20ft lbs on the outer smaller bolts.

and 55ftlbs on the inner (larger) bolts. I just did it last night is the only reason I remember.

Do you have the torquing pattern (which to put in what order)? That's important too, but I'd rather not describe it unless you need it.

blue stuff for what? bedplate to block sealant? Mine was a cherry red color. It's an anaerobic sealant from chrysler. mopar p/n 4318083.

There is a certain line for the sealant specified in the manual too.
