Axiom Supply Reaper Series CV Axle Assembly | 2001-2010 GM 2500HD/3500HD 4WD | Front

Axiom Reaper Series CV Axle Assembly | 2001–2010 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD & 3500HD | 4WD Front

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 and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD 4WD trucks (GMT800 and GMT900 platforms). A worn or failing CV axle causes clicking or popping under load or at full steering lock, vibration at highway speed, grease leaking from a torn CV boot, and in severe cases complete loss of power delivery to the front wheel. The Reaper Series assembly features reinforced CV joints, a sealed maintenance-free design, and OEM-style direct-fit mounting for clean installation. Designed for lifted, leveled, and stock-height HD trucks under towing, hauling, and off-road loads. 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 are side-specific — confirm whether you need the driver side (left) or passenger side (right) before ordering. AXCV10 — confirm side designation before placing your order.
• Replace in pairs recommended: If one CV axle has failed, the opposite side has experienced the same mileage and load cycles. Replacing both sides simultaneously prevents a repeat repair within a short interval.
• Differential seal inspection: Inspect the differential output seal on the affected side before installing the new axle. A leaking differential seal will contaminate the new CV joint and cause premature failure. Replace the seal if leaking.
• Hub bearing inspection: Inspect the front wheel bearing on the affected side during axle removal. A worn bearing should be replaced before reinstalling the axle.
• Axle nut torque — mandatory: Torque the axle nut to OEM specification for 2001–2010 GM 2500HD/3500HD (verify in GM service manual). Do not estimate — undertorque allows axle movement; overtorque damages the bearing.
• 4WD engagement check: After installation, verify 4WD engagement and disengagement function correctly before returning the vehicle to service.

Installation Warning

Do not install on 2WD trucks — no CV axle application. Do not install on 2011 or newer GM HD (K2XX) — different CV axle specification. Inspect and replace differential output seal if leaking before installing new axle. Torque axle nut to OEM specification — do not estimate. Confirm left or right side before ordering — once installed, the axle is non-returnable.

Engineering Question: Have you confirmed your truck is 2001–2010 GMT800/GMT900 4WD, and do you need the driver side (left) or passenger side (right)? CV axles are side-specific — confirm side designation before ordering. If both sides are clicking or vibrating, replacing as a pair is the correct approach.
