Been looking around the site for the correct torque setting for tightening the plugs on the L. I've ran across 11-13 ft. lbs. Sound right??? And any preferences on the the torque wrench you use?? :beer:

7-15 ft. lbs. is the spec. Remember the anti sieze as well. I usually go 15# with mine and if you can change them with the motor cold. The wrench isn't as important as the torque. Good luck.

Thanks for answering guys. Was aware of the anti-seize and changing them with the motor cold. Black Sleeper, will likely be installing TR6s on plug change. Running a 6# lower on a Diablo Chip right now. Gonna make a switch to a SCT XCal and spend some time at the dyno/tuner. Previous owner laid down 379/510, but the truck's A/F is WAY off at 17.5. EEK!! Getting the XCal, a CAI and the tune within the next month.

i usually will hand tighten them, then go just enough b/f i have to actually use strength, but a trq wrench would be good.
