Are there any tips to the easiest/fastest way to change motor mounts on a 2wd 2005 Silverado. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but truck has a trick turbo kit installed and it's a VHO so it's got the 4wd chassis with torsion bars.

 

my guess is

take wheels off
take inner fenders out
take hood off
use engine lift and lift the engine some
unscrew mounts
put new in
reverse

 

Ok maybe I should have just asked these question. It's my only vehicle so I hate getting into things that turn out to be more involved than I expected.

1) Is the oil pan strong enough to lift the motor if I put a block of wood and jack under it?

2) My downpipe is really close to the floor of my truck in one spot, how far do i need to lift the motor to get the motor mounts out.

Also who makes a good replacement motor mount Orielly's sells Anchor, Autozone sells Duralast, and Napa sells Balkamp. Is there is something better than any of those?

 

not sure on the oil pan. you shouldn't have to lift it far as you mostly just need to take pressure off the mount to slide it out. just do one side at a time.

 

use a board in between pan and jack. you will be fine.
One side at a time.
