Dana 35

This category lists remanufactured Dana 35 front carrier assemblies under Differentials. Every unit here is a complete front carrier assembly, and every one is listed with a ring gear diameter of 7.562. The listings are separated by application year, gear ratio and vendor SKU, so the ratio is the first thing to settle.

What fits what

Ford coverage is the larger group: 91-97 Ford Explorer, 1991-1994 Ford Explorer, 1995-1996 Explorer, 1996-2001 Ford Explorer, 1996-2003 Ford Explorer and 1998-2005 Ford Ranger and Explorer. The 1995-1996 Explorer units are listed as Vac. Assist. Chrysler and Dodge coverage is 1997-1999 Dakota and Durango and 1997-1999 Dakota.

Gear ratios listed here are 3.23, 3.27, 3.55, 3.73, 3.92, 4.10 and 4.11. Not every ratio is offered for every year range, so match the year first and then the ratio.

How to identify yours

The vendor SKU is the cleanest identifier on this page. SKUs run in the RAA440 series and group by application: RAA440-1288A through 1288D for the 1991-1994 and 91-97 Explorer listings, RAA440-1317A through 1317C for the 1997-1999 Dakota and Durango units, RAA440-1348A through 1348D for the later Explorer and Ranger listings, and RAA440-1349A through 1349D for 1995-1996 Explorer. Within each group the trailing letter tracks the ratio.

Read the titles carefully, because the naming is not consistent across this category. Some units are titled Dana 35 and some are titled M35 or Model 35 IFS while still carrying the Dana 35 axle family. One listing, the 1997-1999 Dakota 3.23, is recorded with an axle family of M35 rather than Dana 35. We have left those entries as they appear in the source data rather than rewriting them, so check the ratio, the year and the SKU rather than relying on the model name. If you have the ratio tag from your own carrier, quote it when you call and we will match it against the listing.

Core charge and warranty

Remanufactured carriers carry a 6-month limited warranty as standard. A 7-year / 1,000,000-mile extended warranty and a core fee waiver are available on request for qualifying remanufactured units, must be arranged at the time of purchase, and are not automatic. These are exchange units and a refundable core charge may apply. Call 216-250-6666 for the amount before you order. See the remanufacturing process and the warranty page.
