Front Brake Calipers Bolt Torque

I can't find the bolt torque for the two bolts that "bolt the calipers to the front knuckle". The shop manual list a 100 lbs. for the rear calipers. 04 2500

You're talking about the caliper adapter? The frame that actually holds the calipers?

INSTALLATION - FRONT
(1) Install the caliper adapter to the steering
knuckle (Fig. 38).
(2) Install the caliper adapter mounting bolts and
tighten to 176 N·m (130 ft.lbs.) (Fig. 38).
(3) Install the disc brake caliper (Refer to 5 -
BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/DISC
BRAKE CALIPERS - INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the tire and wheel assembly (Refer to 22
- TIRES/WHEELS/WHEELS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(5) Remove the support and lower the vehicle.

That's what I found in the 04 manual, page 5-22.
