Broken motor mount? (1 Viewer)

[alk747triodad]

My fan is hitting the top passenger side of the fan shroud, so before I attempt to fix I would like some advice.
1) Is this a broken motor mount and and if so, which one?
2) Should I replace both?
3) Where should I order them?
4) If not motor mount, what is it?

The only time I have problems with it hitting the shroud is on the trails and the truck is flexing; usually on Daniel. I would like to fix before Logan's Run so any advice/help would be appreciated. You guys know I'm a jack leg mechanic but I do have all the tools needed to fix this problem. I searched mud and read a 2x4 and a bottle jack would pick the engine up to make the replacement possible. I have that!
Advice please?

Kenny

Fan clutch is tight!

I get mine from the dealer myself if that is what it is. Take a close up of both motor mounts please and post them here. Or bring it to the outpost Saturday morning 0745.

Now that's funny! I have to work Sat so I will try the pics first. But if I have to, I'll see you Sat am.

Do this:
1. Put a floor jack underneath the oil pan
2. Put a 2x4 or 4x4 between the jack and oil pan
3. Jack up the motor by the oil pan and see if you can see one of the motor mounts separating


That should show you which motor mount is separated, if either.

Pic of PS motor mount







Pic of DS. Harder to get a good pic





It appears the breather tube is wedged in the mount

Your DS is shot ... it is the one that normally goes first and that's a pretty darn big crack running through the rubber.


Go OEM and call Scott Clark a call for discount


Floor Jack, 4x4 and I think a 19 MM socket is all you need. If you have an engine hoist even better.


don't jack up the motor too much just enough to where you can twist and slide the bad mount out and new on in.

I know it will probably come down to this Johnny, but I have a stupid question. Do you jack the back part of the oil pan that is closer to the ground or the front part?

I usually use a board to span the whole bottom of the pan. No need though. The pic above clearly shows the DS motor mount is toast.

Thanks Insane! I need all the help I can get....I've been wanting to meet you since we are neighbors.

I'm talking with Jeff @ SCT and he faxed me this pic cause his book just says for right hand. ? Almost like both sides are the same mount.

Thoughts?





I'm thinking I need part # 12362. Tell me I'm right!

that looks to be right.

Your drivers side is Left Hand side of the truck though since you have a Left Hand Drive Vehicle.


That shows both DS and PS mounts the one you are looking at appears to be your drivers side mount.

 

[alk747triodad]

Ok That's the part I'm going to order!

And everyone asks what do you get out of your ONSC membership dues...

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Should be around 80 some dollars not including tax.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

And both motor mounts are the same if I am not mistaken. Not for sure on a FJ80 though. Might be a slight difference.

You are correct sir! $ 80.47 + tax + shipping + left nut

Part is on order from West Coast, thanks all...
