41 ftlb, but there is a bit more to installing the pan than just installing the bolts, there is a sequence and you need to apply RTV in four places. Get on the Cummins Quickserve site, do it right. Register, it is free, go to the engine assembly section, Lubricating Oil Pan, click on that.

Brother tnx not the oil pan I am not referring to the oil pan. I need to know the torque on the bolt to the oil drain plug.

35 ftlbs... It is right there in the oil pan installation instructions, bottom of page...

I don't know if you know about the Fumoto oil drain valves, but many of us here use them. I won't leave home without mine, lol. They are grease monkey proof, and made of solid brass. I have been using mine for quite a few years.

Here are the ones available for our Cummins oil pans... I use the 2-T11

You can get these at FleetPride, Amazon and I have seen them at a few dealership parts departments. Torque to 35ftlbs

Brother just take out the oil drain plug and put it on. Does it need special wrench. I don't want to over tighten it. Lol

Been a long time, I forget the socket size needed for the main oil drain plug, 19mm - 24mm? There is also one or two at the rear of the pan, I believe those require a large Allen head, depending on your particular pan.

I don't know how old your truck is, but around the main oil drain hole is where the pan starts to rust and fail. The reason I went with the Fumoto drain plug. So when you are down there, inspect around the hole. Stick your finger inside and feel around the edge for any flacking or cracking of the internal coating of the pan. A new pan will run you around $1200+ from Cummins. There are Chinesium knock offs for around $500. I installed a used Cummins pan several years ago, along with the Fumoto and painted the hell out of the exterior of the pan along with several coatings of POR.

My first original oil pan rotted out in five years, oil weeping through the sides of the pan.
