Hey guys, today while replacing one of my hubs, I decided to torque some bolts to see if I could get rid of some clunking in the front. So I went out and picked up the washers for the front cross member and decided to get some work done. Well I torqued the front 4 body mounts to 63 fp, then I moved to the upper control arm and my paper said it was 261 fp... Well I don?t think that was true, or my torque wrench is jacked up... I snapped one of the camber bolts... now I am stuck in the middle of my driveway with the front driver side up in the air.

Anyone know where I can get the bolt? Am I stuck going to the dealer on Monday? Guessing a Chevy 2500HD would be the same?

Anyone have one and live close to Indiana.

:(

I need a service book that I can trust. Would be more than happy to get a copy, anyone willing to help a guy out?

Thanks almost had a good day.

Hi this is for a 2008 but its likey the same torque specs for your truck, upper control arm bolts are torqued to 140 ft.pounds. Sorry i don't have a bolt.

Hi i have a copy of the owners manual if you want one but not the service manual. Pm me your email address if you want a copy also what year your truck is.

Thanks Tracy... I have the owners manual naw am in search of the shop/service manual. I need something that will at least give me torque value and some direction when I am working on something. If I had the right info yesterday I would have been driving my H2 today...

If anyone has a copy I will buy, I have been looking at the ones on ebay... Also searching the internet for the pdf.

thanks guys.

No dealer had the bolts... I found one in a parts yard, back on good as new.
