Good morning!

Having some trouble figuring out which u-joints i need for my double cardan joint on the front driveshaft. I have the spicer 5-795x picked out for the diff end, but cannot figure out which I need for the double cardan. Apparently there are two different sizes? Can someone please shed some light on this for me? I have been google searching etc for a couple hours and my head is spinning with part numbers.

BTW 2004 Ram 3500 SRW H.O. CTD 4x4 Auto

I am rebuilding sloppy front end, so far have the following in my cart
Dynatrac BJs
Spicer 5006813 for axle shafts
SKF wheel hubs (oe manufacturer I'm told)
Yukon Pinion seal & nut
CV ball kit for front driveshaft
Spicer 5-795x

Also OTC 8031 bj press

and already have the T-link steering update sitting in the garage with new stabilizer, pitman arm, and nuts.

Anything I am forgetting before I order parts?

TIA

 

Hi, First post here.

The Cardan joints on your front shaft are 2-4800 (Neapco), 5-213X (Spicer greaseable) or 5-790X (Spicer no maintenance) 1330 u-joints.

Edit-- I just saw where even Neapco says there are two different u-joints used on that year. The numbers above are for the 1.063" cap, the larger joint is below.

1350 series with the 1.188 cap are 2-0052 (Neapco), 5-178X (Spicer greaseable), 5-799X (Spicer no maintenance).
