LT Series Alternator and Power Steering Bracket for L83/L86 Trucks
When you're swapping an LT Series motor into a truck, lining up the alternator and steering pump under the hood often demands custom brackets to avoid belt misalignment. The LT Series Alternator/Power Steering Bracket L83/L86 Truck solves this by positioning both components on Gen 5 5.3L and 6.2L engines with a driver side water pump arrangement for precise belt tracking. Crafted from powder coated steel with all necessary brackets, spacers and hardware included, it offers reliable mounting that resists corrosion and keeps belt tension in check.
Custom Mounting Tailored for Gen 5 LT Series Engines
This bracket set is engineered specifically for Gen 5 L83 (5.3L) and L86 (6.2L) truck engines, accommodating the driver side water pump layout without compromise. By providing precision-machined mounting points and dedicated spacers, it ensures the alternator and steering pump align perfectly with factory belt paths. The exact positioning minimizes belt wear and vibration, delivering smooth power transfer under load. Installers benefit from a design that adapts to existing engine bays, eliminating the need for chopping or fabrication.
Durable Powder Coated Steel Construction
Constructed from robust steel and finished with a resilient black powder coat, this bracket resists rust and impact better than bare metals. The coating process fuses at the molecular level, creating a protective barrier against road moisture, salt, and high under-hood temperatures. This long lasting finish maintains its appearance and structural integrity through seasons of use. Technicians will appreciate that corrosion resistance translates to fewer service worries down the road.
Integrated Idler Pulleys and Responsive Steering Pump
High-precision idler pulleys come pre-installed to maintain consistent belt tension and eliminate slippage during rapid throttle input. The included power steering pump is selected for its quick response and steady hydraulic flow, improving low-speed maneuverability and on-center feel. A remote mount reservoir manages fluid expansion and helps prevent aeration, which can degrade steering feedback. Together, these components optimize belt routing and maintain efficient operation under rigorous driving conditions.
Complete Installation Kit for Effortless Assembly
Every necessary part is included in one package-brackets, spacers, hardware, idler pulleys, power steering pump, and remote reservoir-so there is no need to hunt for additional components. Clear fitment instructions guide the installer through each step, cutting hours off the average swap timeline. This all-in-one approach reduces the risk of missing fasteners or mismatched parts, delivering a consistent final outcome. Enthusiasts and professional shops alike value the simplicity and reliability that come from a thoughtfully packaged kit.
Engineered for precise fit and reliable operation in your LT swap.
