I put one in my 07 along with a electric fan kit and it was a substantial difference in acceleration. Just felt like a lighter truck. I used the 08+ model aluminum drive shaft.

I thought mu 2012 truck would have a aluminum shaft but it dosent. I cant believe it and Im disappointed. I cant move over the shaft from my 07 because of the cab being longer the shaft will be too short. I could take it to a shop and get them to extend it and balance it but thats more money.

Is there a new shaft solution? What are people doing?

Mine came stock with a steel one. I'm leaving it. Much more durable. I just had to fully paint it, has zilch for paint protection.

Maybe more durable but if an aluminum shaft didn't brake towing heavy and racing my 600+ HP 2007 truck then they are strong enough. As stated above, the aluminum shaft and electric fan on my 2007 made a very noticeable difference and Im looking to do the same for my 2012

Go to doghouse diesels website, they can make you a custom driveshaft.

dodge makes a one piece alm rear drive shaft for our trucks. some get it from factory others get two piece steel for no apparent reason. anyway i will upgrading as well and found dodge is selling it for about 350 at most good dealers.

I'm not sure about that. Your saying that dodge has an aluminium shaft for 2010+ trucks? I know they do for the 2009 back trucks. Got a part number?

I take it you have a mega cab? I know both my 11 and 11.5 crew cabs had alum shafts.

2010 CC long bed. 2 piece steel drive shaft. keeps taking out u joints. ordered a long azz one piece 5" aluminum driveshaft today for $750

I'm interested in an aluminum shaft also. There is a part number for a 2010(I believe) but nothing for 11-12. The wheelbase didn't change.

 

[LovesRam]

I have a long bed cc 2012. I'm believe there isn't one from Dodge. It's a custom job right?

 

[MOJO]

My 12 Crew Cab Short bed has an aluminum shaft. Wonder if it has to do with Long and short beds? I will ask my Buddy at the Dealer and see.

My 12 mega has the 2 piece steel, an aluminum one would be nice.

 

[kylant]

there are several 1 piece shafts available, not sure the difference between them.:confused013:

my '11 mega has a 2 piece steel, i looked at an '11 mega identical to mine, but with hemi... it had 1 piece alum.

my VIN actually shows 2 shafts available for it, the 2 piece and the alum 1 piece. the 1 piece part number is different than the 1 piece part number from the hemi truck vin I gave to the parts guy.

The 1 piece for my truck is listed at $500 something. I will be getting it when I do my other suspension stuff

 

[kylant]

i just confirmed the part number and availability for mine.

the g**damn price went up over $300:bang head:

the list price was $517, now it is $854

I should have bought it when I first looked at them:buttock: don't know if ill do it now.

the vender mentioned above has them for cheaper, and can make custom ones for cheaper

My 2011 CCSB has one piece aluminum
