the GM mounts he said are @$110 each
??? :lol: Stock motor mounts cost about $15 bucks each.
$15 BUCKS??? Where?!? I went to the Chevy dealership where he ordered them -because I saw the truck pull up to deliver the mounts before I got picked up- and they are $119.00 each.
I'm sure I could order aftermarket for @$60 from like Autozone or something but I'm going for as much OEM as I can for this Ty. even though it will be more expensive in the long run.

if you get them replaced make sure you add a tie down strap, or your gonna be doing the same thing again next year.
mrking01 thx for replying. Yea I have no choice since its there now, hopefully he does a good job and I did stick around to see the GM dealer delivery truck bring OEM motor mounts like I told him.
Thx E-RUE for the reply. I still have the parts I got from homedepot to make a strap I just didn't realize how insanely (is that a word?
) bad the mounts were otherwise I would of had it on a couple months ago
The driverside mount is totally useless, torn completely in two. The passenger side was cracked aswell but as you know doesnt get the twist under throttle like the driver side.
I actually went to this guy so he could check my drivetrain for a clunk noise when I come to stops. It happens almost all the time when I'm in "D" but when I'm in "OD" I don't even think it happened once! When I installed the front swaybar I grabbed the halfshaft/driveshaft and I found out that the transfercase sounds like its making the clunk I'm hearing. Ok, so I take it to this guy who -for free- puts the car up with his worker inside who puts the car in D then N then D then N etc etc. Sure enough the transfercase is clunking. He said its rebuildable, but I heard either its not rebuildable or its not worth rebuilding something like that. Anyway thats when we also saw the engine twist like a 2" gap between the two halves of the driverside motormount. So I told him to change the motormounts first. He wants another $200 just to remove and open up the transfercase. I said "I cant do it this week because I'm very busy maybe next week we can do that." So thats where I'm at now. Car will be ready he said @10AM tomorrow with new OEM mmounts.
What do you all think about the transfercase? The one thats in there now has already been rebuilt because I can see blue silicone sealer between the two halves. Whats a reasonable price?
