Man that sucks. I had as similar situation. I have bils at 2.1 and zone uca's. I was attempting to pull out a truck stuck in the sand in 4 low when my passenger side cv blew up. I washed all the sand off and took it to my dealer where they gave me no grief what so ever and had it fixed under warranty. I have a 2014. I also researched the core high angle cv but from what i found they were about $800 if I remember right.

Did you ever get this fixed? My 2013 has excessive play on the intermediate shaft. Even with a new cv axle its bad. Chrysler says I have to buy the whole assy. Also cannot find a used part. I'm sure the thing can come apart regardless of what they say.

Truck is only leveled on bilseins but I do like the idea of the high angle core half shafts.

Still looking for information in the axle that come out of the housing connecting differential to CVS on passenger side.

Apprently every truck 2012 and up will have this issue and hopefully we can get someone to make an aftermarket unit as a pose to buying a hole new housing.

So this is only an issue with 2012 and up, or all 4th gen Dodge's?

I don't think i have any issues truck drives straight and it moves forward/backwards in 4x4, hopefully good enough.. :), but how do you know when this piece goes bad ?, early symptoms-issues? or when it goes bad the the axel/cv binds and you're pretty much screwed ?

Good news fellas. A transmission shop in Nova Scotia, Canada has designed a replacement shaft for the passenger side on the 2012+ rams.

In the US you can try Blatner's Auto (716) 213-0466. He is located in North Tonawanda, NY. Ask for Robb. He bought the part for my truck from Rick Rood's Transmission and installed it at the end of December 2019. He is/was looking to distribute the item to US customers. You can call to see if he has any in stock.

This is exactly what I need to fix mine! The passenger side CV axle is wearing out but the driver side is absolutely solid. Sounds like Rick Rood saved the day for us 4th Gen Ram owners.


Yup . Did mine last summer. Installed Cardone HD axles as well.
