Yeah for more clarification it’s my front CV axle is what I’m talking about. I don’t believe I have max tow.

So i was able to remove my axle nut and let me tell you… this was way over torqued. Well past the 250 mark. I had to pull out my impack and held it down for about 15 seconds before it started coming off. Zipped it back on and took my torque wrench and put it to 255. Zipped it off again and it came off within 2-4 seconds…. So I’m assuming with that info there that the axle nut is way over torqued or it requires more than 250+ lb and I can’t see that on a half ton. Super super strange.

Alright well 2nd dealer called me back as well. They confirm it’s 184ft. Not 250. I did set mine to 250 tho…. But originally these were probably set way past 300ft…. That’s insane.
