Ive been to 3 different auto parts places and I cant find a u-joint for the pinion side front driveshaft. This is driving me nuts. I measure 29.5mm across the cap and every joint I look at has different measurements! argh!
Anyone got a link for someplace online that would have the right part? Its for the 8800lb GVWR axles, standard cab 4x4.
$!@#!@# Dodge for having 3 different sizes for each u-joint. What the heck is with that??

 

The front u-joint in the front shaft with inside clips is Spicer/Dana PN 53147X.
Call a local heavy driveline shop and give them this PN.

I just replaced that same joint about a week ago. Ran out to the truck to get the box, it's a Precision 316 from Napa. Hope this helps.

Any idea what the napa part was?
Im headed over to my trans builder I think.. gonna beg him to sell me one since I cant find the right one anywhere else in the area =(

 

I would go with Spicer/Dana Joints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know their is a couple pullers on here that love them store bought joints not! Kidding aside they will work and are ok joints but I would go Spicer/Dana IMO!

Parts places like napa wont have those, its all gonna be stuff like neapco and pdq and whatnot.
Any links to sites that have dana spicer joints?

 

Call a local big rig dealer and ask for a local driveline shop that builds and repairs driveshafts. The dealer might also be able to order these ask them if they deal with Dana/Spicer and give them the P/N. Their has to be a dealer somewhere close to you, closer than ohio.
