NO NOTCH NEEDED! - 2nd Design LOW MOUNT LS Swap AC Bracket - UTX
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Today at Ugly Truck, we’re fabricating another low mount AC compressor bracket for another 5.3L LS swapped squarebody C10. Jerry’s first bracket design used a stretch fit belt, which led to some issues. So today, we’re using a belt tensioner and thicker steel for the perfected compressor mount! Be sure to check out the first video for more info!
Check out the FIRST BRACKET DESIGN here! • Don't NOTCH That FRAME...
Here's a list of what we used:
- 3" x 3/8" steel flat bar
- 1 1/2" x 3/8" steel flat bar
- 3/4" x 3/4" steel square bar
- 11/32" drill bit amzn.to/3PiFg63
- 10 x 1.50 mm tap amzn.to/3Tt4j92
- OE Tensioner - Gates 38159 amzn.to/3Iw4J8m
- OE Size Belt - Gates K040378 amzn.to/438sXPy
- Updated Tensioner (smaller pulley, more travel, we like this one!) - Continental 49276 amzn.to/3wXYKXb
- One Size Up Belt (easier to install) - Gates K040382 amzn.to/43gwImc

Unrelated to this video but I wanted to thank yall for all the information you put out. It helped me finish putting a 5.3 in my 91 S10. Thank you both a ton and keep up the content!
Thanks so much, Magoose! We appreciate you watching, and glad the videos were helpful! --Emily and Jerry
I know you mentioned it, but I would absolutely buy one of these from you. It seems like a way better design than the other eBay style. Those seem really flimsy
Hey Wonka! I just responded to your email. Thanks for reaching out! --Emily
Awesome intro! Jerry makes a good professor😂
Hopefully someone will take that prototype and start making a bunch of them so you don’t have to lol
Anyways, I’m glad you have perfected it for my upcoming swap on the 87 blazer👍😊 47:46
Thanks Jeff! We've been saving that lab coat for a special occasion... 😆
It survived the 3'5" drop test. Thats American made quality! Nice!!😄
That was my favorite part of the video. That compressor has hit the floor a few times. Thanks Chris. Jerry
Great video. Thx.
Thanks Cody! We appreciate you tuning in!
Nice job! I just purchased one of your new and improved AC brackets!
Thanks so much! We appreciate it!
Obs trucks need this
Awesome! Id love to buy one
Send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we'll put your name on the list, and let you know when we have one available! Thanks for watching!
Jerry u did good, but get it pat.
Take my money, Jerry! I volunteer to be the first customer for the redesigned bracket 😂
😆 Send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we'll put your name on the list, and let you know when we have one available! Thanks for tuning in, Patrick!
@@UglyTruckExperience will do! Thanks
Jerry, nice job on the bracket! I was thinking that some modifications to the factory bracket could help it fit. If it does, I will still have a tight squeeze on the a/c hoses; right? Does your bracket bring the compressor closer to the engine block making room for factory hose connections?
Hey Joey! Yes, this bracket brings the compressor in about an inch, and also rotates it a little to make more room for the factory hose connections. Check out this video, showing how it all ends up fitting. th-cam.com/video/A4nrGG5hxjI/w-d-xo.html
One more question please, do you recommend using the newer Saden (I think that’s the name) verses the older pancake R4?
I lied 😂 one more question… does the rear bolt of your bracket lie directly behind the motor mount causing you to have it installed before setting the engine in place? Mine is directly behind the mount.
Sorry about that… I asked the question before watching all the way through. Thanks for not fussing at me. 😂
With all the LS stuff out there it’s hard to believe no one is making a low AC mount. Good job guys!
Am I missing something? They have them
Hi I will like to buy one of your AC brackets for a 5.3 how can I do that?
Hi Juan! I just responded to your email! 👍 --Emily
Are you selling those ac mounts yet.
Hi Don! We do sell these when we have them available. If you're interested, send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we'll put your name on the list!
Do you sell that bracket? I have a lm7 in a 87 R20
We do sell some when we have time to make extras. Send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we'll put your name on the list! Thanks Anthony!
Are these mounts available for purchase?

