I'm changing my brakes and I got my rotors resurfaced but can't the torque spec for the caliper which is held with 2 big bolts . ??

You don't need to torque them. Just get them like the German girl, gutantight.

Caliper mounting bolts. 6 lug trucks have fixed calipers while 5 lug trucks have floating calipers. The specs are different.

I didn't realize they would go to the expense of fixed caliper for such a light-duty application.

I believe all new mid size trucks use a 4 piston fixed caliper. At least all the higher end packages are that way.

I guess the cost of machining have come down so much that it's no big deal to put them on a regular vehicle.
