{"product_id":"5-inch-od-driveshaft-with-1485-series-u-joint","title":"5-Inch OD Driveshaft with 1485 Series U-Joint","description":"The Action Machine Inc. one-piece driveshaft is engineered as a heavy-duty upgrade for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD trucks manufactured between 2003 and 2013. This driveshaft can be used to upgrade existing one-piece aluminum shafts or convert two-piece steel shafts into a robust single-piece unit, effectively eliminating common issues like carrier bearing failures and vibrations that plague OEM setups.\n\nConstructed from premium Arconic aluminum seamless tubing with a 5-inch outer diameter and a substantial 0.125-inch wall thickness, this driveshaft is rated for over 7,000 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for daily driving, heavy towing, and pulling applications. It utilizes a premium, non-greasable American Axle 1485 series U-joint with cold-forged, solid cross construction for maximum durability, surpassing the strength of lesser quality greaseable or conversion U-joints.\n\nHowever, due to the increased 5-inch tube diameter compared to the OEM 3.5-inch tube, users should check for potential clearance issues with the carrier bearing cross member and ensure it does not require removal. The driveshaft comes fully assembled, balanced, and includes a new transfer case slip yoke and flange, ready for direct replacement. Customers will need to provide their driveshaft length measurement (from the transfer case seal to the differential flange face) to ensure a precise fit; custom length options are available up to 93.5 inches seal to flat.","brand":"Action Machine Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686760214840,"sku":"5A1485-B_40055528_Dodge","price":1237.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661654989.webp?v=1784876414","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/5-inch-od-driveshaft-with-1485-series-u-joint","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
