Ram 3500 Release Bearing

The Ram 3500 Release Bearing provides proper clutch disengagement so that the torque from the engine stops through shifts. In every Ram 3500 clutch assembly, the Release Bearing is the integral link between pedal movement and pressure plate movement, allowing for smooth engagement when the pedal is released. The small, yet robust Release Bearing slides along the hollow shaft under either hydraulic or cable control. When the pedal goes down, it presses on the pressure plate springs so that power flow stops, allowing you to slip into the next gear without grinding. Over multiple generations, Ram 3500 trucks have employed two main designs: a fork actuated Release Bearing and a concentric slave cylinder that envelopes the transmission input shaft. The concentric unit serves to combine the hydraulic cylinder and Release Bearing into a single sealed part, thereby reducing the number of parts and lowering noise. The fork version achieves the same result with a more easily serviceable installation on older Ram 3500 models.
