From the service manual, for 2WD trucks:
Connect the tie-rod end. Install and tighten the retaining nut with 61 Nun (45 ft-lbs) torque. Install a replacement cotter pin.
Position the adjustment sleeve clamps so the ends are not located at the sleeve slot. Tighten the clamp bolt nuts with 18 N»m (160 in. lbs.) torque. Tighten Model D350 and all 4WD vehicle (heavy duty tie rods) nuts with 34 N»m (25 ft. lbs.) torque. Ensure clamp bolts are located at the underside of the sleeve.
