Thanks Lanier. It hasn't been that long since I put my front end(the
GMC's, that is) back together and I thought I started with 140lbft
and then tightened until the holes lined up. When I wrote that email, I
grabbed the book to check myself and found the 110lbft number. Could be
a typo in the section I pulled it out of - should have checked the
torque table at the end of the section.
