So Ive been noticing when I put my truck in R that my hotside pipe randomly touches the hydraboost/master cylinder and rattles. Now I plan on shortening the pipe as its slightly long, but this is only part of my issue. I also noticed that when I shut the truck off that regardless of what tune im on that the truck shakes violently side to side. My guess is that I possibly have a torn or tearing motor mount. Ive looked around and read on the bolting of the stock mount, but I don't have access to an engine hoist...how would one go about getting the mounts out?
I've changed them, not fun but very possible. Last one I did took about 2 hours.
Jack up driver front and remove wheel, set jackstand on frame by cab mount, remove inner fender, remove I/c pipe, turn steering wheel 1/4 turn left from center and secure steering wheel with seat belt. Remove steering shaft bolt and slide apart letting steering shaft lay inside the frame.
The next part is the tricky part. Take the bottom 3 bolts out of the engine mount (frame side). Then you can use an engine house to lift up the driver side of the engine a little or stick a floor jack under your truck with a 2x4 slid up through the maze and sitting on the corner of the oil pan (where it bolts to the block, that flange). Raise up slightly and remove the 4 top bolts to the block then raise up enough to slide the mount out forward.
Reverse to install.
Getting the old torn out is a lot easier than the new single piece one in.
