Oil Pan bolts: 18 ft. lbs. the two long bolts in the back are 106 in. lbs.
Oil cooler block off plate: 80 in. lbs.
Bellhousing bolts: 37 ft. lbs.
Front Differential mounting bolts:? 75 ft. lbs.
Front differential inner axel to outer axel bolts:? 58 ft. lbs.
Cross member mounting bolts:? 74 ft. lbs. but I usually do 100 so they don't pop. Do this on the ground.
Steering rack mounting bolts:? 148 ft. lbs. for the left and 74 ft. lbs. for the right.
Steering rack to shaft bolt:? You don't need to remove this.
Oil tube pickup:? 106 in. lbs. the windage tray nuts are 18 ft. lbs.
AFM valve: 20 ft. lbs. (did not verify)

You need to alternate tightening the rear oil pan bolts and the bellhousing bolts to pull the oil pan up and back or you'll crack the oil pan.

Awesome! Thank you! I assume I would just snug all the vertical bolts down so the pan is still loose, then tighten the bellhousing bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (that sounds like a lot) then go back and torque the rest?

What I usually do is put the pan up and start all the bolts including the bell housing bolts. I’ll snug up the two rear bolts (not the long ones) where the pan pan still move. Then I snug the bellhousing bolts to where they can still slide and then tighten the two rear oil pan bolts (make sure you can see it sliding up or you’ll crack the pan). Then I’ll loosen the bellhousing bolts and make sure the rear pan bolts are still tight and then tighten the bellhousing bolts and then tighten everything else.
