thanks dude.I was reading that the info on that install was wrong and the torque spec was set to high in the write-up.A few people were twisting off the bolts befor achieving the proper torque.thanks for the link.A friend is installing guages today while im at work.Dont want any broken knuckels or bolts.lol
