Help for Motor Mounts for 93 Dakota PU

Boltons@Teleport.Com 5 May 2005 21:59:04
 Hi Everyone,

I'm looking into changing both motor mounts for my college son's pickup
truck - a dodge Dakota extended cab, 1993. Rear-wheel drive only and
6-cylinder engine.

We took advantage of a free brake inspection (more work needed) and the
Goodyear folks found one of the motor mounts on it's way out (failing).

I won't charge myself nearly as much as they'll charge me, so I'm going
to look into change both of them myself. I FIGURE I'D START WITH THE
experience and expertise of this NEWSGROUP.

Any tips, hints, warnings, "oh shits", whatever will be greatly appreciated.

We bought this truck in 1997 and keeping it up is the cheapest option
right now, for the remaining 1-1/2 years of college for my son. UNLESS
SOMEONE GIVES US A VEHICLE. It's hard to beat free...

Thanks in advance,

Hez of the Pacific NW

 first off, make sure it's really 'on its way out (failing)'

if I had a buck for every 'problem' those places have claimed existed on
vehicles, I'd retire

 Hi TranSurgeon,

Your point is well taken. However, my son reports that he hears and
feels the thumpping of the motor when he accelerates at medium speeds
for sure and other times when he's not paying that much attention.
At any rate, I'm game for screwing nuts and bolts to replace one if not
both. I'm just hoping I'm not running into a hornet's nest by thinking
this should be a fairly simple job.
Any tips, hints, whatevers are all welcomed.

Thanks,
Hez of the Pacific NW
