What is the rod bearing and main bearing torque specifications on a 2010 ford ranger with a 2.3l

SOURCE: I need the torque specs

Main bearing bolts = 40 ft.lbs.
Connecting Rod Bearing Cap Nuts = 26 ft.lbs.

SOURCE: torque specs.

connecting rod = first pass 18 ft lbs , second pass 75 degrees

main bearings = first pass 37 ft lbs , second pass 77 degrees

wow that wasn't easy to find for some reason .

SOURCE: main and rod bearing torque specs

do you have a Haynes Manual or Chilton? if not check your local library, they may have one, the specs are in there

Crank Main caps Tightening Torque

For the 12 Pointed Head Bearing Cap Sub-Assembly Bolts
Start from center bolts and tighten in a clockwise rotation working out
Step 1 all bolts 22 Nm or 16 ft lb
Step 2 all bolts 44 Nm or 32 ft lb
Step 3 all bolts 45 degrees additional clockwise rotation using an angle indicator.
Step 4 all bolts 45 degrees additional clockwise rotation using an angle indicator.

Hexagon Head Bearing Cap Sub-Assembly Bolts
1ZZ-FE Engine 18.5 Nm (14 ft.lb)
2ZZ-GE Engine 18 Nm (13 ft.lb)

Connecting rod:
1. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
2. Install and alternately tighten the 2 connecting rod cap bolts in several passes. Torque: 1ZZ-FE: 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft. lbs.) 2ZZ-GE: 30 Nm (306 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.) If any of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolts.
3. Retighten the cap bolts by 90° more
4. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
