Another option for Motor/Engine mounts

[5StarCustmSolutns]

Hey @5StarCustmSolutns
Thanks for highlighting these, how did they work out for you?

Yessir... You're welcome... Least a man can do when he finds someone or something that's doin it right is share

"It" goes around and comes around in life...

A few years back my Lowes bought Camp Haus compressor croaked out on me in the middle of painting my garage door. I'd spent the previous 2 days straightening it out after snagging it with my ladder rack. Barely snagged the thing and you'd thought the Bigfoot truck had been cutting donuts on it.

We were going on vacation in a couple days so I was against the clock.

30 or so minutes later, and without knowledge of my failed compressor, an older wiser friend of mine shows up and says, "Got sometin for you" and points to a compressor pump he had been saving for an ultimate shop air system. I asked "how did you know my AirComp died?" He said "what? "I didn't, but I left here last time thinkin that compressor was on lits last leg...

"Man I cant take that", I said. "You been saving it for several years"

He replies: "Brother if you don't let it come around once and a while, you're gonna F up your balance, upset your chi-flow!"

8 years later that pump still pumping

What a great friend! Upset your chill-flow hahaha.

I did my hydraulic mounts at 85,000 miles. OEM replacements, no harshness, no vibes. Nothing. I'll be happy for another 85,000 miles, rather than attempting to out-do GM engineering. I foresee you guys sitting on a vibration platform bitching about the harshness.

The poly mounts I installed are doing great. Very little minor vibrations that I really don’t notice at all. Wish I’d installed them sooner and I would definitely replace my original mounts with them. They have been on my Yukon about a year now and I drive it daily.

Is this how yours are installed? I did my drivers side today. I took them apart and painted them awhile back and forgot which way the went together. From the pictures on the website it looks like this is right.[/url]

That looks correct but mine are currently still apart from paint also, which is why I haven't ever posted my final thoughts lol... Painted mine gray...
They're curently #2 on my list of things to do next....right behind #1: Install 2nd battery

[ Everything on my list was put on hold for 6.5wks. Blew up my ankle and broke fibula while removing rear bumper and a classV hitch from my truck 7wks ago this morning....SMH
I've been up and moving again for the last few days....thankfully! ...and even though getting up off a creeper, from your back (or your stomach) on smooth concrete, while wearing a walking boot on one leg, at 49yrs old, is.......lets call it a unique challenge, I feel like Ive accomplished a lot already]

To get to that #1. battery project, and I'm almost there! I have to finish the Body Mount Bushing replace project. Which kind of morphed into a "well while I'm already this far in here, and have all this access to the top surface of my frame, I might as well go ahead and use that POR15 bundle of goodness that's been sitting on the shelf for 14-15 months now" project.
In the last few days, I've installed ALL body mounts, and Ive sanded, wire wheeled, washed, dried, degreased, dried, prepped with the POR15 rust remover and etching gel, rinsed thoroughy, dried again, and coated with POR15 the entire frame plus the few rust spots on the underside of the body, fom the rear control arm attachment points back

The project would be completely finished if I could remember the mounting orientation for the ESCM(elec susp cont mod) and the FPCM(fuel pump cont mod).....SMH. In the last two months I've forgotten how it was laid out up there above the spare tire SMH.... I looked at it 7 ways from Sunday last night, and couldn't see the bolt pattern match, see where they lined up?? Maybe was too tired? I'll fig it out

Just picked up my motor mounts and mocked them up, and the way you have them is the only way they will go on and offer any type of controlled movement that I see... I think you got it right....
Curious: did you use silicone grease or similar? I plan to grease the through bolt and lightly, tightly, wrap it with teflon tape then do the same on outside of bushings in hopes of preventing noise down the road? We'll see how that goes?

Thanks for the fast reply. I used super lube silicone grease on the ends of the bushings and on the bolt. I also switched the provided nut out for a nylon nut.

Hopefully that ankle will get better soon for you.

Nylon for sure!

here is a 3:50 vid on how I install poly bushings.. You can skip to 1:30 and save the suspense.. I put skim layer of grease under the tape also

Cant stand the squeaks... One of my buddies from college still makes fun of me for pummeling a styrofoam cooler to death on a hungover morning drive out to the lake 25yrs ago. W/o saying a word, I (rather abruptly) pulled off the road into a front yard, got out, walked to the back of my Explorer, popped the rear glass, delivered 5-6 hammer fists, got back in and proceded on to our destination in peace.....and I'd do it again if necessary lol

...and thank you! almost there.. 52 days, bone should be good.. MRI for ligament/cartilage damage next week
