Detailed Description

This Dorman universal joint strap kit is engineered to restore secure attachment at the driveshaft and universal joint connection point. The steel strap is sized at 2.12 inches long and 0.635 inches wide, and the application list includes vehicles with Dana axle and 1410 series requirements, along with heavy-duty Chevrolet and GMC truck platforms. If you are servicing a Chevrolet Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra 3500, or Dodge Ram 2500, 81019 provides a direct replacement path for the original strap-style hardware used in those driveline assemblies.

This part cross-references 14046907 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Loose or damaged universal joint strap retention
• Driveline vibration caused by worn strap hardware
• Noise from an unsecured universal joint connection
• Service issues after universal joint replacement
• Corrosion or fatigue in original strap components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle, series, and position before ordering, since fitment varies by model, year, and driveline configuration. Confirm the bearing cap and bolt-hole spacing requirements listed for your application, especially on older Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty trucks and Dodge Dana axle vehicles. Use the vehicle-specific fitment notes to match front, rear, or N/A applications exactly.
