How to remove and install a driveshaft on Dodge Ram 1500?

To replace the rear driveshaft, lift the vehicle and mark the driveshaft's position. Remove the bolts securing the driveshaft to the differential pinion flange. Pry the universal joint away and lower the driveshaft. If it's a one-piece, slide it out of the transmission housing; if it's a two-piece, mark the center support bearing's position, unbolt it, and slide the front end out. Cover the extension housing with a plastic bag. To install, remove the bag, clean the area, and inspect the oil seal and center support bearing. Insert the driveshaft into the housing, raise it into position, and check alignment marks. If it's a two-piece, loosely bolt the center support bearing. Raise the rear end, align marks, remove tape from bearing caps, and install clamps and fasteners. For 4WD models, mark the driveshaft's position, remove bolts and straps, make alignment marks, unbolt the flange, and remove the driveshaft.

What is the purpose and maintenance of a driveshaft on Dodge Ram 1500?

A driveshaft transmits power between the transmission and the differential(s), with universal joints allowing operation at different angles. Three types of universal joints are used: single-cardan, double-cardan and constant velocity. Some models have a two-piece driveshaft connected at a center support bearing. The driveshaft can alter its length during vehicle operation, with an oil seal preventing fluid leakage. If leakage is evident, replace the extension housing oil seal. Factory U-joints are lubricated for life and must be replaced if issues arise. The driveshaft is a balanced unit and should be kept clean and free from accumulation. It should be reinstalled in the same position to maintain balance. Driveshaft problems are usually indicated by noise or vibration while driving.

How to raise and support a Dodge Ram 1500 securely on jack stands and clean the grease fitting on the front driveshaft?

Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Clean the grease fitting on the front driveshaft with a rag. Use a conventional grease gun to apply sufficient lubricant to the fitting, but avoid applying so much that an excessive amount comes out. Wipe any extra grease and dirt from the area with a rag.

Dodge Ram 1500 Drive Shaft

The Operating Principle of the Drive Shaft in Dodge Ram 1500 cars is geared towards the distribution of mechanical power and torque from the engine or the transmission to the drive wheels. This component is important in order to guarantee that power gets to the rear axle which a characteristic of the front-engine, rear-wheel drive as is the case with these trucks. Dodge Ram 1500 models of different years have used a one-piece Drive Shaft, a two-piece driveshaft, and a slip-in-tube driveshaft. Both are designed to accommodate torsion and sheer stress and both are as slender as possible to minimize inertia. The flexible coupling with splined joint enables the variations in direction and interval to meet the usage of the vehicle. All wheel and four wheel drive systems use multiple driveshafts and in between the transfer cases control the power distribution between the front and rear axles.
