* Year and Model of the Ram: Torque specs change from year to year and even between different trim levels within a model year.
* Specific Driveshaft Component: The driveshaft itself has multiple connection points (to the transfer case, differential, etc.), each with its own torque specification.
* Type of Fastener: The type of bolt (grade, size) significantly impacts the torque specification.
To find the correct torque specifications, you must consult your vehicle's repair manual or a reliable online service manual specific to your truck's year, make, and model. Using an incorrect torque value can lead to damage to the driveshaft or its connection points. A service manual will show diagrams and explicitly state the torque for each fastener.
