I don't bother with specs for mine I just lightly snug up the themostat bolts with a bit of anti-seize. Same with a water pump little anti-seize and snug them up. Belt tensioner I just tighten up.

But... Right from the Dodge FSM.

Thermostat... Tighten the bolts to 24 N·m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.

Water pump... Tighten mounting bolts to 24 N·m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.

Belt Tensioner... Tighten mounting bolts to 67 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) torque.

Common good sence
The water pump is a "O" ring gaskt right? You need a little silicone grease the rubber part.
T. housing - snug, I anti-seize all bolts every where anymore.
Belt - ten , just tight.
I know you could look all these up for exact fastenr torq ..but they are not just that critical

I know this is a very old post…. I was looking a the torque spec on this post in regards to the belt tensioner. It reads 32ftlbs. You responded with the torque to be 50ftlbs. What torque rating is correct? Long time lurker on Cummins forum and Mopar1973man.com I checked your site hoping to find that torque spec and I didn’t find it.
Thank you

It does not matter just snug and a touch more

Just torqued it to 32. I’m not entirely concerned about correct torque vs too tight and breaking the bolt. A while ago I broke a bolt at work in the worse possible location. Took forever to remove it. Don’t want the same situation with my truck while time is of the essence.
