Did the F 550 2WD Super Duty torque specification change between model years?

Should I grease the wheel studs on a F 550 2WD Super Duty?
Torque figures apply to clean, dry threads. Do not grease, oil or anti-seize the studs unless the manufacturer explicitly calls for it — lubricant can raise clamping force well beyond the target and stretch or snap a stud.
In what order should I tighten the wheel fasteners on a F 550 2WD Super Duty?
Tighten in a star (criss-cross) pattern in two or three passes, finishing with a calibrated torque wrench at the figure for your year, with the wheel on the ground. Re-check after 50–100 miles.
