Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1600189 Billet Input Shaft is engineered to improve the strength and durability of the 68RFE automatic transmission in 2007.5–2018 Dodge Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks. Made from high-grade 300M billet steel, this shaft is designed to withstand the shock and stress associated with heavy loads, towing, and high-horsepower performance applications.
Stock input shafts can be a weak link under demanding conditions. The BD Diesel billet shaft provides enhanced fatigue resistance, improved shock handling, and stronger performance margins—making it ideal for trucks with lifted performance envelopes, frequent towing duty, or aggressive driver demands.
