2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Transfer case output shaft torque value?

[VolsFan]

Hi, just saw a drip of ATF coming from output shaft on the Tcase, want to check torque before seal replacement. Same thing happened on my old truck and torquing to proper spec fixed it, seem to remember 65 ft lbs? Can't find a definitive answer on a search

Only have FSM for 99. Should be the same, it reads 35 ft lbs. bg

Thanks for the info. I know that my old 99 head the optional HD transfer case which is standard on the 3500s, not sure if torque would be the same on them or not. The bolts are currently at 45lbs
