How many ft pounds should you torque the transmission pan bolts on a 2000 Chevrolet pickup?

The torque specification for transmission pan bolts on a 2000 Chevrolet pickup isn't a single, universally applicable number. It depends on the *specific* transmission in your truck (e.g., 4L60E, 4L80E, etc.) and the type of bolts used.

You must consult your vehicle's repair manual. This manual will provide the correct torque specification for your transmission. Trying to find the information online without knowing the precise transmission model is risky and could lead to over-tightening (damaging the pan or transmission) or under-tightening (causing leaks).

Your owner's manual might also have some information, although it might not be as detailed as a dedicated repair manual. If you can't locate your owner's manual, a reputable online parts retailer like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts, usually allows you to look up your truck's specs based on the VIN. They might have access to torque specs.

Do not guess. Using the wrong torque value can cause serious damage.
