Anyone care to break this down for a newb?

Control arm specs are for both ends? Shocks and stabilizer bar and such are self explanatory.

Rear axle brace and tie rod is panhard bar, correct? Which is which on the 3. The tie rod is the bar running from drive side to passenger side bracing the Panhard on the frame? But which description is which of the 3 bolts? Two are 140 and one is 70 lb ft.

Just for FYI, the camshaft sprocket info here is incorrect and caused me to damage all three of my cam bolts. I stretched all three bolts but realized it was not tightening down like it should before they broke off. Luckily no other damage was done , but I can't get new ones until Tuesday.

The correct camshaft sprocket torque is 26ft/lbs. And no "degree" of turn afterwards. This list should be thouroughly gone through if it us to stay in the "How-To" section as a lot of people use this fir their reference and major damage can be caused by the mis-information.

It is a direct copy and paste out of the service manual.

The specs are different from the early 3 bolt cam designs to the later single bolt cam design. You would have to know the difference between the earler 3 bolt design and the later single bolt design. The specs listed here are from the 2008 service manual which is the single bolt cam design. I stated that in post #19:

Ok that's it for now. If anyone sees anything else not listed that you want to have, just ask.

BTW these are 2008 specs. Other years should be similar on most items.
I can see how you would be confused and made the mistake you did if you didn't know the difference between the early '06 and late '07+ cam bolt designs and you didn't read all of the information in the thread. I'll edit the original post so that it's more clear for those who don't know the difference between the 3 bolt cams and the single bolt cams.

The torque spec for the 3 bolt cams is 18 lb ft as per the GM service manual and not 26 lb ft as you stated.

Well at least we can specify this now and save another from this headache down the road.

And reading this through from the beginning it does not say its for the 2008 (until after reading it now) Until after the Info is given out in its entirenty.

I simply went to the Torque Thread and found the number I needed. I would not go searching the thread for relevent year info when at the very top of the thread in the first post you have it llisted as "6.0L LS2 Info".

I think you need to put the specific year info right at the top of the page that this is 2008 iinfo, not in the middle of the thread....I am pretty thourough and I did not read any non numerical thread info in this particular thread as it didnt pertain to what I came in here to get. If its in the how to section...it should be clearly marked as what its for if there are differences.

Not Complaining, although I am not happy about being delayed three days for this, but if it were stated in the first post, I would have seen it from the get go and gotten the right info.....and I am sure anyone would/could have missed this. I did not realize there were three bolt and single bolt cam options and It also didnt state it in the info.

Thanks for changing it, but remember , when posting info for all...you have to think like those who are reading it will....It comes easy to you who do this daily, but for the rest of us, we may not know the minute details that can cause problems such as this one. I am just glad the bolts stretched and didnt strip out my cam.

I do understand what you are saying. But, I cannot and will not put all exceptions and variations possible to all technical information I provide to the community. This thread took a considerable amount of time to gather all the info to put together a consolidated thread for it all and it would take an extraordinary amount of additional time to post any and all variations to any or all service procedures I post on this forum or list everything separately for each model year. I just don't have the time to be proactive and investigate all the variations, exceptions and possibilities on all the technical content I post to preempt people making mistakes on their own. Ultimately you are responsible for what you do. Take the information for what it is, a resource. Another great resouce is the people of this forum you can ask if you are not sure about what you are doing. You are always welcome to PM me as you have done in the past if I can help, I will when I have the time. If you find an error or find something hard to understand... I'll change it as needed and have no problem doing so, as I have done here for you. Treat it as a Wiki. There is just no way I can comb through all the info before hand, and I can't be responsible for what you do to your truck if the information is misinterpreted or otherwise. What I will stand behind is that this is not "misinformation" and is as accurate as humanly possible from the information that I have access to straight from GM or from my own exeriences. I guess I may have to add a legal disclaimer to my signature. Either way, sorry for your trouble.

No..Its all Good Jay..you do technical Help for us all the time....and I appreciate it....
...this didnt cost me anything but a little bit of time since its the weekend.

Just add to the top what you put at the bottom about the 2008 info.
Put the 2008 Info in the frst post....not after all the specs.
Thats all I am saying.

Once again...all your technical help is apprecitated by many of us including myself.

Matt, I changed the title of the thread to state it's for 2008 model year and other model years are similar. Is that good or do you see it needing something else as well? I also added for the 3 bolt cam design as well in the torque specs.
