Hello everyone! I like the site! I am installing a new PS pump in my mc ss, with the 5.3. I love the car, except at 44k miles the PS pump pooped out on me. Fluid was seeping through the cast!! Anyhow. The new one is in, but the 3 bolts that mount the pump to the coolant passage/ps pump mount are not torqued yet. I am in search of the torque specs. I am talking about the 3 bolts that you can tighten through the spokes of the PS pump pully. Can anyone please help? I would guess around 150-175 inch pounds. Let me know PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

I found this on one site
Power Steering Pump Bolts
25 N·m
18 lb ft

But I just thighten them up all the time on mail trucks with out torque ..

 

18 ft-lbs. is correct, per my Haynes manual!
