Default Torque question

I'm replacing the crankshaft position sensor on my 2001 Dakota SLT 4WD 4.7 V-8 and need to know what the torque spec is for the single bolt that holds this part in place. Also, do I need to use any kind of lock-tite on this bolt?
I have searched the site to the best of my ability and can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

My guess around 22 to 25 ft. lb. no locking goo needed its a small bolt so 22 to 25 ft. lb. should do.

A link but remember on aluminum parts its less.
