LT Series AC Alternator and Power Steering Bracket for L83/L86 Trucks
When adapting an L83 or L86 Gen 5 LT engine to your truck frame, precise mounting of the alternator, AC compressor and steering pump can save hours of trial fitting. By bolting this precision engineered steel bracket directly to the engine block, you get consistent belt tracking that cuts noise and wear. Installation is simplified by factory pad locations and included hardware, and the black powder coat finish stands up to moisture and road debris for long term durability.
Precision Alignment for Gen 5 LT Series L83 and L86 Engines
The steel bracket is machined to exacting tolerances to match the factory pad locations on L83 and L86 engine blocks. This precision alignment ensures the alternator, AC compressor and power steering pump maintain ideal belt tracking, reducing vibration and noise during operation. By eliminating the need for trial fitting, it cuts installation time significantly and preserves engine responsiveness. Each bracket undergoes rigorous testing under real world conditions, guaranteeing consistent performance once installed.
Robust Powder Coat Protection Against Corrosion
Each bracket receives a durable black powder coat that bonds to the steel surface under high heat, creating a continuous barrier against moisture, road salt and debris. Unlike conventional paint, this finish resists chips and scratching, helping maintain component integrity over years of use. The dark matte appearance also integrates seamlessly with the engine bay, offering both functional protection and a clean aesthetic. This coating method extends the service life of mounting surfaces in harsh driving conditions.
Efficient AC Compressor Optimizes Power Delivery
The integrated AC compressor features internal vanes and precision porting that deliver high cooling capacity with minimal horsepower draw. By balancing flow and pressure, it maintains cabin comfort even at low idle speed without imposing extra load on the crank pulley. This efficiency enhances fuel economy and preserves available torque at higher throttle openings. The result is reliable air conditioning performance in hot climates without sacrificing engine power.
Remote Mount Steering Reservoir for Reliable Fluid Management
Locating the steering fluid reservoir away from the pump housing prevents foaming by reducing air entrapment during tight maneuvers and heavy duty use. Its elevated position also simplifies hose routing, enabling shorter lines that limit heat soak and pressure drop. These design choices support stable fluid supply under all driving conditions, protecting the pump from cavitation and ensuring crisp steering response when towing or navigating uneven terrain.
This bracket ensures precise mounting and consistent performance under all driving conditions.
