Any body here know if all three (long box) are the same part number?
2016 Ram 3500.

How many miles on the Ram?

Cummins I’d bet yours a grazeable.
“Shudder” I do note some in 1-2 gear if I put foot into it too hard when pulling 14,000 trailer.
It is annoying.

The main advantage is zero launch shudder. I mean it's smoooth.
I've heard the possible down side of any 1 pc is they can have a slight vibration at very high speeds - maybe 80+, but newer materials (Alco alum.) and manufacturing capabilities minimize that (and I wouldn't care if it did). Mine is an OEM shaft that would have come on a 2006 RAM. It had to be shortened 1.5" to fit my application.
It also has bigger U-joints than the 2-pc and the tube itself is monsterous, 5 or 6" in dia.
I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Bummer, both of my 98 RAM’s have over 400k on the OE u joints.

Thanks. What are the pros and cons of going to a one piece?

From what I can see at Rock Auto, they are all he same PN. That's how my 03 was before going to a 1 piece DS.

2016 and worn out universal joints? How many miles?
