MY TRUCK’S BRACKET ALREADY BROKEN THE 975,000 MILES MARK THI S JANUARY. I own a Semi-Truck Freightliner Classic, 12.7 Detroit 500 HP series 60 engine model 2000, and since I bought it, I couldn’t find a way to fix the “little problem” all these engines have the ones with the “square” or “York” a/c compressor type. Due to the truck’s normal vibes, the A/C compressor bracket’s bolts fail constantly, because the holes on the Gear Cases get “egg shaped”. Aside from the “egg shaped” holes, some of the gear cases (Timing covers) also break where the bolts go. That in turn makes the compressor lean either towards the engine fan or towards the cab and that creates a whole bunch of problems from breaking belts to burning the AC compressor’s seal. This was also many trucks’ problem, but this bracket straightened up the compressor so it corrected the misalignment too. That’s why I developed this replacement bracket (actually, it doesn’t replace the fabric one, but works complementary), with it, you provide total griping and stability to the A/C compressor against the engine block. Since I installed it on my truck more than 10 years ago, no more bolts have broken. Other way to fix the problem when the bolts’ holes get “eggshaped” is by replacing the Gear Case. Any ways, in both cases the repair cost it’s almost the same; and eventually the problem will come back. Whoever owns these engines knows what I’m talking about. This bracket fixes the problem for a fraction of the cost. The piece is built on 3/8 and 1/2 metal plates. The installation can be done in less than an hour, by yourself. All you have to do is just set the 6 bolts (all included) and that’s all. It goes right on the top of the engine, behind the Radiator Fan, Really easy access, Virtually zero mess. All you have to do is removing the lifting eye and install the new bracket instead. I will fit on any Detroit Diesel Series 60 that has the York (Square) compressor. Only Vertical Set ups. It wont fit on engines with the compressor horizontally installed. Nor on the Sanden (Round) compressors. Every single bracket that I sell has been entirely assembled over my truck’s engine to assure a perfect alignment over any other Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine that has the York (Square) compressor. Thanks for stopping by. 1. Thanks for the bracket, worked like a charm on my 430/470. Also wanted to let u know this also solves a second issue. That was my problem, but your bracket straightened up my compressor so I should be fine. 2. It was just like Baby Bear “Just Right”! 3. Super Fast Shipper! Item Exactly as Pictured. 5. I bought this idem for 1998 frt. 6 years it worked great I found it again for 94. Great product no more broken bolts!!
