125 ft lbs for the three bolts and 175 ft lbs. for the axle nut.

Why does everyone keep saying 175 lb/ft for the hub nut? 2wd = 185 4wd = 180 ... I know it's close but I've never considered torque to be an "ish" kind of thing.

Just curious ...

Actually, '97-'99s are 175 ft.lbs., the 2000's are 180 (those are the only years my Chilton's book covers).
