I still can't find the shop manual but did locate an SKF Torque specification guide. It covers up to 2013 model year but if I'm reading it right the spindle nut setup for any truck with the 11.5" AAM rear axle is....
Tighten hub bearing adjustment nut to 22 ft-lbs/30 Nm while turning hub.
Loosen nut approximately 30 degrees and align hub nut with axle tube key slot.
Install locking
key.
Endplay should be .001-.010”.
I'll keep look to make sure this is the same for 2014, but I think it should be the same AAM 1150 axle just the '14 has 5-link coil suspension instead of the leaf spring system.
