So I just returned from my mechanic after a routine oil change and he shows me I have a cracked drivers side motor mount!!!! WTF... I mean seriously GM? You would think they would install a strong enough motor mount for what people use these SUV's for. My mechanic ony works with GMC and Chevy's and he said he is noticing this often.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Oh and cause where it is located, not the cheapest of repairs either..
i , too , have a failed drivers motor mount. this is VERY COMMON(can’t stress this enough) in these NNBS GMT900s …. i’ve noticed - & this is after rebuilding my valve body & TEHCM - that it can - at times - mimic a rough shift - typically occurring when accelerating from 1st braking & thus, result in mistaken presumed diagnosing. or a head scratcher at what’s actually causing your issues.
after replacing my VB & still experiencing that bump sensation, i plugged my scanner in & ran active tests on my trans & noticed my parameters were fine & my trans issues were fixed with the VB & TEHCM rebuild. timing was correct & i noticed the issue was occurring after immediately after the shift already compelted. it was this forum & another member suggestion to look towards my motor mounts. took my endoscope & looked around INSIDE the billet-esque aluminum housing & noticed it had cracked completly apart.
i have it in the plans this upcoming to change it out this weekend by jacking the engine just slightly under the firewall & hoping to get enough clearance to do so.
sorry for the novel but i did a boat load of research & TSB reading & this is a very very common issue , unfortunately, more so now that these trucks are 15 years old at least.
hope this helps someone who might be unsure of their jerking culprit.
