Ok, Im tired of looking thru various online manuals and getting different numbers from each. What do I torque the bearing caps at? All I can find is info for the Ford D44s and Jeep D44s, and the numbers all vary between 60-90ft-lbs. Everything is going back together pretty good (the caps are just snugged down right now) Hopefully the axle will be ready to put back under the truck tomorrow!!! By the way, if anyone can find this torque spec in the good ol' Haynes or Chilton manuals PLEASE tell me what page it is on. I am about to lose my mind trying to find them!
