I have two friends, both with 6.2L motors under 100,000 miles, that have had to replace their motor mounts. Is this specific to the 6.2L or is it an issues with the 5.3L as well?

If two schmekelheads drive with the same gratuitously leadfooted style, assume the 6.2L would have to replace at least one of those motor mounts before the 5.3L, just 'cause the 6.2L is stronger / more powerful.I have two friends, both with 6.2L motors under 100,000 miles, that have had to replace their motor mounts.

I replaced my 2012 Yukon SLE (5.3L) motor mounts at 100k. They were hydraulic and one was leaking, so I replaced both. The hydraulic ones have a lot of problems, so I went with the old rubber/steel ones. No problems after 3.3K miles.I have two friends, both with 6.2L motors under 100,000 miles, that have had to replace their motor mounts.

1stly, every experienced mechanic can guess which motor mount is more likely to fail sooner based on its position.I wonder if that makes them more prone to failure?
Which ones do you mean? 2500 / 3500 HD pickup truck-type stuff?The hydraulic ones have a lot of problems, so I went with the old rubber/steel ones.
how are the H3 mounts in regards to vibration in the interior? for my 6.0LI'm not knowledgeable on the details of the 15-20 body style, but with the NNBS, Hummer H3 motor mounts were suggested for the 6.2, to increase their life. The 6.2 came with motor mounts that have a fluid in them to reduce engine vibrations in the interior of the truck, and this fluid ultimately escapes.
