I'm 4X4, so it has a 1 piece shaft(currently has a 4 1/2" .115 wall aluminum shaft after I twisted my .085 wall 3 1/2" steel one).
Anybody use Energy Poly Trans Mount?

I have the mount on mine, the guy I bought the merchant mounts from had it and didn't want to use it. Makes everything stiff, I'm very happy with it.
Fwiw the new part number from GM is the same general design as the aftermarket ones but retains rubber as the absorbsion material, they don't list the old style one pice mounts anymore. Also, I have ordered one from autozone in a pinch before and opened it to find a completely solid cast Mount with no absorbsion at all, I couldn't believe it.
This is what I went through last weekend. Bought an autozone mount. Noticed it was solid. But the metal is so thin I decided against using it.
My new energy suspensions mount showed up today.
Seems a little odd that there is such a big gap that has to be "smashed" down when tightening the bolts. You can see in the bottom pic that when I tightened it down, the corner (against the cross member) of the bracket actually exposed itself out from the poly. Is this normal? Currently awaiting my new bigger injectors so I haven't driven it yet with the mount.

I am jealous of that indeed. We're looking to do a moderately sized set of cobras. I want to try and do 1350+hp on the dyno (yes I know, I'm a dyno loving whore) and/or trap anything over 135mph fuel only. Hoping to have them back and installed tomorrow, tuned thursday and hit the track friday.
Nice, sounds like a good plan. You are a dyno whore, lol. At least your truck gets driven.
What have you heard about industrials new cp3? They claim more flow than anything on the market.

In on this. Solid engine mounts going in my truck this week and wondering if this would compliment them.
Interesting, so more than an exergy 12mm?
Would like to see a flow chart. I wrote that on their Facebook post about it and they deleted my comment. Haha.

Mine did the same thing without the plate and on the same side as yours, maybe the bolts are bottoming out on an internal plate.?

It did this tightening it to the trans, before I even had the cross member in. I believe the bolts are fine (not bottoming out).
Thats the preloading of the poly. If you ever put poly mounts into GM clamshells, you'd be shocked to see how much they compress/preload the poly.My new energy suspensions mount showed up today.

I have the same transmission mount, works good, I didn't really notice a difference.
you take a factory engine mount, drill through the steel, into the rubber, then back through the steel and put a bolt through it. Some use 1 or 2, 1/2" bolts or i use 1, 9/16" grade 8 bolt. I preload the bolt 3 turns to help take up slack when the weight of the motor and trans is set onto the mount. Then throw a tack on to the nut and bolt thread to keep the nut from every backing off
these are not mine but it gives you an idea of how it works. this has been around for years now

Did you mean 5/16 or 3/8 a 9/16 is a very big bold if a 9/16 wrench fits it then it is usually a 3/8 bolt...:hello:
