Tech Note 1: Kit Components
QK3072 Custom Front Driveshaft Rebuild Kit includes:
(2) QU40774 Greaseable 1330 U-Joint
QU40758 Greaseable U-Joint for the Slip Yoke
QU40131 CV Flange Yoke Assembly

Tech Note 2: Identify Components
Dodge used several similar Double-Cardan Front Constant Velocity Driveshafts, but each type will have certain unique parts even though the assemblies may interchange. For instance, in the CV Joint, most 2003 and some 2004 trucks use a small size u-joint which has 1-1/16" diameter cups. All others are equipped with the larger size u-joint, 1-3/16" cups in the CV heads. You must correctly identify what type of components your driveshaft uses before ordering any parts or kits. To help you through this simple, but essential process, please see Tech Notes Front U-Joint ID, Slip Yoke Types, and CV Joint ID. You need to verify your CV shaft component sizes to ensure you order the correct Kit. Remember, an old truck may have a newer shaft or vice-versa, so be sure to order the parts by type, not just by year!

Tech Note 3: 2003-2004 Dodge Ram Front CV Driveshaft
QK3072 Rebuild Kit is Correct For Your 2003 to 2004 Dodge Ram Front CV Driveshaft IF:
A) The front driveshaft universal joint by the axle has 1-1/8" diameter cups.
B) The front universal is retained by plastic injections (original u-joint) or inside C-Clips (replacement u-joint).
C) The inside distance between the front slip yoke yoke ears is 2-9/16"
D) The two Universal Joints in the CV Joint use external snap rings and have 1-1/16" diameter cups

Tech Note 4: Not Correct Rebuild Kit?
If these characteristics do not match your driveshaft, see Kits QK3075, or QK3109.

Tech Note 5: Kit Excludes
To keep the cost as low as possible, this Kit does not include the Dust Seal or Boot Clamps. If needed, order QU40704 Dust Seal and two Type 1 QU50138 Boot Clamps separately.
