I tried with my dry rag, it may come off with cleaning agents. If it was just from rusty water, the residue would have shown on the rag.

There is a guy that's developing some mounts right now as we speak. He told me they will be available very soon. I'll try not to bug him. He made some very good mounts for my 99 trans am and they were so good I asked him if he could make some for our trucks.

Please keep us updated. I'm collecting stuff to make my own mounts, but I have no problems buying someone else's design if it's worth it.

Ok I surely will
I talked with chevy customer service today. They deny there is anything wrong with the design of these mounts. There wording is that there is no known defect or design deficiency with the motor mounts for these vehicles. Further they actually claimed very few of them fail. Sounds like it is time for us to find a law firm that wants to take a class action lawsuit. This forum alone probably provides enough proof to win the case. @gm @CHEVY you paying attention we are fed up and not talking the abuse anymore

Yep 205 posts here and just like the cracked dash issues for our NNBS as well. Not an issue either, even as I have 3 at 20K. lol. Keep us posted on that motor mount fab work.
Looked at a couple youtube videos but for those who have done it themselves... 4x4 guys, what do you find is the easiest method to get to the engine-side bolts on the driver side? I was looking at all the angles and I'm not 100% sure how to attack it.

Little more challenging if you have engine cooler ...
Ok... swapped out the broken driver side mount last night. I see now why they want $1200 for this kind of thing. It wasn't hard, just and exercise in getting the right combination of extensions and sockets to get the thing in/out. My hands hurt so dang bad today it's unbelievable.

should write up a list of what tool combination they used. 
should write up a list of what tool combination they used. Just what I need... more work. Maybe tomorrow.Somebody
Some one lives in CA should contact Energy Suspension and let them develop an replacement engine mount for those trucks.

Trans dapt has LS swap mounts. I wonder if the motor mounts that they use would work. They look like they are made better. Any one ever dealt with them?

Isnt that the truth!!!!! just did my drivers side and good god, what a clsuter F*@$ it was trying to get out and new one back in. what a PITA. Hopefully my passanger side doesnt go out. I know the drivers side is very common.
Just don't do burnouts in reverse and your probably good for a while.

Well, I did a write up on my 6 hour saga changing the driver side mount. Probably a bad one but here it is. (Tools included)

I think some dealerships discounted labor for some people, but I doubt that had anything to do with GM corporate. It was more of a goodwill motion by the dealer, probably to maintain a good relationship with a few customers. That's great for those fortunate few, but they still have the same ****** mounts that were installed from the factory. They may last 100,000 miles or far, far less.
