2626-41 – Weld Yokes – 7260 Series – Butt Dia 3.844″ – Tube Dia Wall 4.000X0.083

The 7260 series is Chrysler/Mopar's primary heavy light-truck weld yoke specification, comparable in capacity to the GM 7290 but using a different U-joint cap design that is dimensionally incompatible with the 7290. The 7260 joint uses a 1.125" cap diameter identical to the 7290 in OD, but the cap length and internal geometry differ -- do not assume 7290 and 7260 joints are interchangeable based on cap OD alone. Verify the correct joint series for your application before purchasing the joint.

• 7260 series -- Chrysler/Mopar heavy truck application; different U-joint from 7290 series despite shared cap OD
• 4.000" x 0.083" tube -- same tube spec as 2926-41 (GM 7290 variant); both use 3.844" butt diameter
• 2.000" CL-to-weld -- identical to the 7290 variant; consistent weld geometry across series at this tube size
• Confirm your vehicle is Chrysler/Mopar specification before using 7260 components -- mixing 7260 and 7290 joints with wrong-series yokes causes immediate cap seat failure
• Match with a 7260-series end yoke at the pinion for consistent series capacity through the assembly

Tip: 7260 yokes from Chrysler production vehicles are typically unmarked -- the series number was not stamped on OEM production components. Identify by measuring the cap bore: a clean, freshly-machined bore at 1.125" on an unmounted yoke ear confirms the cap size, but you still need to verify series (7260 vs 7290) by cross-referencing the OEM part number from the vehicle service manual.
