Torque Buddy
A fast, mobile-ready tool to find torque specs for your vehicle — no
bloat, just results.
About This Project
Torque Buddy was built to solve a common gearhead frustration:
finding torque specs without digging through bloated forums, PDFs,
or sketchy videos. You choose your year, make, and model — and the
tool returns clean, readable values.
Dropdowns are dynamically generated from JSON. Once selected, the
spec loads instantly. No backend. No database. Just a fast tool that
respects your time.
How It Was Built
This build uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to render a responsive
interface and parse a structured JSON dataset. JavaScript handles
input changes, selection logic, and DOM updates. All data is
processed locally.
The interface is styled with Tailwind and custom CSS, ensuring it
looks clean across desktop and mobile. Future versions may support
fuzzy search, partial matches, or cross-referencing OEM part
numbers.
Tech Stack: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (Vanilla),
JSON, Tailwind

Q: Where does the data come from?

validated by the developer.
Q: Will this tool support motorcycles or
tractors?
A: Not yet, but the data model is flexible. Open to
future expansions.
