There is a TSB for 03s (Same Wheels as 04) that indicates 100 ft/lbs to prevent warping rotors.

I just spoke with my local dealership and they said the torque should be 95 ft/lbs for the 2004 Ram 1500.

I think they are trying to solve the warping rotor problem.
Before long it will be "finger tighten, then back off 1 turn".
