Opinions on Aftermarket Motor Mounts? '07 Yukon XL Denali

[BSarteSr]

I have been shopping for a driver side motor mount for my '07 Yukon XL Denali and looking at the posts here, just wondering if anyone has used the aftermarket motor mounts rather than the GM branded ones?

Found some aftermarket ones that are fairly reasonably priced? Wondering if they hold up?

Does not look like a terribly hard job, done these on other vehicles, looks like once you get the steering column link out, pretty straight forward.

Here are a couple I was looking at:

Just a suggestion here, but why don't you try out the Tahoe PPV/Hummer H3 mounts mentioned in the last two-three pages of the 'Broken Motor Mounts' thread?

OEM GM part that's far better than the stock parts.

So these Hummer motor mounts are direct bolt ins?

Part of the analysis here is the economics of the ones I mentioned?

Yeah they appear to bolt right in based on the feedback in that thread. The cost is 4X the price of those aftermarket mounts though...

The price of the mount should be the last consideration, especially after you go through replacing one. It ain't easy from what I hear. And everything except the Hummer ones just fail again.

After doing this type work for many decades and trying to select the "best" parts, I have found that brand names nor price is the determining factor. I have found many times that the manufacturer parts are also made by the same company but under different names and exactly the same part, but you can buy them at a lower price because you are not paying for the manufacturer logo or name on it.

What is different about the motor mounts that go in the Hummer that make them not fail like the GM (or AC Delco)?

There are pages and pages and pages of info on this already documented. Do some searching and all the answers are there.

Use the link in post #3 here, and go to page 33, post #329 by @NathanJax. Kinda hard not to find.

Insanity: replacing the motor mount over and over again and expecting different results from the same style part.

The difference is the stock mount is a hydraulic mount (it's a rubber bladder filled with fluid) which is supposed to decrease felt vibrations.

The Hummer mount is solid rubber and much less likely to tear and fail.
