My 85 BJ60 has been shutting down a bit rough lately and has gotten bad enough that the guy that put my new exhaust on was concerned that I had a bad motor mount. He was concerned that the new exhaust would be damaged. I checked it out and got a couple of other opinions and we settled on it needing a new motor mount on the fromt right side.
The new mount was installed today and it did not solve the problem. I know little to nothing about deisels so I need some advice. Do you think it could be something with the motor or should I just bite the bullet and replace the mount on the other side? I dont want to spend another $140 for nothing and I'm really not convinced that it will help. The rear mount seems fine and the one that was removed didn't show any clear sign of failure. Took the other side mount of also and again don't see any visual signs of damage/wear.
When I shut the truck down it makes a pretty loud thunk and there seems to bit too much sideways torquing going on. Does pretty much the same thing when I start the truck but not as bad of a movement. Help!
