One Piece Driveshaft – Aluminum, 5″ OD, | TY4103-317 | 1410/1415 Series Dodge 2500/3500 4WD Truck FY4102-370-TY4103-317

A driveshaft failure on a 2003 - 2013 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 shouldn't sideline a project or a workhorse. The 5A1415-B_40055527 aluminum driveshaft is pre-built, pre-balanced, and sized for a direct bolt-in installation. Series 1410/1415 end connections match the factory yoke geometry, while the 5" OD tube handles the torque demands of the original powertrain -- and beyond.

Compatibility & Application

The 5A1415-B_40055527 is designed specifically for the 2003 - 2013 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with 4WD drivetrain. Before ordering, confirm that your vehicle's transmission output yoke and rear axle pinion yoke both specify Series 1410/1415 U-joint geometry. This application covers the Custom body configuration.

• Confirm year, model, and cab/bed or wheelbase against the product listing
• Check both yoke series before ordering to avoid mismatch
• Inspect carrier bearing and crossmember condition if the vehicle had previous vibration issues

Why Aluminum?

Aluminum driveshafts like the 5A1415-B_40055527 offer measurable benefits over steel replacements in street and light-performance applications. Reduced rotating weight decreases drivetrain inertia, improving acceleration response and reducing stress on transmission output and axle pinion bearings. The 5" OD OD provides ample torsional stiffness for the 1410/1415 joint series torque rating, while maintaining the clearances required by the factory undercarriage.

• Lower unsprung rotational mass vs. steel OEM shaft
• Precision dynamic balance reduces NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
• Corrosion-resistant surface -- no annual undercoating required
• Direct bolt-in: no transmission crossmember or tunnel modification

Installation Overview

Installing the 5A1415-B_40055527 requires standard hand tools and a floor jack. Support the rear axle independently before removing the factory shaft. Match-mark the rear yoke before removal so the new shaft can be phased identically. Torque all flange bolts or U-bolt nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specification and re-check after the first 50 miles.
