I have a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 5.2 4x4 SLT quad cab short bed. I was wondering:

1. How many u joints do I have in total?
2. I know the fronts are 5-760x but what are the drive shaft joints?
Thanks for the help guys love this forum!

 

Two on the front axle, three in the front driveshaft, and either two, or three, in the rear driveshaft, depending on if it's one piece, or two-piece.

 

Ok would you know the answer to my second question as well possibly.

 

I just ask the guy at the parts store, and he hands me what I want. Usually......

 

I have the answer written in my Chilton's but its lost since I moved.

They're all listed here:

Thanks for the quick responses guys just one more question and I'll quit buggin y'all I have seven u joints on my truck I can find six of them on Rockauto and on partsgeek I'm just missing the middle joint on the front driveshaft would all three be the same joint or is it a different type?

 

The two in the double-cardan joint (at the t-case) are the same. The one at the very front of the shaft is different. (I think.)

 

That's what I figured thanks for the help!

 

On Rockauto the last two possible choices say I can use this joint for front driveshaft at transfercase and at front axle no use for the middle joint though that's why Im confused.

 

So they seem to think that all three joints in the front driveshaft are the same? along with the joints in the rear shaft????? That seems unlikely...... but, stranger things have happened.

Think I would want to verify that from another source as well.
