Authentic GM 23502557 Starter Bracket Review

Arrived on time and exactly as pictured. Installed on my 6.2 so I no longer cut starter bolts. So far, so good. 1 star snapped as I think it's a little pricey for an elbow with 2 holes in it but I didn't feel like doing it myself.

Added to my 1986 CUCV M1009. Hard to invest, but worth it. The guy I bought it from and it wasn't there. Removed the starter bolt which became a pain when I had to drill out and drive the drill in and added a spiral. A must have if you have a transmission starter on a vintage Detroit diesel engine.

If you have an older diesel GM you drive it a couple of times a year and this bracket always seems out of place. Does exactly what it takes! Such an important part to your truck, I've seen too many cast iron engine blocks destroyed by cranking torque because they didn't have this bracket.

It took a very big effort to put it on, but I managed! Here are some tips: 1) Fasten the bracket to the starter first, but leave it loose. 2) Set up the main launch boats, but leave them loose. 3) Attach the other end of the bracket to the engine block. It's going to take a lot of maneuvering, but eventually you'll be able to do it. 4) gradually tighten everything.
