General Information

Before You Start

Read this manual before attempting installation so that you can

familiarize yourself with the components and how they fit on the

vehicle. Identify variations for different model years and different

situations that are listed in the manual. Open the package, unpack

the components and identify them.

All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers

torque values for OEM fasteners. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent on

all engine-mounted fasteners. Torque values are with Loctite applied

unless otherwise specified.

Hose Coding

Different frame designations will affect the tank mounting position. If

you have to move the tank, the lines may be too short. Measure the

hose shortfall and order a Hose Extender Kit. The following table

shows the color code used by VMAC to identify hose diameters.

Part 1: Preparing for Installation

Preparation for installation is very important. Missing an item can

cause problems in the installation or even damage to components.

Check off each item as it is completed so that you do not miss any

preparation steps.

□Disconnect the battery.

□Drain the coolant.

□Disconnect and discard the expansion bottle hose from the bottle

and the engine, then remove the air box with coolant expansion

bottle and the air ducting.

□Remove the inner fender mud guard on the driver side.

□Cut to separate the air box from the coolant expansion bottle

(Figure 1.1).

□Remove the upper radiator hose. Cut the quick-coupler

connector from the hose and discard the hose.

□Separate the lower radiator hose at the center connector to drain

coolant, then remove the lower radiator hose. Cut the quick

connects off both hoses.

□Unclip the wire harness from the lower fan shroud and all the

way around, then pull the harness clear.

□Drain and remove the power steering reservoir. Remove the

OEM power steering hose from the reservoir and replace it with

the supplied 3/4 inch hose.

□On trucks with hydro boost brakes, remove the 3/8 inch OEM

hose from between the master cylinder and the power steering

reservoir.

□Cut the hose close to the 90 degree molded elbow on the master

cylinder end and reverse the hose so that the elbow will attach to

the power steering reservoir.

other end to the master cylinder with the supplied connector and

hose.

□Remove the upper and lower bolts locating the fan shroud and

remove the coolant overflow hose from the upper fan shroud.

□Loosen the fan (RH thread). Unbolt the fan shroud and remove

the fan and shroud together.

□Remove the OEM ground connector to radio suppressor

attached to one of the studs and attach it to one of the studs by

the thermostat housing.

□Remove and discard the three OEM M10 bolts with the M8

studded ends from the driver’s side of the cylinder head.

□Clean the front of the engine on the driver’s side.

□Clean the center of the OEM crank pulley.

□Disconnect the wiring from the ABS module on the driver’s side

frame rail but do not disconnect the brake lines as they will flex

and allow the module to be moved.

□Remove the bolt securing the ABS module to the OEM mounting

bracket and lift it off the rubber bushings. Remove and discard

the ABS mounting bracket but keep the two rubber bushings for

installation later.

□Install the replacement ABS bracket in the same location as the

original using the OEM fasteners.

□Install the OEM rubber bushings on the ABS module and fit it

onto the pins on the replacement bracket. Carefully bend the

brake lines to align the OEM mounting bolt with the hole on the

new bracket and fasten the module in place.

Part 2: Installing the Main Bracket,

Compressor and Cooler

2.1 Installing the Main Bracket and Compressor

□Remove all the components from the bracket (Figure 2.1).

Figure 2.1

□Place the support bracket on the bottom of the driver’s side

cylinder head, insert the M16 bolt through the tube part of the

bracket into the OEM hole in the cylinder head and hand tighten

(Figure 2.2).

□Place the main bracket in position and bend the brake lines on

the ABS module as necessary to provide clearance.

□Place the main bracket in position to locate the mounting points

on the engine. Install and hand tighten the three M8 and one

M10 bolts in the front plate (Figure 2.2).

bracket bolts.

□Check the fit between the support bracket and the main bracket,

make sure everything aligns properly, then torque the M16 bolt,

then the M10 bolts and finally the M8 bolts, in that order.

If you do not tighten the fasteners in the right order, the

mounting pad will be pulled out of alignment with the

front plate.
