Question 2003 3500 2WD Rear Hub Nut Torque
Can someone give me the correct preload torque for the rear axle hub nut. I think the manual gives a torque of 120 -140 back off 1/8 turn is this correct, sounds high. Thanks

The correct torque for the nut is 22 ft lbs, or you can mark the nut at the slot for the key that locks the nut and when you tighten it up you put it right where it was.
