Show original supplier description
The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1997B-P is a remanufactured axle assembly engineered for Chrysler 8.25-inch rear ends, specifically for 2000-2002 Dakota 4x4 models with a 3.92 gear ratio and Posi Limited Slip Differential. Zumbrota Drivetrain rebuilds these axle assemblies to exacting standards, ensuring precision and longevity. The process involves a comprehensive inspection of the housing for straightness, cracks, and wear, along with rigorous testing of all internal components, including gears, clutches, and carriers. To guarantee performance and durability, all bearings and seals are replaced, and the gears are meticulously inspected for proper tooth contact patterns and rolling torque. Backlash is precisely set for optimal lubrication and quiet operation. The housing itself is inspected to meet OEM straightness standards. Zumbrota utilizes an exclusive cleaning procedure that includes hydro-blast rinsing and sandblasting, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning, setting a benchmark for remanufactured axle assemblies. This particular assembly features an 8.25-inch ring gear, a 3.92 gear ratio, a 10-bolt round cover, and a Posi Traction limited-slip differential. The axle type is semi-floating, and while the cover is included, the differential fluid is not. This assembly is designed for specific applications, fitting 2000-2002 Dakota 4x4 models.
