The torque specs provided are incorrect for a '04 F-450 and we do not need anyones axle falling out. It is supposed to be 222 lb-ft...
You can find a copy of the service manual with all the needed torque specs at the following link...

since your in new york i would use stenglebros...there in pa i think...get the right size and their website might have recommended torque values which i find closely resembles factory torque specs...i also apply a some oil to the threads...if u go through ford they most likely wont have the nuts and bolts in stock and will probably get raped
