drive shaft too short??
i have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 4 door short bed 4x4.
i was replacing the u joints and noticed the drive shaft was sticking out about 2 inches from the back of the trans. it looks like the previous owner put a drive shaft from a junk yard on the truck and its too short. also the u joints i got from the auto store didn't even come close to fitting. the u joints i found that worked were much smaller. i am looking into buying a camper and i'm thinking the drive shaft wont hold up. does anyone know the correct size drive shaft that is supposed to be on my truck??
