Man, I didn't need to see this thread.....I installed this same bracket in 8/2021. I just inspected mine, no hairline cracks and seemed to be holding up just fine.

You appear to have more clearance behind your alternator that I ended up with, did you drill and move your battery bracket back?

I shifted the tray towards the back as far as the mounting holes allowed. I also had to bend the OEM rear tray lip down to hold the Group 31 battery. There isn't too much clearance between the battery and alternator.

My bracket sheared off in almost exactly the same place/way, I found it when I pulled the engine. I”m not bothering with it though, I’m mid LS swap at the moment so I won’t be using it anyway. Purchased system April 2020.

I moved my tray as far back as oem would allow also, interesting that I still don’t have as much clearance as you. Thanks for the info.
