Archived Hub Nut Torque

[DDoctorian]

96 2500 4wd Not sure if front axle is 44 or 60 I need torque specs for the axle castle nut on front hubs. Also for the 4 bolts that hold the bearing assembly to the spindle housing. Running out of time! Thanks much.

My Hanes book says for the 4 bolts, (hub bearing to steering knuckle) the torque is 125ft. lb. The front axleshaft nut is 175ft. lb, does not differentiate between 44 and 60.

That is correct per the FSM also. The 44 & 60 have the same specs in the FSM

Thank you for your help. I read in one of the achieve post someone said 285 on the big nut. That sounded like too much. I'm glad I waited. Thanks again.
