Constant Velocity Front Driveshaft Parts for 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Trucks
Driveshaft Identification
Before ordering replacement parts, you should always verify that the parts being ordered will match the shaft in your truck. Besides the model year parts changes detailed below as the part style changes are not always exactly the same as the model year change. It is not really unusual to find some of these older Dodge 4x4s have been modified with different make/size front driveshafts. We have seen a few 1994-2001 trucks with replacement Saginaw CV shafts (last used by Dodge in 1993), larger size upgrade shafts especially in lifted, high horsepower trucks, and even some trucks with just single Cardan front shafts (no CV). While chances are your truck has all the factory parts, make sure before ordering!

CV Joint: For the 1994 to 2001 model year Ram 1500 4x4 trucks, Dodge used 1330 series Double Cardan Constant Velocity (CV) front driveshafts. These shafts have a half-round flange type Spicer style Double Cardan CV joint with 1-1/16" diameter u-joint cups at the transfer case end.  
Slip Yokes: Three different slip joints were used depending upon the production date. 1994 to 1998 trucks had a fine spline with a u-joint with internal c-clips. 1999 used a fine spline yoke with a special u-joint using external snap rings in the slip yoke and internal C-clips for the pinion yoke. 2000-2001 used a joint with external snap rings in the slip yoke. No snap ring was used at the pinion yoke as side thrust is controlled by tabs cast into the pinion yoke. Yoke style changes are not always exactly the same as the model year change so some overlap may be encountered in 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 model years.  
Slip Joints Splines: Two different slip joint splines protected by rubber boots were used depending upon the production date. 1994 to 1998 trucks plus most if not all 1999 models would have a 1-9/32" fine spline yoke and stub. A few 1999, almost all 2000, and all 2001 shafts were built with an 1-3/8" coarse spline slip joint. Yoke style changes are not always exactly the same as the model year change so some overlap may be encountered in 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 model years.  
Front U-Joints: For the 1994 to 2001 model years, Dodge used 3 different front universal joints to connect the driveshaft to the front axle. 1994-1998 used a Detrit Universal 7290 series front joint that has 4 internal C-Clips to secure the u-joint cups in place. 1999 was a transition year that used a unique slip yoke and front universal joint. The model year changes are not nessacrily absolute as the U.S. and Mexican factories had slighly different inventories and build schedules. For example: a late production 1999 may have the 2000 joint and an early 2000 might have the 1999 joint.

Tools
Most CV and universal joint service is done using makeshift tools and hammer on the parts until something gives service methods. Driveshaft parts and universal joints are incredibly precise components that can be easily damaged by such slam-bang work. There is a better way to perform driveshaft service using application specific press tooling and approved service procedures. Yeah, I know the Manuals and Tools are expensive, but when you consider that a poorly installed front u-joint blowing out as you tool down the Interstate at 75 is going to cause an expensive and dangerous mess. I have witnessed several driveshaft failures in vehicles driving ahead of me during my travels and I can tell you a 3' long front driveshaft can do a heck of a lot of damage as it whips around jamming into the road, whacking the transmission, and smashing the floor!
