Started my truck the other day and had a god awfull grown in the cab, stepped outside nothing. GOt to work and pulled the truck in the shop and found the problem ALL of the bolts in the passenger side motor mount that bolt to the block had SHEARED OFF :--) Im sooo not happy I am selling this truck tommorrow and now have one more thing to fix. THis ever happen to anyone else.

Usually they are hard to remove when pulling a motor etc. IE tight. If you are not the original owner etc, maybe a motor mount was changed under warranty etc. . ?



They are much easier to access with the core support, radiator, innercooler and a/c condensor and bumper removed from the truck!



Clean them, locktite and do the best you can. An impact with some swivles (sp) on your extensions with assist you too.



Good luck

Done . Actually an easy fix. *******s came out with my fingers and I had to do no hammering or removing of the core support, radiator ect. Only had to remove the turbo elbo. Truck leaves the yard tommorow.
