Tech Note:
Most 2003-2005
trucks use the smaller 1330 size u-joint which
has 1-1/16" diameter cups in the CV assembly.
Most newer truck models are equipped with the
larger 1350/55 size u-joints with 1-3/16" cups
in the CV heads.
You need to measure
your CV Joint cup size as shown in the photo on
the right to order the correct Kit.
|
You can easily
identify the correct joint for your truck by
measuring the diameter of any cup on either
universal joint in the CV head. |

AAM 1485 Series Joint Kit
| AAM driveshaft
u-joints are made with slightly smaller overall widths
then Spicer series joints. U-Joints made to Spicer
specifications are therefore not truly compatible with
AAM yokes! (See Next Section) |
|
Rear Universal Joint Kits for 2003-up for in 2500 and
3500 with Diesel or V10 engines. 2003 and newer
trucks come with two sizes of external snap ring
universal joints. Generally, trucks with 6
speed transmissions and 3 joint rear shafts use
1485 series AAM style u-joints. Most other
Dodge 2500 and 3500 trucks use 1415 joints. To
Identify
the joints your truck has, measure the diameter
of the u-joint cap. 1415 joints have 1.188"
(1-3/16") caps. AAM 1485 series joints have
1.375" (1-3/8") caps.
(AAM manufactured all the propeller shafts
in these trucks regardless of joint design.) |

AAM Universal Joints Have Ground Cups to Reduce
Lockup Dimension
 |
AAM Universal Joint Fit: Starting with
the 2003 model year, Dodge driveshafts are supplied by American
Axle Manufacturing (AAM) instead of Dana-Spicer. The front
shafts use Spicer type Constant Velocity Joints with Spicer
sized u-joints, but the rear shafts use AAM series joints that
have a .010" smaller snap ring lockup dimension when compared to
Spicer series universal joints. The reason for this is
unknown to us, but probably is intended to force you, the Dodge
truck owner, to buy your u-joints from the Dodge dealer.
Only one company besides AAM has released joints to fit AAM
yokes as of March 2007.
The bearing cups are ground down on AAM
joints to accommodate the smaller lockup dimension (red arrow).
While it is usually possible to force a Spicer series joint in a
AAM series yoke (after all, it is only a .010" difference), the
snap rings will be bowed out in the center and the joint will be
"tight". The tight fit increases heat generation and end
galling, either of which will lead to premature failures.
Interestingly, low quality, hot-forged universal joints,
typically sold by parts stores, are so loosely made that they
often fit the AAM yokes. However, we have never found this
type of joint to hold up for more than a few months behind
diesel and high power gas engines.
From our experience with AAM shafts, we have
reached several conclusions. We do not believe the original AAM
joint is as durable or long lasting as the original equipment
Spicer series u-joint used in 1994-2002 Ram trucks.
However, If a Spicer series universal joint is installed in an
AAM yoke, the tighter lockup dimension will often cause the
joint to fail prematurely. So, to prevent premature
universal joint failures we recommend you install a AAM
specific joint instead of a
Spicer sized u-joint. The Rear Universal Joint
Kits we offer for 2003-up Dodge include U-joints made to the AAM
lock-up dimension. |
