Front driveshaft for 2002-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD pickups with the automatic. Replaces Mopar 52105990AA/AB, 52123021AA-AC, Dorman 938-150.
This is a complete front driveshaft assembly for the third-generation Dodge Ram 1500 4WD. It cross-references to Dorman 938-150 and 65-9198, and replaces Mopar 52105990AA, 52105990AB, 52123021AA, 52123021AB and 52123021AC.
Listed fitment: 2002-2006 Ram 1500 regular cab, 2002-2005 Ram 1500 crew cab and 2006 extended/crew cab pickups, 4WD with an automatic transmission. Manual-transmission trucks and the Ram 2500/3500 use different shafts.
The shaft is steel with the slip section greased from the factory. On these trucks the front shaft is the usual suspect for a clunk when the transfer case is shifted into 4WD, a vibration that only shows up in 4HI, or grease slung around the front of the transfer case once the joint boot tears. If the joint has play or the boot is split, replacing the whole shaft is usually quicker and cheaper than rebuilding it.
Install: put the transfer case in neutral, mark both flanges, remove the bolts at the front axle and the transfer case, and drop the old shaft out. Fit the new shaft in the same orientation, torque the bolts to factory spec, and road test in 2WD and 4HI.
