The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-2102F is a remanufactured axle assembly designed for GM 7.5" differentials. This unit is specifically engineered to fit 1998-2003 S10 and Sonoma models equipped with 2WD, without the sport package, and featuring the 3rd shock option. It comes with a 3.42 gear ratio and an open differential configuration. Every component of this axle assembly is meticulously inspected and refurbished to ensure reliability and performance. The process includes a 100% inspection of all internal parts, such as ring and pinion gears, internal gears, clutches, and carriers. Furthermore, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced as part of the remanufacturing process. The housing undergoes rigorous testing for surface wear and cracks, and its tubes are straightened to meet OEM specifications. Zumbrota Drivetrain employs a comprehensive cleaning process, utilizing hydro blasting and rinsing to restore the housing to its original OEM finish. To guarantee precision setup and longevity, the correct rolling torque is established using precise inch-pound measurements. Technical notes specify that this assembly has a 3.42 ratio and a GM 7.6-inch ring gear. It includes a welded-on 3rd shock mount and corresponds to ratio option GU6. It is an open differential (Without Posi Traction) and does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts, which must be sourced separately.
