Default What is the torque spec for the differential cover bolts???

I need to change out the rear diff oil and I need to know what to torque the bolts to when I'm done. 2 dealers told me to different pounds, one said 20 and one said 30. I know my Camaro is 22 pounds but still don't know what the torque is for the truck is. It is a 2003 1500 4x4. Thank you for any help!

tighten rear bolts in crosswise pattern to 30 lb ft.

Thank you I'll try 30 then. I wonder why one dealer said 20 lbs?
