1-Piece Aluminum Drive Shaft for 03 - 09 Cummins
CAUTION: We are aware of numerous part numbers on various internet
forums regarding 1-Piece Drive Shafts. There are only 3 correct part numbers for these applications and many of the ones
we see posted on the forums are incorrect for the specific application. Use caution, as once this part is installed, it is
not returnable.
PRICE UPDATE (05 AUG 2010): Due to an increase
in price by the manufacturer, we have had to increase the price on the 1-Piece drive shafts, which is now reflected. We appologize
for this, but it was an increase beyond our control.
This is a factory Dodge aluminum drive shaft that replaces
the problematic 2-piece drive shaft found on 3rd Gen Quad Cab / Long Bed and Mega Cag / Short Bed trucks.
This
drive shaft is a direct replacement for the 2-piece unit found on these trucks from the factory. Simply remove the 4 bolts
securing the drive shaft flange to the pinion yoke, remove the 2 bolts holding the carrier bearing to the crossmember mount
and remove the original shaft. Once the original shaft is removed, simply remove the 4 bolts for the carrier bearing mount
and remove it. The new 1-piece shaft simply slides in and gets bolted to the pinion yoke.
The drive shaft
is MASSIVE; almost 6" in diameter and made of Alcoa Seamless 6061-T6 aluminum.
Not for use on 2WD trucks. The size of the drive
shaft WILL cause contact with the crossmember under certain load conditions in 2WD trucks.
For manual transmissions,
this will only fit trucks with the G56 transmission. Trucks with the NV5600 have reported that the drive shaft is approx 2"
too long and bottoms out on the slip yoke.
For 2003 - 2004 trucks, you MUST insure that you have the HO motor and
11.5" rear axle. These drive shafts WILL NOT work with the SO motor and the 10.5" rear end.
This item
is oversized and there is a $60 shipping charge per drive shaft that will be applied at checkout. Drive shafts going to Alaska
or Hawaii will cost $70 for shipping. Drive shafts going to Canada cost $90 to ship. Shipping is via FedEx 2nd Day.
Item #DD-OEM-0309-DS
