Since we are on the motor mount topic now, what kind of miles are you guys getting out of them? I'm sure it's a subjective questions depending on abuse, what the truck typically hauls, and terrain/environment among others, but curious to know who's had them replaced and approx mileage.

I'm considering replacing mine when I shut down in Dec as part of a preventative maint item. They'll most likely have 550k-ish at that point. From what I remember, when Rawze and I were looking at the history of the old engine, it certainly looked abused!

Personally, I think that would be a smart move to PM those parts. I did my mounts on that first in frame of mine, 700,000 miles and glad I did. Don't forget the cab mounts too, I did those on the second in frame and it was beyond time. They were shot.

These new trucks are 500,000 miles throw away units, so anything you can do here and there is a good idea. My women always bitch at me for spending money on the truck, but it is better to replace these parts on my terms, not the truck's when it is sitting on the side of the road.

Thankfully I am to the point now that the front end is about all I have left, and I will start buying those parts in a few weeks, get ahead of that repair/failure, and hopefully catch it before it is time. I know I am there with just a hair over one million miles.

And ditto on the threads that start and never give an answer/conclusion...
