Universal joint front drive shaft

[Michaelhb439]

I have a 2017 ram 1500 3.6 l 8 speed auto 845RE transmission. I recently replaced the u joints on my rear drive shaft. Finding those parts were a breeze. I’m now looking to replace the u joint on my front drive shaft closest to the front diff, I can’t find the correct size U-joint anywhere. I keep getting different sizes when I look it up online. Am I over thinking this? I am looking for some guidance if anyone knows the correct U joint I need to replace the one at my front drive shaft? A part number or size/name would be great.

The front u-joints might be "staked" in. It is possible to grind them out and replace them. I would take it down to a drive train shop and see if they can do it. Otherwise, you may have to replace the driveshaft with an aftermarket one that has replaceable u-joints.
