Pitman arm loose!
Does anyone know what torque spec is for the pitman arm nut? I am wondering if locktite would be good idea as well, should I use red or blue?

Pitman Arm Nut Torque
According to my 2003 shop manual, the torque for the retaining nut is 225 ft/lbs. Your 2001 should be the same. I don't think that you need any locktite with that amount of torque. Just make sure that you have the lockwasher above the nut and that it is in good shape.
