8.8" Rear Axle Assembly w/ 3.08 Posi Limited Slip

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-2038A-P is a remanufactured axle assembly specifically designed for the 2000 Ford F-150 equipped with the 8.8-inch rear end, a 3.08 gear ratio, rear drum brakes, and a Posi Limited Slip Differential. Each axle assembly undergoes a rigorous inspection process to ensure straightness, check for cracks, and assess surface wear. Internal components such as ring and pinions, internal gears, and clutches are thoroughly inspected and tested. To guarantee longevity and performance, all bearings and seals are replaced, and gears are meticulously examined for optimal tooth contact patterns and correct rolling torque, with precise setup achieved through inch-pound measurements. The assembly also ensures correct gear backlash is set for proper lubrication and quiet operation, and axle tubes are verified for OEM standards of straightness. Zumbrota employs a specialized remanufacturing process that includes a hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting for internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning procedure. This axle assembly features an 8.8-inch ring gear and is Ford-built. Buyers are advised to check the tag on their existing differential to ensure compatibility with the 'Check Tag' designation. This unit is specifically designed for the 2000 Ford F-150. It features rear drum brakes and a Posi Traction limited-slip differential. Please note that the Hollander number for this unit is 435-238A-P. Compatibility with specific truck configurations, such as rear axle type and brake system, should be confirmed by the end-user.
