Torque ratings for 11-12 Mustangs.
 
Did a quick search with no luck.

Is there a compilation of torque specs for certain parts of our cars out there? If not, we can post what you know and I'll compile it into 1 list. I never really torqued anything before and I'm anal with this car.

Also if someone can recommend a torque wrench and what range is best to get.

You can look through a lot of the subsystem manuals here: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=711 Each section should include a document called "Specifications" that describes dimensions, torque specs, and all of the other nitty gritty details needed to maintain the car.

I like this idea - already had to search for the strut tower bolts (19 lb ft), wheels (100) and oil drain plug (19), if I remember right.

Keep in mind I work at Ford guys... I can get every torque spec on every Ford car. As well as every wire diagram, warranty history, and vin decoding. :) ask and you shall receive :)

Ok all of them for our cars! Haha jk. I'd like to compile a list tho. Cause I'm gonna buy a torque wrench shortly. Lol

yes, tone I would like the torque specs of all Mustangs built from the years 1976-1999 also 2002-2012. Then I will need everything you have about the Model T. :)

All that info will cost you :) I charge 50 bucks an hour and that's about 11 hours worth ;)

Maybe basic engine top End stuff and frame?

Also what kind of torque wrench will give me the best use for most mods? A smaller lower # one or a bigger one with higher ratings? Only real stuff I do is brakes, gonna do springs shocks struts, obviously wheels on and off, exhaust etc

texastboneking 11/1/11 09:03 PM

The one you are looking at looks like a good deal to me :). I would go with it. It will get all your basic stuff :)

I'll get your specs tomorrow at work

2012GTCS 11/1/11 09:05 PM

Which one am I looking at?!? Are I in my head?! Lol
I need one that would cover those basic things..

Your looking at the digital torque wrench that has a special going right now when you use the MSOURCE code at checkout ;)

2012GTCS 11/1/11 10:15 PM

oooo yeeah, haha thats the only result of my search lol....creep

2012GTCS 11/1/11 10:16 PM

not too sure if I wanna spend too much on one tho. My buddy says he got his locally for $20 and while not the best one obviously, it does the trick for most stuff. But its only up to 80#

Yeah you can get a click style for around 20 bucks at most auto stores :).

I'll take a full wiring schematic, front to back!
for a fully loaded GT Premium.. Nav, Comfort Pakage.. etc..
pdf is fine..

looking specifically for color codes.. thinking of putting aftermarket backup cam in the car but want it to acces the NAV screen..
