Can I Replace The Driver Side MotorMount With Engine In The Truck? I am about to move in the next few days and have very little time to do anything. Can It be done eaisly without pulling the motor?


Thanks

if you can even get the thing off, my passenger side motor mount was crushed, we had to just jack the engine up out of the truck with the lift and tear the thing off.

if you can get it off, I imagine you can get a friend of 2 to hold the engine towards the driver side while you run the new bolts in, heh, thats what I'd do, but I dunno if thats safe lol

jack up engine carefully from under neath and unbolt the mounts fromt he block and reomve the 5/8" head through bolt up underneat the frame tree bracket and replace it, easy to do without removing engine, as long as you can get the bolts removed and reinstalled, sometimes is a pain in the %$#@! to restart the bolts,

Sounds like a plan thanks.

Oh, whats the best point to jack it up from?

I like to hook em with a chain & use the picker,but if you dont have a picker, you can work from the bottom. Probably the best would be to lift at the balancer(use a block of wood between the jack & balancer). When you are up high enough,I would slip a 2x6 between the front of the pan & the crossmember,then let the jack down. BE CAREFUL.......69 longhorn.
