Has anyone ever had problems, changed or know the symtom of motor mount failure. How hard to swap out? | ||

Pretty easy to swap out. Mine busted a few months ago. Thought it was just one but both were busted. Put the truck in gear, holding the break bow up the motor and have someone look in the fender well to see if the mount is seperated. All you need is the right size wrench and a floor jack. | ||

Where do you put the jack? | ||

I stuck it under the trasmission bell housing I think. | ||

You think that will hold the weight. It looks as if this is the only jackable place. We will see. Thanks Will. | ||

Charles, another way to do it is behind the oil filter where the oil pan bends. Take a look at the pics below. This is where the Rover techs lift the engine (but obviously while it�s on the rack) but this does the job using a bottle jack without pushing the engine too high up.   | ||
