One more reason I do my own work and look up all torque specs. On my 01 Ram those similar bolts get torqued to 200 ft. lbs.!
"the bolts holding the brake calipers came loose"
I think you need to look at the spec again. 200# is way too much.
I just looked at the picture My comment was wrong I thought she was talking about the slide bolts. 200# is not out of the question!
Look again, 200# on the Caliper Bracket. Section 5-3 of the service manual actually states 210ft. lbs.
On edit, I didn't see your edit, yes real tight. Thank heavens for a good 250 ft.lbs. torque wrench! Took a bit with my impact wrench to get it out.
