Detailed Description

Cardone 65-9107 is a new front drive shaft for the 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500. It is specified for trucks with a Dana Model 60 axle and NV241HD transfer case, and it is measured at 28 3/4 inches (730 mm) from the end of the flange to the center of the U-joint on the opposite side. The steel tube construction and 2.5-inch outer diameter support the driveline requirements of heavy-duty pickup use.

This part cross-references Dodge 52105278AB for the same application. If you are replacing a worn front prop shaft on a Dodge Ram 3500, 65-9107 provides an OE-style replacement built around the original dimensions and balance requirements.

What It Helps Address

• Driveline vibration from an out-of-balance front driveshaft
• Clunking or driveline noise related to worn shaft components
• Premature wear from dry slip yokes
• Fitment issues caused by incorrect shaft length or configuration
• Loss of smooth front driveline operation in Ram 3500 service use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500, front, with Dana Model 60 axle and NV241HD transfer case before ordering. Confirm the measurement method matches your original shaft: flange end to the center of the U-joint on the opposite side. Inspect related driveline components, including U-joints and mounting points, during replacement to ensure proper operation after installation.
