2000 Silverado 5.3L, LS, 2wd.

Anyone have the torque specs for the Power Steering Pump Bolts?

Any info is greatly appreciated

No clue. 8mm bolts max 35 , 10 mm max 50. If you use a spring type lock washer tighten until it flattens. Parts like this don't normally see a torque wrench

Update

Installed the Jorgen rack and pinion, tie rod ends, Genuine Power steering pump and all hoses. I made sure to install the power steering pulley so that it was flush with the power steering pump shaft.

It's been two weeks and absolutely no leaks.

Truck is back on the road

Thanks for everyone's input.
