I'm not an engineer either, but I think the people that set the torque spec at 83 lbs probably were engineers, and to me, under-torquing sounds as bad as over-touquing.

On 5 or 6 family vechicles that I have worked on, my Tundra has the lowest torque spec. The highest is my dad's GMC YukonXL 2500 which gets torqued to 150.
