    Broken Motor Mounts

    On another note, the engine has been jumping up and slamming on that mount for who knows how long. Very dangerous situation on my part, even during the testing phase sitting in one spot. I think this speaks volumes on the quality of the H3 mount to still be fully functional.

    LMAO! I promise you guys I'm way more relieved. I spent HOURS looking at different cars with solid mounts to compare vibration levels and I am a firm believer in stats and data. I hate to be the one off and was questioning my existance ever since i thought that mount was broken. Why me? But...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    I agree with you. I think I took a frustration route as the only thing that made sense for these bolts to come loose in the first place (even the ones I know I tightened to spec successfully) is not tight enough. I will definitely use the right torques in all situations.

    intake snorkel tube off

    Most cars I seen or knew would barely start without the intake tubing so I'm surprised it does that much for you. I remember driving my boosted Nissan Maxima ages ago and car would shut off if intake popped off. I thought it was a pressure issue or something

    Broken Motor Mounts

    The visible section of the engine in between a beam and the sway bar. There is a small window of opportunity. If your wood is too wide, it wont fit between that area and if your setup is not high enough, the jack can get in the way before you start lifting. I did majority of my work from...

    Thanks for the advice. I seen 100 tq would be ok and thought 50 would be no biggie. I ended up using a wrench to get that last bolt as tight as I could. That front DIFF seems to limit so much access. My test drive was successful. Noise is gone and that start up seems quick.

    The jack lifting the engine up has 7" high of wood. The top 2 pieces are no more than 3" wide.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    The 2 bolts closer to the front of the car were easy, I was able to torque. I torqued to 50 ft/lbs to play it safe. The 2 on the side closer to the inside of car were harder as I remembered from previous installs. I was able to hand tight the one closest to driver side but will need a smaller...

    Broken Motor Mounts

    My goodness I feel blessed. Few things! First, I thought the 4 bolts that go into engine were same as the one that goes into frame. The engine side is a LOT shorter than the side that goes into frame. If I ran to this trying to fix on my own, I would have been stressed exponentially...

    I am not familiar with grinding or any custom work involving bolts :(. I dont even have a grinder. If I cant find locally, i'll have to go to dealer on Monday. Looking for a link to send. I see zinc bolts. If I spray them with paint built for high heat, will that help in any way?

    I'll probably just do without any. I have red but i think you recommended blue for a reason. I see grade 8.8 in the stores based off websites. I hope thats good enough. Might be best to use the ones i currently have on the engine and the new ones on the body....?

    Teflon paste? Is this similar to the stuff like red or blue that keeps the bolt sealed?

    Can anyone confirm the size bolt? I think all 7 are the same but would like to be as much prepared as possible.

    Broken Motor Mounts

    UPDATE!!! The H3 is NOT broken. The 4 bolts that connect mount to the engine are all gone!! Heading to Home Depot to find similar bolts. Any specific torque for these bolts? I'm sure I tightened them right before but I know I had trouble fitting in. I think I will keep the H3's in and...

    Any regrests? Videos of the vibration? My dash is cracked in multiple places. I can see vibration being a bigger issue on this truck because of that...

    Question regarding SOLID motor mounts....there is a screw in the middle connecting the 2 pieces (1 side to engine, 1 side to body). How much tq needed to tighten that bolt?

    Broken Motor Mounts

    I'm scared mine will fail the wife test as well. I seen a video of a silverado running solids and I could see the difference along with a little extra noise? I wish you or someone could go into more details or video of how bad it is. Whatever goes in next will probably not get changed lol.

    I'm at a crossroad. I want to replace this thing 1 last time but stuck with 2 options: 1) Install H3 mount again and be more responsible and hopefully not worry about mount in a while. 2) Install solid mount and never worry about replacing a mount again but feel the vibration like Markie Mark.

    I just remembered that I did these runs with traction control on. Maybe thats why?

    My solid motor mounts literally just came in 15 minutes ago! So question before I decide to install or get another H3 set. 1) Will solid mounts give me the ability to do WOT digs without worrying about the engine flying out? Once again, I'm stock and rarely would do WOT because I'm cheap and...

    I never drive in AWD nor AUTO, always 2WD especially in the south where we barely have snow/bad weather. Even so, I should not do WOT runs from a dig? How do people at the track race? I always avoided WOT at a dig because I was always scared of my mounts but when I got the H3, I thought I...
