Question Rear driveshaft u-joint, u-bolt

2002 Dodge Ram Reg Cab 2500 Diesel. Anyone know the torc for the rear driveshaft u-bolts for u-joint? I can not find the info anywhere. Just know overtighting will cause fail.

Per the 2001 shop manual the u-joint strap bollts should be tightned to
29 N·m (22 ft.lbs.).

Just pretty tight with a small wrench is fine. Your not torquing for the strap but for the bolt size.
