2003-2013 Ram Front CV Driveshaft Introduction
Dodge used five different Double-Cardan front CV Driveshaft configurations from two different manufacturers in 2003-2013 Ram 2500, Ram 3500 4x4 trucks with the 5 link suspension AAM 9-1/4" non-disconnect front axle.
2003, most 2004, and some 2005 shafts use a 1330 CV head and an AAM 1344 front u-joint. Some 2004.5, most 2005, plus many 2006-2009 trucks use AAM built 1355 CV x AAM 1344 front u-joint assemblies. For the 2006 model year, Dodge first lists a AAM built 1355 x 1355 shaft which was used up to 2009 and also a competitive 1350 x 1350 front shaft which would be found on some trucks through 2009 and all Ram 3500 4x4s through 2012 plus Ram 2500 4x4s until 2013.5. Late production 2013 Ram 2500 4x4s use a 1410 series ultra-heavy duty front CV shaft.
In addition to the factory shaft choices we have also been supplying greaseable replacement shafts in several variations for several years.
Before ordering parts, ID your driveshaft by u-joint size and slip yoke type. Most AAM 1355 and Spicer 1350 parts are generally interchangeable just by using different thickness snap rings to compensate for the 0.003" difference in overall installed u-joint width.
