Product Details

Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft 65-9874 is part of the Cardone driveline line, which focuses on remanufactured prop shafts engineered from tested materials and processes. This front drive shaft is measured from the center of the U-joint to the end of the flange on the opposite side, and it is built for 1994-1995 Dodge Ram 2500 front and 1994-1995 Dodge Ram 3500 front applications with the 32-1/4 in. driveshaft and NV241HD transfer case. For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 driveline service, Cardone 65-9874 provides an OE-style replacement that supports smooth power transfer and reduced vibration.

What It Helps Address

  • Driveline vibration at road speed
  • Worn or damaged front prop shaft assembly
  • Noise caused by imbalance in the shaft assembly
  • Premature slip yoke wear
  • Loss of smooth power delivery through the transfer case and front driveline

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle uses the NV241HD transfer case and the 32-1/4 in. front driveshaft configuration before ordering. Measurement is taken from the center of the U-joint to the end of the flange on the opposite side, so confirm the existing shaft length and mounting style against the original unit. This part cross-references common OE-style driveline replacement applications for the same vehicle setup.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this drive shaft to OE dimensions and balances each unit dynamically for consistent operation. The brand’s driveline engineering process is focused on fit, balance, and durability for service replacement use.
