Hey guys i was chaniging my breaks today and i notice when i spun my tire back and forth the motor torqued over. Well i looked down at the motor mount and i noticed that the bushing was shot? normal or not?

 

Don't laugh but i totally broke my engine mounts last year. They are only vulcanized rubber, energy suspension is supposed to be making a better mount (polyeurothane) but they are not on the market yet. Our engine mounts are garbage.

 

oh well thats good. Im like trying to think if i hit a huge pot hole or somthin and i cant think of anything. I have to jack the engine up to change it right?

 

I went with solid (welded) tranny mounts and engine torque dampers. Of course this was after I replaced the stock mounts with a new set. I still manage to break a bolt of the torque dampers from time to time. Eventually I will get solid mounts made all the way around if Energy Suspension doesn't put their's up for sale.

Here is a thread on my mounts.

well you have alot more stress goin to your mounts too

 

Yep, I just wanted you to know the vulcanized rubber is not strong at all. With only the blower and putting down 300 rwhp I broke the mounts and the engine popped out its place, lol. Just letting you know the vulcanized rubber definately was not made for performance, lol.

 

so could that new trans uprade have done it? i no im not makin that much power but it shifts a hell of alot harder than stock

 

Its possible. You should try solid mounts, your ride will be a little stiffer and you will feel every shift but you won't be loosing power through those weak rubber mounts.

 

Ok ill give it a shot. I can put one solid mount for now tho right? and leave the rest until a little later. and i can just like put a 4x4 or 2 on a jack and lift the engine right?

 

Find a fabrication shop you make you a set, they are usually around 100$ or so for a customized set. I'm getting some made soon. The torque dampers just arent' holding mine in place enough. When Trucky was riding with me I kept breaking my exhaust loose, lol.
