For ease of installation the cooler hoses should be installed
after the cooler is installed and before the fan and upper fan
shroud are installed.
3.4 Installing Main Bracket
□ Remove tensioner and idlers from VMAC bracket.
□ Disconnect A/C sensor.
□ Install supplied adhesive rubber pad on the air conditioning line
that runs in front of the modified upper secondary coolant hose
connector (at the water pump). Install adhesive rubber pad to
protect hose where it will rub against main bracket. Secure with
zip ties.
□ Remove Stud Bolt at front, passenger side engine cover, and cut
off stud flush to top of bolt head, then reinstall bolt. (Figure 3.8).
□ Install main bracket. On single alternator trucks use supplied
spacers behind top drivers side mount and lower front mount
between bracket and secondary water pump, (Figure 3.9).
For ease of installation, you may want to remove lower
secondary rad hose to get the main bracket in place on the
engine. Reinstall the hose immediately after installation of
the bracket.
Secondary coolant hose routes under compressor pad.
Ensure hose does not kink. Adjust the hose clamps if
necessary.
The wiring harness is routed above the VMAC bracket and
the front of the engine and specific attention must be paid to
ensuring the wiring harness is not pinched.
□ Check to make sure that no wires or OEM objects are pinched
between the bracket and the engine. The coolant hose installed
earlier must run under compressor platform.
