Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Axiom Reaper Series CV Axle Assembly (SKU AXCV10) is a complete, heavy-duty front CV axle shaft assembly for 2001–2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD, Silverado/Sierra 1500HD, Suburban 2500, Yukon XL 2500 (2000-2013), Avalanche 2500 (2002-2006), and Hummer H2 (2003-2007) 4WD trucks. Stock CV axles were never designed to handle lifted suspensions, oversized tires, heavy towing, or demanding off-road use — this is exactly where the Reaper Series excels. Advanced E-coated finish protects against corrosion, moisture, road debris, and harsh environments. Revolutionary UV-, heat-, and oil-resistant TPE boot outlasts traditional rubber for superior durability and flexibility under continuous suspension movement. Oversized, precision-machined CV internals with larger CV balls and cages handle higher torque and extreme operating angles — particularly well suited for lifted and leveled trucks. OEM-style direct fit installs with factory geometry, no cutting, modifications, or adjustments required. Not a rebranded OEM axle. Lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. Sold as a single axle assembly — confirm left or right side before ordering.

Symptoms of a Failing CV Axle
- Clicking or popping noise during turns — especially at full steering lock under acceleration
- Vibration through the steering wheel or floorboard at highway speed
- Grease splattered inside the wheel well — indicates a torn CV boot and contaminated joint
- Clunking when shifting from park to drive or reverse
- Loss of power delivery to the front wheel on the affected side
Installation Notes
- Side confirmation required. CV axles on this platform are conventionally side-specific due to differing shaft lengths — confirm whether you need the driver side (left) or passenger side (right) before ordering.
- Replace in pairs recommended. If one CV axle has failed, the opposite side has experienced the same mileage and load cycles.
- Differential seal inspection. Inspect the differential output seal on the affected side before installing the new axle — a leaking seal will contaminate the new CV joint.
- Hub bearing inspection. Inspect the front wheel bearing during axle removal — replace if worn before reinstalling.
- Torque specs. Axle nut to 177 lb-ft, inner CV flange bolts to 58 lb-ft. Torque fasteners with the vehicle on the ground, not on a lift.
- 4WD engagement check. Verify 4WD engagement and disengagement function correctly after installation.
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| 2WD trucks | Not compatible — no CV axle application |
| 2011 and newer GM HD | Does not fit — different CV axle specification (K2XX) |
| Leaking differential output seal | Replace before installing the new axle — contamination causes premature CV joint failure |
| Torquing off the ground | Always torque fasteners with the vehicle on the ground for correct bearing preload |
Common Questions
Does this fit my Suburban or Hummer H2?
Yes, confirmed for Suburban 2500, Yukon XL 2500, Avalanche 2500, and Hummer H2 within the stated year ranges, in addition to Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500HD and 1500HD.
Is this a rebranded OEM axle?
No. This is a purpose-built Reaper Series assembly with oversized internals and an upgraded TPE boot, not a relabeled stock part.
Do I need to torque this on the ground or on a lift?
On the ground. Torquing the axle nut and CV flange bolts with the vehicle's weight on the suspension is required for correct bearing preload.
Which side do I need?
Confirm driver side (left) or passenger side (right) before ordering — CV axles on this platform are typically side-specific.
The Obsidian Take
The AXCV10 is for the 2001-2010 GM HD 4WD owner — or the related 1500HD, Suburban, Yukon XL, Avalanche, or Hummer H2 owner — whose front CV axle is clicking, popping, or vibrating under load. E-coated finish, oversized CV internals for handling lifted and leveled geometry, a TPE boot that outlasts traditional rubber, lifetime warranty.
Confirm your exact side before ordering, and torque the axle nut and CV flange bolts with the truck on the ground, not in the air — that detail matters for correct bearing preload and long-term CV joint life.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this axle is non-returnable. Confirm side (left/right), drivetrain, and exact vehicle before ordering.
