[QUOTE="powerlifter405, post: 1551870, member: 2044"] 170ftlbs? Just thinking out loud but if ARP says to torque to 210fts on their newest set of instructions with their new assembly lube, 170 is a less clamping force compared to 210. ARP has been around for several decades, literally the oldest specialized high performance automotive fastener. I watched a show about ARP and the attention to detail and precision is impressive. I have no qualms about using their products. A buddy has a shop and along w/ his friend have several 6.0's in the 2.6 class and he does 6.0's to 250ftbls and 6.4's to 300ftlbs. He's had no HG issues in any of their pulling trucks w/ the elevated torque numbers. At his recommendation, I did the same when I did mine. With 300k on the motor, in the truck, one stud at a time I had the final torque # of 250. I've since pulled trailers as far as 1600 miles and I do at least the posted speed limit, I'm not usually worried about mileage so I'm aggressive w/ the pedal. After reading everything, it sounds like low torque #'s on the studs and maybe a deck issue. Even the fancy 625 ARPS have a torque # of 265ftlbs, that almost 100# more clamping force than the other brand of "extreme studs". Check the deck and switch over to ARPs :shrug: [/QUOTE]
