@cucvrus Rick I already ordered the Transmission Mount. I’m thinking we should change that too?
Is it hard to change this? Will it require any special tools, etc.?

@cucvrus Hey Rick!
The Bad News is we bent the oil pan while raising the engine to replace the Motor Mounts. We got the Drivers Side fine, but it bent while doing the Passengers Side Motor Mount.
I have a mobile mechanic doing the work, I told him not to do it that way but no he didn’t...
@cucvrus Hey Rick! I now have both sets of Energy Suspension Motor Mounts. I will be taking them out of the packages, very carefully so I can send one back.
I can tell you off hand, the 3.1116G type are more rounded around the edges and slightly thinner. I can see that through the clear...
We just installed a new Water Pump and a few other items. In the process we had to remove the Belts for the Power Steering Pump, etc.
After putting things back together, I heard a rattling sound from the Power Steering Pump. The Bolt that tightens the Power Steering Pump onto the Bracket...
@87cr250r look at that, there’s a different version of the Zep Orange Cleaner here in Commifornia. It’s probably not as powerful as the version available in Free States, but still worth a try.

@cucvrus Rick I went ahead and ordered the second type of Mounts. I would like to compare them.
I can just send back which ever one I don’t use. I’ll let you know.

@cucvrus Great Question Rick.
@chevymike that’s also a great point about the transmission mount. I will have to consider that for sure.
Thank you!

Quick Question About Cleaning my 6.2 Engine. We just replaced a few Gasket and Seals for my CUCV M1009, 6.2L.
I would like to clean the engine to determine that the leaks have stopped.
What is the Best and Safest way to clean my engine? I don’t want to crack the block, destroy any...
I ended up ordering a pair of the Polyurethane types from Rock Auto.

My M1009 (6.2 Diesel) needs to have the Motor Mounts replaced.
What Brand/Type do you recommend? Any Links to the product please.
Thank you in advance!

@Mainsail I also have noticed it’s ft./lb. for other screws and bolts in various places.
It seems that it’s both, so maybe I should just get 2 Torque Wrenches: one for in./lb. and another for ft./lb.
They are not expensive about $30 each.

@Mainsail wow!! I didn’t realize that at all! Thank you.
With that in mind, does this Wrench look correct?

Quick Question about my M1009 6.2 Engine: (I’m still learning, so bare with me) I’ve never used a Torque Wrench, but I would like to use one for the bolts for the Oil Pan. I have a small oil leak and am thinking I can properly tighten those up first. I’m hoping that will stop the leak.
I found...
