Freightliner Carrier Pivot Engine Rocker Pivot

Description

Product Overview

The Freightliner Carrier Pivot is an OEM‑grade replacement designed for the Carrier series of heavy‑duty trucks. Manufactured by Freightliner, this pivot features a robust painted steel construction that balances strength with corrosion resistance. Measuring 9.5 x 3.75 x 1.75 inches and weighing just 1.13 pounds, it fits precisely into the engine’s rocker arm assembly without the need for additional modifications. The part number 17-20555-000 matches the original equipment specification, ensuring a seamless fit for the Carrier Pivot model. Its painted finish not only adds an aesthetic touch but also provides an extra barrier against the harsh environments typical in commercial trucking, such as road salt, oil splatter, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Usage

This pivot is intended for use in the repair and maintenance of diesel engines found in Freightliner carriers. It is ideal for professional mechanics, independent repair shops, and fleet maintenance teams who require a dependable component that restores the rocker arm’s proper motion. The pivot can be installed during routine engine overhauls, after a failed rocker arm, or when performing a complete engine rebuild. Its lightweight design simplifies handling during installation, while the precise dimensions guarantee alignment with existing mounting points, reducing downtime and labor costs. Suitable for both on‑site service bays and mobile repair units, the part performs reliably in a variety of operating conditions, from city deliveries to long‑haul routes.
