Cardone 65-1044 Drive Shaft - Rear

Remanufactured Rear Driveshaft

Cardone 65-1044 is a remanufactured rear driveshaft / prop shaft built for direct replacement in select Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty applications. It is engineered for smooth driveline operation, with dynamic balancing and tested critical components to help maintain consistent performance at speed.

This remanufactured driveshaft is designed for 2001-2006 Chevrolet Suburban 2500, 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500, and 2001-2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500 rear applications. The Cardone remanufactured driveshaft / prop shaft line focuses on restoring driveline function while incorporating design improvements where applicable.

Key Features

• Part number: 65-1044
• Remanufactured steel driveshaft for rear position applications
• Slip yoke end and universal joint end configuration
• Pre-greased with grease fitting included
• Universal joints included; CV joints not included
• 100% dynamically balanced for reduced vibration

Detailed Description

Cardone remanufactured prop shafts are processed with strict quality controls to deliver steady driveline performance. For this application, the shaft uses steel construction, a 3.51 in. (89 mm) shaft diameter, and a 60.75 in. compressed length. The slip yoke and universal joint setup matches the listed rear driveline configuration for the Chevrolet Avalanche 2500, Chevrolet Suburban 2500, and GMC Yukon XL 2500. If you are replacing a worn rear driveshaft on a 2001-2006 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 or a 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500, Cardone 65-1044 provides a remanufactured OE-style solution built around driveline balance and joint function.

This part cross-references 15200025 and 15713683 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration at highway speeds
• Clunking or noise from worn universal joints
• Excess play from a damaged slip yoke assembly
• Rough rear driveline operation under load
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear application, compressed length, and end configuration before installation. Inspect the mating yoke, rear differential flange area, and related driveline components for wear before fitting the replacement shaft. Because this shaft is phased and dynamically balanced, correct orientation during installation is important for proper driveline operation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured driveshafts are built using controlled remanufacturing processes, tested critical components, and 100% dynamic balancing to support vibration-free operation across driving conditions. The design review process may include upgrades over the original part where applicable.
