LT Series Alternator and Power Steering Bracket for L83/L86 Trucks
Installing an LT Series motor in a truck often causes belt tracking issues when the water pump sits offset on the driver's side. This LT Series Alternator/Power Steering Bracket L83/L86 Truck secures the alternator and power steering pump in optimal relation to factory pulleys for precise belt alignment. The kit's powder coated steel brackets, spacers and all necessary hardware resist corrosion under hood and ensure lasting support. Integrated idler pulleys maintain correct tension and smooth operation while detailed fitment instructions handle the rest of the assembly steps for Gen 5 5.3L and 6.2L truck engines.
Precision Fit for Gen 5 L83 and L86 Engines
This bracket set is engineered specifically for Gen 5 L83 (5.3L) and L86 (6.2L) truck engines with a driver side water pump layout. Precision machining of each mounting point and dedicated spacers ensures the alternator and steering pump align exactly with factory pulley paths. By matching factory belt angles and tension requirements, it reduces wear and vibration for smoother operation under load. Installers benefit from a plug-and-play design that adapts to existing engine bays without cutting or welding.
Robust Steel with Protective Powder Coat
Each bracket is formed from heavy gauge steel and finished in a resilient black powder coat that bonds at the molecular level. This coating guards against under-hood heat, road moisture and salt, keeping mounts free of rust and corrosion season after season. The durable finish also resists chipping from debris or tool contact during service. With minimal maintenance required, teams can focus on performance rather than touch-up work.
Optimized Belt Routing with Idler Pulleys
Integrated idler pulleys maintain consistent belt tension and prevent slippage during rapid throttle inputs. Their sealed bearings and precise alignment reduce friction and noise for long service life. The pulley arrangement ensures the belt follows the ideal path around the alternator, steering pump and water pump, preserving drive efficiency. In combination with the responsive steering pump, this system delivers reliable hydraulic flow and crisp steering feedback.
Complete Hardware Package for Streamlined Installation
This kit includes custom brackets, precision spacers, idler pulleys, power steering pump, remote reservoir and all mounting hardware needed for assembly. Clear step-by-step instructions guide you through each stage, cutting installation time and eliminating guesswork. By combining every component in one package, the risk of missing parts or mismatched fasteners is removed. The result is a consistent final fit that meets professional standards.
Trust this LT Series bracket to maintain optimal belt tension for smooth operation.
