Exhaust Manifold

[nolafishr]

I am installing a New Manifold on My 06 Ram 3500 and need to know what the Torque is for the Manifold Bolts. I am finishing up a install with the New Manifold and Turbo, I have a Haynes Manual but does not say what the Torque is. I have heard different numbers on this and want to be sure I have it correct, does anyone know this offhand, Thanks Guys.

The recommended torque from ATS when I installed their exhaust manifold was 50-55 ft-lbs. I torqued mine in two steps, once at 25 and the final at 55, and of course start with the middle of the manifold and work your way out.

In a circle from the middle, The ones i have seen are 32ft#. May have been revised?? for the third gens.

I have seen it stated for 32 LBS Torque on the Bolts Myself and I am not sure, that is why I am asking, maybe it was 55 LBS on the earlier models.

I think 32 is spec but I think people put a little more torque on them. I think i put 45lbs on mine.

In the Manifold Instructions it says 32 LBS, I may go a lil more with it.
