Tech Note 1:Installation
Installation of this part requires machine shop and welding skills. Driveshaft fabrication can be done by any competent machinist, but best results are usually obtained from dedicated driveshaft specialists who can both assemble and balance the finished shaft. For information on driveshaft runout and balance, see my TM3000 Driveshaft and Universal Joint Service Manual orTM3000 Excerpt TSB3510 Vibration, Balance, Angles, Ratings, Run Out, Torque Specs.

Tech Note 2:Length
Cut your driveshaft tubing to a length that will have the slip yoke at the midpoint of it’s travel over the non-splined segment of the stub with the trucks weight on the front axle.

Tech Note 3:Matching Slip Yokes
Matching Slip Yokes Are:
QU40771 Original Equipment Replacement Yoke for 2000-2002 Dodge Ram with 1-1/16″ U-Joint Cups
QU40906 Replacement Slip Yoke for QU40895 2003-2008 Heavy Duty Dodge Front CV Driveshaft

Tech Note 4:Boot
Optional QU50233 Boot can be used with QU40845 orQU40906 Slip Yokes. The Boot can extend Slip Joint life because it does provide a water-tight seal for the upper end of the Slip Yoke, however you still have too periodically grease the slip yoke since the Slip Yoke vent can allow water to enter the lower end of the Slip Yoke.
