Dana Holding Corp. announced the launch of several new service parts that have been specifically designed for powertrains to optimize the benefits of engine downspeeding. More than 150 heavy-duty genuine Spicer part numbers have been added for the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 series tandem drive axles and Spicer Life Series SPL 350 driveshafts and universal joints.
“Our service parts offering provides the same quality and performance features as our OEM parts for new vehicles,” said Doug Wolma, vice president and general manager for Dana Aftermarket Group. “This is especially critical when considering the torsional load put on the drivetrain that is created by engine downspeeding.”
The new service items include genuine Spicer universal joints, axle carriers, axle housings, axle shafts, yokes, seals, overhaul kits, power dividers, and more. All have been designed to effectively handle and manage the high torques and stresses on driveshafts, axles, and inter-axle shafts associated with downspeeding.
