Best video I've found on YT to do this for a 4wd, had it done in two hours tops, thanks for the video!
Thank you for viewing! I am glad I can help. I found a ton of videos for just the 2 wheels drive vehicles but not many good ones for the 4wd/AWD. Cheers!
Thank you for the instruction, and thanks for keeping it real! I loved your daughter photo bombing the beginning of the video and seeing your stool slip out from under your feet; both things I've actually experienced! The steering shaft made all the difference for me (2013 4x4 Avalanche). If I had done that in the beginning, I think I could have shaved off an hour or more from this job. Thanks again!
You are welcome! She was and still is my videographer! The stool is a constant problem for me, short guy problems!
Just wanted to thank you for the video. Changed my LH mount in about 2hrs and lots of water in the Texas heat! Only thing I did different was to remove the steering shaft first and didn’t have to remove the support beam. Just carefully jacked the engine behind it. Otherwise, went step by step with your video.
Glad it helped!
Great video man!! Doing this project today!!! Although I'm putting new poly mounts from Atomic Fabrication & Performance, if anyone is looking for GREAT quality mounts and MADE IN THE USA (Alabama), take a look at this guys product! Its a little more then other options, but the quality by far is better then anything I have seen, TBD how they perform but I'm confident they will!
How did the Poly Mounts hold up?
Watching the stool fall out from under you was classic!! Happens all the time to me and then the great French words begin flying!!
Happens almost every damn time I work on full siz trucks or SUVs
Man i just spent 2k on a whole new brake system and they called me with the broken motor mount call. I'm going to try doing it myself after watching this! Loved the video and I subscribed. Thanks
I hoped this helped!
I got the Atomic Fabrication and Performance GMT 900 motor mount, will be way easier to put in and lifetime warranty
Thank you! I have to do this tomorrow, you saved me a lot of learning curve.
You are welcome! Please feel free to message if you get hung up! I will do my best to answer quickly!
I'm also doing mine tomorrow. How long did the replacement take? Couple hours?
@@kovang6075 took me a few hours start to finish.
For anyone struggling with this, I had good success with these instructions except that I was unable to remove the steering shaft. Here's what I did:
-Disconnect negative terminal on battery.
-Disconnect alternator.
-Disconnect wire harness guide attached near alternator.
-Disconnect engine coolant sensor.
-Detach the power steering/alternator aluminum plate modular assembly by removing the 4 front bolts, and one bolt from the power-steering bracket.
(You should be able to maneuver this assembly up and out of the way by resting it on the optional second battery tray.)
-At this point, you'll be a lot more free to get to the first three bolts.
*I used a combination of two 3-in extensions, two 6-inch extensions, one universal joint socket adapter, and a standard depth 15mm socket. A breaker bar also helps a lot here. *
-Remove driver-front wheel with car on low jackstand under frame rail.
-Jack up the engine from the corner of the catalytic converter.
Now. All four block bolts should be relatively easy to get to from the wheel well with the right combination of extensions and the universal joint socket adapter. The only exception will be the bottom left, and I recommend coming in from under the front and using a 3-in extension (no universal) for that one.
- Roll the mount to free it, then pull it forward, past the steering shaft and out where the power steering pump normally goes.
Repeat in reverse to mount the new one. Good luck! It took me about 4 hours of actual working time to get it done.
Took me around 4 hours to read all the excess work you put in..
Great Video, very informative ! About to change the mounts for my 2008 chevy silverado 4x4, and now I can get into it with some confidence thanks for the video.
I am glad I could help!
Awesome job my man!! Best auto repair video I've seen on TH-cam
The only thing I could mention would be mentioning the torque specs but only bc im crazy about them
Thank you so much for the feedback! I plan on adding torque specs and the tools needed to do the job, in future videos.@@krisevans7530
@@excelsiorautoservices were you loosening the 3 frame bolts for the passenger side at the beginning on the stool to give you the play for lift needed?
Thanks for the video. Really helped.
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the help with this one. Great video
I opted for the heat shield delete on the driver side with removing the inner fender well. I doubt ill own my 09 two years from now and if i still do and it needs replacing, it will be much easier to remove and replace.
That was a very good mechanics video
Thank you! I have some more in the works!
Very helpful 👌
Awesome video sir, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the great video
You are welcome!
