I have a 2006, D/A, CC, DRW, 4X4 and I need the torque setting for the front hub extension for the dual wheel. Additionally, if anyone can confirm that the brake caliper mounting bracket torque setting is 221 pounds I would appreciate it.
Thanks
John

The caliper bracket bolt torque is 221 ft/lb. I'm not finding the hub adapter torque. Are you referring to the axle nut? It's 177 ft/lb.

Thanks Dmax,
The torque setting that I can't find is for the hub extension/hub adapter. It is the piece that front the bud wheels bolt to. It is bolted to the lug nut bolts (on the bearing hub) for a non dually truck and sticks out 3 3/4" to offset the curve of the bud wheel. Since it is the non dually wheel studs that it bolts to it could just be the torque setting for a standard non dually truck wheel.
Thanks

OK. I can find the R/R for the adapter, but no torque spec. The same torque spec. range for wheel lug nuts would be a safe bet, I think. Should be 140-160 ft/lb, depending on wheel type.

I have Googled every name I think it could be listed as and have not found anything. I an going to finish the job and tighten them to 150 pounds.
Thanks

Sounds reasonable, and what I would do.

I couldn't find it in the service manual. I'm sure it's there somewhere, but damned if I can find it.
