They both are. The driveshaft goes to a differential (the power divider), which supplies power equally to both axles.
A tandem truck usually refers to the amount of axles on the trailer or tractor. A single drive axle on a tractor would be referred to as a single, or the same for one axle on the trailer. I have seen it referred to the amount of tires on the end of an axle. When there are two tires on the end of the axle, that would be referred to as a dual, not a tandem.
Could be either. You need to have someone who knows about rear axles look at it.
Rear wheel drive...connects the transmission to the rear end. Transfers power from the motor to the rear axle. Front wheel drive... connects the transmission to each front axle. Usually refered to as CV or drive axle. Same purpose. The drive shaft contains the rod that takes energy from the engine and transmits it to the drive wheels of a car.
There are no set dimensions. The frame length is ordered to customer specifications, as is the drivetrain, axles, rear end gears, etc.
You can look on the rear axle carrier housing at the metal tag to know what type of rear end is in a 2004 Ram 1500, two-wheel drive.
Rear wheel drive cars, there is one on each end of the driveshaft. 4 wheel drive has a short shaft that runs to the front axle, there is one on each end of that shaft. and each front axle has one on the end behind the wheel.
This is the part of a rear end or front wheel drive that turns the wheels when you press on the gas also know as the drive train
If your vehicle has 4 wheel drive, then yes, it has a differential in the front axle.
the axle is a shaft that goes into your rear end from one side with the wheel bolts on it and the other connecting into you rear end differential gears.
what is rear end axle ratio
If it is a rear wheel drive vehicle it is either low oil in the rear end or an axle bearing. On a front wheel drive vehicle it is probably a bearing.
That's going to depend on the dump truck's configuration. It could be a single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad axle, quint axle, centipede, frameless end dump, framed end dump, etc.
