    i just replaced mine (part number 12361-62090) and just wanted to point out that when putting the new ones in, to just tighten the mount to motor bolt snug so that you can still have some play to adjust and line up the holes on the mount to frame...thats where i was caught up. also, youre gonna need to remove the fan shroud because i had to jack my motor up pretty high to where i could hear the air intake tube moving (rubber squeaks). passenger side was easier but the driver side wasnt all that bad either, just remove the loomed wiring by depressing the tab so the driver side is accessed easier. and of course wheels should come off and mud flaps removed for better access. i used my floor jack and a rubber slipper as padding under the front side of the oil pan to lift the motor.

    oh and smaller hands help but busting those nuts loose might need some strength especially due to the angles and ish.

    also, is there a difference between the 5 lug and 6 lug mounts?

    im chasing a small driveline vibration, so its a process of elimination deal...and i figured the mounts are worn with 178k mi on em (assuming they havent been changed), although its good i did because i see some slight separation where the rubber meets the metal on both mounts. i have yet to test drive it to see if the vibration has lessened or hopefully eliminated.

    oh and flex head ratchet helpls alot in this install i forgot to mention. have one on deck

    thanks for the write up. Did it fix your vibration?
