Does anyone know what the recommened torque is for the bolts on the transmission oil pan?

Spartan, thanks for that. Would the specs be the same for a 6L80e transmission??? And if I read that chart right, it is saying 7-10 ft/lbs??

80 in/lb = 6.6 ft/lb
I found this for OE spec and also B&M deep pan directions. I thought you had a How To around here? What spec did you use then out of curiosity?

I used the "seems about right" spec when I tightened them up. I knew it was a pretty low spec so I didn't torque them very hard. But, since I am planning on my next Pan drop and Filter change soon, I figured I would try to do it the "right" way this time around.

The last time, I didn't prepare to have to torque the bolts and I didn't have a torque wrench around that was made for that torque range. This time, I will.
