Compatibilité et exigences
This bracket kit is designed for specific engine and accessory configurations:
- Compatibilité moteur : All GM LS series engines.
- Crank Pulley Compatibility: Truck/SUV crank pulley or LS3/L99 Camaro crank pulley.
- Water Pump Compatibility: 1998-2002 LS1 Camaro water pump or LS3 water pump.
It is crucial to ensure your engine's crank pulley spacing matches the requirements for proper belt alignment and function. Refer to the LS Crank Spacing Guide for detailed measurements.

Instructions d'installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure the engine is cool and disconnected from the battery before beginning any work.
- Préparation: Disconnect the negative battery terminal. If applicable, remove the existing alternator and any brackets that will be replaced by this kit.
- Support de montage : Attach the lower alternator bracket to the designated mounting points on the engine block. Use the provided hardware and ensure proper torque specifications are met (refer to a service manual for your specific engine).
- Installation de l'alternateur : Mount the alternator onto the new brackets. Secure it using the provided bolts and spacers. Ensure the alternator is seated correctly and can pivot freely if necessary for belt tensioning.
- Belt Routing: Route the serpentine belt according to the engine's accessory drive system. Ensure the belt is properly seated on all pulleys, including the relocated alternator pulley.
- Tension : Adjust the belt tensioner to achieve the correct belt tension. A properly tensioned belt should have minimal deflection.
- Vérifications finales : Double-check all bolted connections for tightness. Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the engine and verify proper alternator function and belt alignment. Listen for any unusual noises.

Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Belt Squeal/Noise | Incorrect belt tension, misaligned pulleys, worn belt. | Check and adjust belt tension. Verify all pulleys are aligned. Inspect belt for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure correct crank pulley spacing. |
| Alternator Not Charging | Loose electrical connections, faulty alternator, incorrect belt tension. | Inspect all electrical connections to the alternator. Test alternator output. Verify belt tension. |
| Bracket Interference | Incorrect component selection (e.g., steam port kit), improper installation. | Verify all components (crank pulley, water pump, steam port kit) are compatible with this bracket. Re-check installation steps and clearances. |
