It's soaking in it now. I'm the king of using too much torque but I didn't even have the ratchet on the extension/socket when it spun off the stud. Front one almost fell out. Rear one was fucked.
Well at least they both didn't snap.
I got sick of working on used shit all the time and got a new truck so I wouldn't have to worry. And now I'm modding it anyways. Ecoboost engines are fast as shit if you're willing to void the warranty with a tune haha.
Do they still have the cracking issue? I remember the 2.3 turbo would crack the block when it first came out.
Dunno, it's been around a long time now though.
Edit:
Tuners in the states figured out that 480 ft lbs (corrected) and above could crack the block.
