## ⚙️ Key Features

-   OEM mounting-hole and stand-off geometry
-   Supports charge-air cooler or associated intake components
-   Maintains pipe alignment and prevents stress at flexible connections
-   Designed for heavy-duty engine vibration and boost-system loading
-   Direct replacement for a cracked, bent or corroded bracket
-   Engine type: 16.1 L six-cylinder turbocharged/aftercooled industrial diesel

## 🔌 Function

Carries the weight and vibration load of the charge-air cooler or associated ducting while preserving the specified pipe alignment.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Cracking around bolt holes or welded joints
-   Charge-air cooler or pipe movement and vibration
-   Misaligned hoses causing boost leakage or chafing
-   Loose fasteners or elongated mounting holes
-   Contact between the intake assembly and adjacent engine components

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Offer the bracket up and start every fastener by hand before tightening any of them, so the component is not pulled into a strained position
-   Check the mating faces are clean, flat and free of corrosion scale — a bracket that does not sit flat will work loose and let the component move
-   Renew self-locking nuts, lock washers, tab washers or thread-locking compound wherever the original assembly used them, and tighten to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Where the bracket carries a rubber mount or bush, renew that at the same time rather than reusing a perished one
-   On brackets in the inlet and exhaust area, never force alignment to make the holes line up — cure the misalignment at its source, or the bracket and the component it holds will both crack
