Unless he's replaced the video, the guy is installing a Dorman C3500 shaft, not a Jeep shaft. Dorman # 425-177.
The only application Dorman shows is '88--'02 C3500. No K-series, no 1500s or 2500s.
IF (big IF) it actually works in the 1500 and 2500s, C and K, it'd be a real bonus. Too bad it's Chinese.
There is a difference in the later (95-up?) steering columns, having an extra joint in them, which may or may not be due to airbags. Perhaps the 3500s didn't get airbags, so they used the older-style column? I don't know.
I thought 97 was the year for the change in shaft. Either way, my 97 3500 has the same column as my 98, but it has the larger 95-97 airbag style wheel with a airbagless insert.
