u-joint
This is from Quad 4X4's website "Front U-Joints: For the 1994 to 2002 model years, Dodge used 3 different front universal joints to connect the driveshaft to the front axle. 1994-1998 used a Detroit Universal 7290 series front joint (TK40722, QU40775) that has 4 internal C-Clips to secure the u-joint cups in place. 1999 was a transition year that used a front universal joint with 2 external Snap Rings and 2 Internal C-Clips (TK40804, QU40764). 2000 to 2002 model year trucks have shafts with the same external snap ring u-joint used in the CV head (TK40721, QU40774). The model year changes are not necessarily absolute as the U.S. and Mexican factories had slightly different inventories and build schedules. For example: a late production 1998 may have the 1999 joint and an early 1999 might have the 1998 joint. "
Looks like to be sure you need to identify if you have an early or late
