We stock a complete line of Double Cardan front CV driveshaft parts for 2008-2018 Ram 4500 and Ram 5500 4x4 trucks. These Dodge 4x4s use an application specific 3" diameter steel driveshaft with a Double-Cardan Constant Velocity (CV) Joint at the transfer case end, and a conventional single Cardan universal joint with a flange yoke to mate with the front pinion flange. While the CV end of the shafts is the same for all years, the length and slip joint components will vary depending upon the year and engine/transmission combination.
2018 was the last year a Double Cardan Front CV Driveshaft was used in the Ram 4500, Ram 5500 4x4 trucks.
Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note: The Tech Term "Cardan" refers to a conventional cross type universal joint. A Double-Cardan CV joint is a constant velocity joint that has two Cardan type universal joints as component parts.
