Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the part number AC681000S and OEM number BHT79465 against the old condenser or the vehicle parts listing. On air conditioning condensers, matching the fitting style is just as important as matching the brand, so the pad inlet and pad outlet arrangement should be checked carefully against the original unit.

The dimensions are also important here: 838mm long, 508mm high and 16mm thick. Even when a condenser is listed for the correct vehicle family, small differences in core size, mounting layout or line connection style can affect whether it will suit the truck without modification.

This unit is listed for Freightliner Century Class 60 Series C120 vehicles with 12.7L and 14.0L engines from 01/1999 to 01/2004. If your vehicle falls outside that range, or if the existing condenser has a different fitting arrangement, verify the application before purchasing rather than assuming interchange.

The one year warranty applies to the supplied MAHLE condenser, but warranty coverage is not a substitute for confirming fitment. The safest check is still to match the vehicle application, the pad fittings, and the part numbers before installation work begins.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration.

Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