@@UglyTruckExperience sent an email for more info on how to order, im not sure if you received it..
Hi Ivan, we got your email but are behind on responding. We'll be in touch! Thanks!
Happy days Love you both!❤
❤❤
You're going to ruin that block and the compressor welding and grinding on it like that.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?? *rolls up newspaper* 🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂@@UglyTruckExperience
Forget the fact that he threw the compressor on the floor. Sparks? Your worried about sparks? It is fine. Lol...Love the new design.
*Promosm* 😄
Awww so the first Ac bracket I won in the raffle is going to give me a vibration, darn it!! lol but 2.0 New and improved AC bracket looks awesome 😊 good job!!😎
Thanks Gus! I thought I had sent everyone an email about the new design, but I might have missed you! Send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com with your address again, and we'll send you the new 2.0 design as soon as we can. We appreciate you tuning in! 😁 --Emily
Where can i buy you guys ac braket
Now who can answer the age old question... Will it work on a 1st gen ls swapped s10?
Hello Jay. That is a great question. I am always amazed when I run into a swapped S10. Much less room to work with. Let us know if it fits if you end up trying it. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily
@@UglyTruckExperience well I guess I need to email you so I can get a price and pay you... I'll give it a try but I got to be honest... If it don't work my son will think about it every time he slides the control panel over to a/c.....after a few Alabama summer days ... He won't ever buy anything from you guys lol
How much to buy one from you
Hello Kelly, send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and we can go from there. Thanks, and we appreciate you watching our stuff! --Emily and Jerry
Stretch Belt < Tensioner Belt
We have a ‘21 Trail Boss Silverado with the 5.3. Changing that belt (what I think was a little too early) really sucked. So much work for a belt. Made sure to put even MORE tools in the truck toolbox because of that.
Yep! We're really happy with how this design turned out. Tensioner is definitely the way to go! Thanks for tuning in, Lance! --Emily and Jerry
Awesome intro guys!!! I hope to be back on my engine in a few days. I just got back home. I was admitted for a mini stroke. I'm good now. Just need to make a few changes. My grand daughter wants to learn as well. I am very excited about that as well. Gotta make a few changes for them. I plan on being here a long while. Emily, I have (HEARD) that even looking at a weld through a camera can damage your eyes. Not sure how true it is.
Thanks Hugh! Glad your ok and on the mend!! Gotta keep you around for a while, you've got some teaching to do! So awesome to see you and your family working together. Keep it up! 😁 --Emily and Jerry
Thank you guys very much.
Every time I see a tennis ball, I holler out “look!!”. I’m a big dork. Feels like I’m part of the channel now!!! Y’all made me famous…
Hey Jon. The chrome cap also made an appearance in the intro. We have big plans for it. Thanks again. Jerry
Reeds motor is in good hands ..maybe one day it will be rebuilt and power something awesome!
We'll find a good home for it, I'm sure! But it's got a few brackets to build for us in the meantime. 😁 Thanks Reed!
where are you guys located at im in ga and need my 87 c10 swapped?
We're located just outside of Springfield, MO. Feel free to send us an email at uglytruckexperience@gmail.com and tell us about your project. Thanks for reaching out! --Emily and Jerry
You guys are the king and queen of the ls! I'm finally driving mine in an 86 gmc 3500 3+3. One question I have is where do you get the air conditioning hoses? I need the same ones you have on that truck right there at the end of the video. Thanks again for the gas pedal plate!
Hey Lou, that's awesome!! We're so glad to hear your swap is on the road! We didn't do the swap on this truck, we just moved the engine back and fixed some things. I'm not sure where those hoses came from, and thankfully we didn't have to mess with them. An AC hose video has been on our to-do list for a while, so we'll have a video on how we do it coming up soon. We appreciate you watching, Lou! And congrats on your swap!! 👍 --Emily and Jerry
@UglyTruckExperience sounds great I can't wait. Thanks again!
sorry so late 😊
Hi Alonso! 👋
Torque specs on older videos helped me so much on this LS4 not so common 5.3 😊
Those LS4's are oddballs for sure! Glad the videos were helpful. We appreciate you watching our stuff!
