    I was looking over the service manual stated that propeller shaft bolts need to be re-torqued and propellor shaft lubed if used for towing or driving on dirt roads. I Haven’t done much of these so wondering if I should just skip those ? If not what is the torque specs for those bolts thanks .

    I did mine while the oil was draining.

    I did do the u bolts and it was finger loose at 10k (obviously not a common problem I'm sure)

    Top off your tire pressure, lube front shaft and drain the oil and filter change... washer fluid and a quick check while doing your thing.... put oil in it and check for leaks.... get er done
