I am in the process of looking for a "big boy" torque wrench since our trucks have some pretty high torque specs in certain areas.

My questions is are there any specs higher than 350 ft/lbs that I will need for any repair?

I've checked differential specs, rear suspension specs and front suspension specs and don't see anything higher. Engine and transmission specs typically aren't in the ballpark of steering and suspension related specs.

Am I safe with buying a 400-500 ft/lb torque wrench?

Just want to make sure there's not something that I am missing.

Only thing I know of that requires 350 is the lower strut mount and in my humble opinion, that's overkill. a 400 should be fine though

May want to get two, a 100 and the 400; they are less accurate at low ranges.

Agree. I have a 3/4", 1/2", and a 3/8' for this very reason.

Okay, while we're on this topic (not to threadjack) but as I just trashed my torque wrenches after a failure, recommendations on brands?
