I have a 2017 F350 Lariat 4x4 srw with a 6.7. It's time to do the front brakes. Normally I buy a manual for all my vehicles but there really isn't one available for the 2017 yet.

Can anyone tell me what the caliper bracket and the caliper bolts should be torqued to?

Thanks,

 

For a 2020 truck caliper bolt torque is 55 ft-lbs and caliper bracket torque it 203 ft-lbs. This info is from the factory service manual.

 

Manual can be found here.

Camper, I appreciate the links. The first is the ford manual. I saw that out there and might pick it up, but it's really pricey. I'm looking for the Haynes or similar manual. The second link goes to a grey market manual that I suspect is a fake. The description says it was produced in 2015 so the chances it'll have info on my 2017 are somewhat dubious.

Hopefully someone with the factory Ford manual will chime in with the numbers.

 

Here's from the 2017 OEM Manual. Same as what Lou posted

 

Caliper bolts are a 1/2 second impact with the 3/8" gun, and the caliper bracket is a 1/2 second impact with the 1/2" gun

 

what are the torque specs for the REAR calipers and caliper brackets?

 

Rear caliper bracket torque is 203 ft-lbs.

Rear caliper torque is 55 ft-lbs.

Brake hose to caliper torque is 35 ft-lbs.

 

so same for front and rear?

 

Yes. I just double checked.

 

For those fasteners I always use the German torque spec- gutentight.

 

203 ft-lbs for a caliper bracket?
Wow.
