This for the 4x4 version, remove the caliper and brake assembly, remove the spindle nut (large bar or very large impact) remove the lower ball joint nut slowly with a jack under the ball joint and gently release the pressure on the suspension eventually lowering the jack. swing the wheel hub assembly a side and remove the axle. place the joint in a supported vise and remove the retainer clips that hold the u-joint stable in the joint housing, gently with a socket the same sixe of the u-joiny cap and a brass hammer pound the joint from the housing, install the new joint and reassembly in the reverse of disassembly. Be sure to torque the spindle not and replace all clips/kotter pins.
The cost to replace a universal joint on a 2500 Dodge truck will vary depending on if you replace it yourself or take it to a shop. The cost for the part can vary depending on location and can cost from about $12.00 to $20.00. At a shop, the cost will include the part plus labor.
Remove the rear U-Joint and be very careful not to loose caps or any needle bearings. Uses lock rings to hold it in place. Tape it together with duck tape. Now pull the drive shaft out of the transmission and remove the front U-Joint from the driveshaft and replace it. Reinstall in reverse order.
this link is for front wheel joint but maybe you can find something therehttp://www.pavementsucks.com/tech/hub.php

A worn out Universal joint in the rear driveshaft.
None
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
drive universal jount
They are on the ends of the drive shaft.
same way as you replace the front three. You may need to move 1 or 2 components to access them, and you will probably need an extention and universal joint, or wobble joint.
take it to a mechanic!
You have to replace the whole drive shaft.
