ETA: I used diesel D2 mounts for his project, (2000 D2, 237K miles) and the D2 TDi mounts I received Were Not a perfect fit. I had to slightly modify the mounts to fit. Pictures, the process, part numbers to follow. In response to Juke179R, I'm going to look further into parts numbers; there might be a difference between 300tdi and TD5 mounts for the D2.
Original Post started here: I'm in the middle of HGs on my 00 D2 after noticing a passenger side coolant leak. When I crawled under the truck to remove the exhaust manifolds from the Y pipe, I noticed all both motor, and transfer case mounts are shot; the motor is both kinked/turned and about an inch forward. My son rear ended a pick up last summer and I suspect the jolt from the bump, or my off roading since, has caused the problem.
I replaced the drivers side a number years ago; the remaining mounts are 23 years old.
I've got the passenger side nut off, but I seem to recall that the trick to break torque on the drivers side was to get a wrench in there and use a bottle jack (at least that's my current plan) to break torque.
Need your Tips and Tricks for the drivers side, and the transfer case mounts.
I've got a transmission lift, two 3 ton floor jacks, and a couple of bottle jacks. Ive also got an engine lift, but would have to roll the truck out of the garage to use it.
thanks in advance, mv
