonna hurt em.....

 

Impact tight lol.

 

okay, will do haha, thanks for the help!

 

Hell, use a little locktite if they keep backing out.

 

Smack it for 2 seconds w a impact.

 

If they keep backing out, quit using a 1/4" ratchet!!!

 

put down your purse and put some torque on those hoes!

 

Shouldn't need an impact. I've tightened mine up by hand with 3/8 ratchet
