Heavy Duty Tandems

Innovative and state-of-the-art engineering gives our proprietary tandem rear axles unmatched performance and value. Depending on application, the tandem rear axles' precision cut gears, the larger differential and reduced driveline angle, as well as innovative features like the oil slinger and new seal design, make them the perfect choice for your trucks.

  • Up to 44,000 lbs Capacity
  • Up to 1850 lb-ft Torque
  • Up to 16 Qt Oil Capacity
  • Ring Gear Size 15.35 Inches

Performance

Improved Driveline Angle – Our proprietary tandem axles use an above-center position of the pinion gear. This design reduces the driveline angle between forward and rear axles and reduces driveline vibrations—increasing longevity and lowering maintenance costs.

Precision Cut Gears - The ring gear and pinion are precision cut using a proprietary dry power cutting process which ensures a consistent gear mesh, resulting in quieter and more efficient operation.

Oil Slinger

Oil Slinger

The oil slinger ensures full lubrication of the power divider - even at very low vehicle speeds. The oil slinger can be substituted for an oil pump in most on-highway applications.

Larger Differential

The elimination of the pinion head bearing provides additional space and allows the differential to be larger and stronger.

Integrated Ring Gear Design

The ring gear incorporates an integrated, one-piece differential case, for a more robust design.

Power Divider

Power Divider

A larger power divider means improved stability and reliability.

Above-Center-Pinion

The improved driveline angle from the above-center-pinion position of the rear-rear axle increases longevity, and lowers maintenance costs.

Warranty

Up to 5 years / 750,000 miles based on truck application. Call your Dealership for more detailed information.