Is it the same mount part number for both sides?
They are different part numbers
Any video for the passenger side mount?
I don't currently have a video out for that but it is nearly the same process minus the steering shaft bit.
Did you have to loosen the passenger side motor mount to lift the engine?
I did not in this particular case but it doesn't hurt to loosen it up just a bit.
Did you have to remove the manifold heatshield?
The subject vehicle didn't have manifold heat shielding if I remember correctly.
The top bolts were the worst but this wasn't the most difficult job to do.
This took me 4 hours on the driver side mount, that bottom rear bolt was a pain in the ass to remove and put back on.
I had to take a beer breaks during the course of the job
There are way easier ways to take this out and the motor mounts are $60 new for a pair with the heat shield and the passenger side u will have to remove the wheel and wheel cover best way I've changed like over 100 of these takes you about 3 hrs experienced inexperienced like 4 to 5 hrs if u take that cross bar out you can definitely take it out thru the bottom without removing the steering wheel column
any tips/tricks on replacing the passenger side mount.? I already paid a shop to replace my driver's side motor mount, but the labor quote the shop quoted me for the passenger side is too much. I would like to try and tackle myself. Thanks
@curtboxley7678 yeah bro jack it up , and remove the passenger tire and remove the wheel cover only if u want extra room once lifted you should a clear and ez shot to remove it. Way more room on that side. Trick if u have an extra jack or a jack stand make it a little easier all u do is jack it place your jack stand and break your bolts loose on the mount and remove them , then place your under the motor find a small piece of wood like 5 to 8 inches could be a piece of 2x4 and place it on the jack where u will lift the motor only a tad bit the is so u don't damage anything just to be safe, but u will literally lift it a tad bit u will see how ez it will be to put the new one in with no problem bro one hand threaded lower the jack slightly just to for support now and tighten your bolts and you should be good to go. It's super easy bro save your money and do it yourself is the smart move 👌🏼 and if you do find yourself lost or confused theirs a few videos out there just find the ones where they remove the passenger tire gives u a straight clean shot too it bro , good luck and always be safe 🙏🏽💯
@@CHIRAQSAVAG3 thanks. I saw another video where the guy removed the starter...is that necessary?
@curtboxley7678 no I wouldn't thats really not necessary they probably only did that just to be extra and open it all up but it truly comes out without even touching the starter
Any tips on how to remove the 2 bolts closer to the fire wall that are bolted to the motor?
If they are hard to get out, I would highly suggest soaking them in PB Blast for a day!
Man I have been trying to get that last bolt for the last hour and I’m stuck 😢😢 hoping I get it out soon
Were you able to complete the job?
I just got my kit but they didn’t send me new bolts can I reuse my old bolts?
Yes you can reuse the old bolts, just make sure the threads are in good condition!
Sorry for the late response!
Always check the expiration date on those bolts..even car seats are no longer good after a year.
The easiest way is lifting the engine little bit from the bottom
Wow 15mm is a huuuuge bolt, or are you talking about head size?
Socket size is 15mm
Just did both sides it was not fun at all and took me like 4 hours, I am also a professional mechanic w/ 30 grand in tools 😅
The driver's side is a real pain, especially if it is 4wd/awd!
any tips or tricks to replace the passenger side motor mount? I already paid a shop to replace the driver's side mount and the transmission mount, but the labor cost to replace the passenger side was just too expensive.
This video is backwards.
Most of my videos are backwards as I was shooting with my phone via forward facing camera.
Take off the stupid heat shield. Makes it easy
Makes em fail twice as fast
Taking off the heat shield is insanity. Broken parts need just as much love and attention.
What a pain in the ass.. I did on my 2011 gmc sierra 4x4.. kinda simple to do it but time consuming fore sure.. I had to be very very VERY patience to do it. Some cuss words for sure...
I did a fair bit of editing on the video for that exact reason!
So passenger side would be easier?
Passenger side is far easier but rarely fails like the drivers side. The drivers side fails far more often due to the direction the motor rotates and the torque.
@@excelsiorautoservices great 👍
Is heat shields on the mount and exhaust manifold necessary?
@@excelsiorautoservices I get what you are saying, but is it not a good idea to replace the passenger side if the driver's side failed, was broken? putting more stress on the passenger side mount.
