Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, compare the compressor mounting, pulley layout and electrical system to your vehicle. This unit is a 12V Sanden SD7H15 with ear mount mounting, a vertical tube O ring fitting type and an 8 groove pulley, so those details need to line up with the existing compressor or the vehicle specification.

Part numbers are especially important with air conditioning compressors. This unit is listed as CXS8048 and carries original equipment number 8048, with replacement clutch CLX8048. If the old compressor has a different number, different clutch arrangement or a different mounting style, it should be checked carefully before fitment.

The application list is specific to certain Freightliner and Sterling truck models only. That includes Ford Sterling LTR 9513 60 Series 14.0L from 01/2000 onwards, Freightliner Century Class C120 60 Series 14.0L from 01/2000 onwards, and Freightliner FL 80 ISC 8.3L and FL1112 10.8L within the stated production range. Matching the vehicle family alone is not enough; the compressor mounting and part details still need to be verified.

This compressor is supplied with a one year warranty and weighs 8kg. Those details are useful for handling and purchasing, but they do not replace checking the vehicle application, the existing compressor number and the hose and pulley arrangement before final installation.

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. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number CXS8048 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
