2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front Axle torque sepc needed

[CumminsAholic]

I still haven't gotten a manual for my truck... I know shame shame... . anyways, I replaced my front axle seal (drivers side) and I had to take the differential out to do it, now it's back in but... . I did a search and couldn't find the torque spec for the caps that hold the differential (carrier bearings) in place, could someone look it up for me? I can guess on my mud truck, but this truck is a different story. Don't want to look like this :{ on the way out to Yellowstone. Also there's a couple of plastic bushings on the CAD arm that ride on the collar that locks the shafts together... . One of mine was broken when I took it apart, can I get a new one from somewhere besides the dealer? NAPA said it wasn't listed.

TIA

I would go 65 ftlbs with a drop of loctite.
