If you're looking to breathe new life into your 2000 Ford F-150, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly is a solid choice. I've had my hands on these assemblies, and I can tell you, they’re built with a level of care that you don’t always see in the aftermarket world. Each axle assembly is meticulously rebuilt to meet high standards of precision and reliability, so you know you’re getting something that won’t let you down on the road—or off it.

Every single unit goes through a rigorous inspection process. They check for straightness, cracks, and any surface wear. It’s not just a quick glance, either; they really dig into the details. All the internal components, like the ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, are fully inspected and tested. Trust me, you want to know that those parts are in top shape before you hit the trails or the worksite.

What’s more, Zumbrota replaces all bearings and seals, which is crucial for keeping everything running smoothly. They don’t skimp on the gears either; they check them for optimal tooth contact patterns and set the correct rolling torque using inch-pound measurements. This kind of precision setup means you’ll get longevity out of your axle, which is what we all want, right? And let’s not forget about the gear backlash—properly set to ensure smooth lubrication and quiet operation. No one likes a noisy ride.

The axle tubes? They’re inspected to ensure they meet OEM standards for straightness. You don’t want to be dealing with any misalignments down the road. Plus, Zumbrota has a unique cleaning process that includes hydro-blasting and sandblasting, followed by a proprietary deep-cleaning method. This brings everything back to that fresh OEM finish, which is something you can appreciate when you’re under the truck.
