Description
If the ratio option on your van is GU6, this is the listing that matches it: a remanufactured GM 7.2 IFS front carrier for 1999-2005 GMC Astro and Safari at a 3.42 ratio. Vendor SKU is RAA440-1353A. The ring gear appears as 7.2 in the title and the product field but as GM 7.25 inch in the application notes, so that number is not consistent across the record and is worth confirming. Front and rear ratio tags have to agree, which makes the tag the last check before ordering.
