I've searched all the usual sites and here and I haven't been able to find these specs (only found the rear shaft), I needed the torque specs for the front drive shaft to the diff. and to the transfer case. If anyone has them handy or knows where to find them i'd be much appriciated
I had the drive shaft re-built with greasable U-joints cause the dodge ones that where in there were crap and didnt last long

 

They should be pretty similar to the rear specs. I normally just tighten them good and snug. Its worked so far on the truck and jeep.

 

Just put the hurt on it until you see that little vein pop out on your forearm, then go another 1/2 turn Just kidding. I think youll be alright if you just get em good and snug.

 

Dont worry about torquing it all up perfect. Just get em pretty tight. All you need is for them to be tight enough to not back out.

Lock tite 'em!

I've had the saddle strap bolts back out on my front diff!! Not cool.......

 

Yeah, just tighten them with a wrench or 3/8 impact wrench, I use a makita cordless 3/8 and never had a problem, but the bolts on the t-case are a bit of a pain to get at, I just used a 16mm socket and extension.

 

I second the use of loctite. I use a small amount on all bolts that I know I am not taking out in a while.

 

thanks for the info boys, i tighten them up good with my 18V Dewalt with some loctite ... but (theres always a butt) the vibration is still there so back its going to the driveshaft rebuilder, i guess it wasnt balanced properly cause it vibrates without 4x4 engauged and more when its engauged! ....thx again
