if it was installed and stress was put on it, then it will not last. .. grind out the bolt holes if necessary, but do not install one where it gets put under any kind of stress, or twist, etc. it needs to be mounted in a relaxed state. If you have to pry and push on things to get it to bolt up,.. something is going to make it fail again. .... also ensure rad mounts and bushings are all in good shape... and lastly --- DON;T SLAM YOUR HOOD OPEN AND LET IT BOUNCE!@!!!!! WHEN CHECKING YOUR OIL, ETC... THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF CAC UNITS, AS ON MOST TRUCK, THE SHOCK OR STOP CABLES ARE TIED TO THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR AND CAC.

Just sharing some thoughts...not directed at anyone.
