Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:966-440
Dorman 966-442 rear drive shaft for the 2013 Ram 2500 carries engine torque from the transmission to the rear axle. This Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft is a two-piece steel assembly with a slip yoke at one end.
A worn or failing drive shaft can show up as vibration at speed, a clunk when shifting or accelerating, or a shudder pulling away. Before you replace it, rule out tire and wheel balance and worn rear axle parts, since they can also cause vibration. The 2013 Ram 2500 takes one, and this listing is one shaft.
This 2013 Ram 2500 drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for that vehicle's rear shaft.
