I don't know off the top of my head, but I have a 98 Dakota FSM at home, I'll look it up when I get home tonight to let you know what the factory calls for...I think it's around 70-80 ft lbs? I don't know...might be more though.

Page 2-10 of the FSM calls out for 185 ft lbs for the nut that holds the hub onto the spindle.

whew, that's a lot!

and FYI, the 4wd trucks are a little different, on page 2-17, it says to install the hub, torque the bolts to 123 ft lbs, and then install the axle nut, and torque it to 173 ft lbs.

I replaced one on my '99 Dakota a few years ago...bought one at Advance Auto, found it to be a hunk of junk. I ended up buying one at the dealer and returning the other to Advance.
