Body Mounts

[Excessive Force]

Does anyone have a good source for replacement body mounts for a '92 ?

You can still get them from Dodge. They were around $18. ea. I checked last month for my up coming cab swap.

Anyone got a part number on these cab mounts?

I'm thinking it is 4432017 for the isolater between the cab and frame. Can Anyone confirm this?

I looked for the paper I had the numbers written down on and couldn't find it. I'll be ordering mine in a couple of weeks.

I ordered mine from summit, think it was like $70 for all of them. Prothane makes them so there poly, not rubber and will last prettymuch forever

'and will last pretty much forever'



I doubt that. If you notice, the tang of the mount that fits in the frame bracket hole is where the things fail. There needs to be more side thickness or depth on that hole. The body of the mount thickness is adequate for the bouncing loads but there are side oscillations which the original mount don't adequately handle. Some years back, the mfgrs did a better job with the mounts.



I have the cab off of a 93 and was looking at the problem. There are larger mounts made by Lord which are common on engines in industrial applications. It is my intention to modify the bracket on the frame and use those. I don't have a number or any other recommendation at the moment but I plan to get something done on that next week. If I can firm something up I will post what I find.



Incidentally, I found a crack in the frame on the passenger side at the lower rear edge of the front suspension crossmember. You would never see it from a casual observation. In fact, I have had the cab off a couple of weeks and the engine out. I only just noticed it. This was a Texas regular cab flatbed truck that I bought for parts. Can't say at all as to the way the truck was treated. It only has about 180k miles. I plan to look real good at my others when they are on the rack.
