Keep power flowing to the rear axle of your heavy-duty truck with the Dorman drive shaft 946-516, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly that arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced for a fast, hassle-free installation. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2010 Dodge RAM 4500 and 5500, plus the 2011-2018 RAM 4500 and 5500 (all engines) — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

  • DOM seamless steel tubing: drawn over mandrel for superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and greater torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
  • Ready to install: ships fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced, so it drops in without extra prep.
  • All-new construction: built in the USA with 100% new — not remanufactured — tubing, yokes and U-joints.
  • Serviceable and adjustable: greaseable joints and a slip yoke with adjustable overall length.

Part specs measure a 4-inch shaft diameter, a 0.095-inch wall thickness, and a 109.87-inch overall length. The axle nut and CV joints are not included. Made in the United States, this assembly ships in protective foam-in-place packaging to arrive in install-ready condition.
