Good video. Just replaced mine today. Easiest way was to remove steering shaft, fender well. Have more room to work. Take tire off and put on jack stands. Then use floor jack under oil pan with 2x4 in between to lift motor. Easy access to 15mm bolts. Was hard as shit at first but got it finally. Shop wanted 2800 to replace both. Parts were $89 ea at oreilleys.
Hey Willy just did all three, the transmission mount you don't have to remove cross member just loosen the 1 15mm nut in the middle of cross member hole and jack transmission up to reveal the other two that are long but doable. Good job sir.
Hello Jen, The truck would make a deep thumping sound under acceleration from a stop. This noise was caused by the too much engine movement. It’s kinda hard to diagnose but you need to lift the engine slightly and watch the mounts. Thanks for watching!!
Good stuff Willy. Motor mounts on this trucks take time but patience. On the trans mount you don’t have to take off the middle crossmember just loosen the bolts and lift the trans. Go with poly mounts.
The exhaust can be pushed upwards at those bolts and the bolts will slide right out. You can also take that middle nut off and jack the transmission up and take the other two bolts off and change it that way too.
Hello Kurtis, Thanks for your suggestion. It may help make the job be easier for the next viewer! I appreciate all comments especially the ones with other ways to do the work. Thanks for watching!!
Just done this I did it all with taken out the inner fender and removed started and there is a sensor between the mount and started note to self just remove it till they are in
Hello Abraham, Yes there was definitely a thump noise at take off. I first thought it was a bushing in the rear springs cause sounded like it was coming from the back. But as you see in the video both mounts were broke causing the engine to lift under load. Thanks for watching!!
@@DIYWilly I'm still confused at mine because it's a thump noise when going to a stop or when taking off I used to think it was my rotors warped so I swapped them out . Was the thump constantly or just sometimes ? My engine also is starting to twist when I go from d to reverse
@@abrahamreyes3340 From what you have described I would say you engine mounts are broke. Try lifting up on the engine carefully and see if it lifts up with a well placed Jack or pry bar. Can’t stress enough be careful how you leverage things not to brake them and cause other serious problems.
Those motor mounts break all the time do yourself a favor order the solid motor mounts from Summit for $339 before tax and shipping you will never have to do it again I just changed mine yesterday and now I'm about to put long tube headers on it I had my stock manifolds off which made my motor mounts a little bit easier but it was still a pain in the butt thanks for reading

Hello J.M Robbins, Sounds like a good process and a great suggestion. Thanks for watching!!
Great video, thanks Willie! I've decided to let a shop install new motor mounts on my 2009 Tahoe. That job exceeds my capabilities!
Hello Michael, So glad you liked the video and it helped you in your decision. Good luck with the replacement! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the heads up. I still need to change the transmission mount.
I like your style willy nice job, i appreciated the final clip at the end!
I hope the video helped you. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video. Will be replacing h2 hummer motor mount soon.
Hello, Don’t know if the job is similar but I hope it helps you. Good luck! Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for the video.. question..What were the symptoms that led you to the motor mount?
Hello Jen, The truck would make a deep thumping sound under acceleration from a stop. This noise was caused by the too much engine movement. It’s kinda hard to diagnose but you need to lift the engine slightly and watch the mounts. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks bro....doing this as soon as parts get delivered....
Hello Justin, Glad you liked the video. Good luck with the repair. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching!!
I was told today my left mount is broken. Anyone happen to have the correct part numbers for AC DELCO
Here is the part number from my video
GM 15854940
That number is for both I believe.
Good luck
Great job I got a better understanding now

I haven’t installed it yet. Good to know. Thanks for watching.

I did the drivers side on mine. Which side is harder to do?
You did the easy one. The left side or passenger was the most difficult in my opinion. Mush easier if you take the mount apart though
You recommended GMC/AC Delco part?
Hello, Yes sir for the amount of work this is I suggest using quality parts. Thanks for watching!!
@@DIYWilly appreciate the response!

Harbor freight 20% coupons are not forgotten, but have been missed
well done sir.
Thank you and Thanks for watching.
U should try doing it on a 4 wheel drive 😅 that’s a nightmare..
I agree the front differential would present a problem making much harder to change the mounts. Thanks for watching!!

shouldve used another swivel on each end of the shortest extension, then that short extension with swivels on each end holds the socket
Got’er done!! Thanks for watching!!
Love. It
Hello Michael, Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!!
Perfect! ty
Thanks for watching!
Probably makes the job 1,000 times easier by taking 10 minutes to remove the exaust manifold
Hello Glenwood, Yes it would be easier with removal of the exhaust manifolds. But it can be done leaving them in place. Thanks for watching!!
Where’d you get the gold wrench??
Hello Ernesto, I bought the wrenches in a set with different colors. Thanks for watching!

I know they break often. I will do something different next time. I would also like the headers on my truck.
Good👍
Thank you

Definitely with more parts to get in the way. Thanks for watching!!
