I used a haynes manual from auto zone. Maybe they have a website you can see right quick. Be careful because I cracked mine and had to go track down another.

I would start on the center bolts and work your way out, just like doing a oil pan.. Should be gtg..

I think it's a two step torqing sequence. Be sure not to tighten too much on the first go round. I wanna say final torque is like 18-22ft lbs but I'm not sure. Might want someone else to chime in.
The skinny long bolts are less.

thanks guys. i just started from the center and made an X all the way out. i used the elbow torque wrench. feel where it bottoms out and give one extra little umph. the truck is all back together but still waiting on a cam so the entire front end is still missing but i did drop the pan and check out the bottom end. looks like its ready for another 100,000 miles of rough riding:nunchuk1:

after a few phone calls for pointers from you, dinner and a few beer breaks almost 4 hous. thats including pressure washing and drying the pan. it will be ALOT easier next time. its one of those first time takes forever and next time takes 1/2 the time mods haha. it was my first time jacking with the oil pan with the motor installed.
