2007 Chevy Tahoe motor mount replacement (The easy way) 2wd only

[@robertthornton659]

one of the BEST damn video on how to removed a motor mount ty big bro

[@KARSRUSKING]

Robert Thornton any time bro let me know if u need any other videos

[@gabrielmyers1227]

Baw you made that look a little to easy! But I got it done though, it’s nice to have someone who’s not in a shop with a lift and all the fancy stuff show you how to get it done in the real world, big help

[@ThePrincesselise06]

Right this was the best way for me to view it being done because all I have is my tools, jack stands and my two hands! I changed my windshield wiper motor my stabilizer links 02 sensor on my own because of wonderful people like him.

[@percymcbeath1234]

I also have a 07 chevy tahoe but I think I gave them the wrong engine size when I bought my engine mount but I haven't installed it yet I don't know if it's a 5.3 or 8 litter engine

[@moncier77]

Thanks bro! This helped me out a lot with removal. You are more realistic than those shop guys that have all the expensive crap.

[@carlosrjr1973]

Great video! Watched it, bought the part, and from the time I popped the hood till I lowered the Tahoe it took me 1-1/2 hours. That’s saying something considering I’m 6’2”_370lbs. Not that I can’t get around but definitely harder for me to get my big ass, hands, and arms into tight spots. Again thanks brother!!!!

[@justinrampersaud1948]

Should mention I'm the title it's a 2wd tahoe. The 4wd vehicles are much more tighter.

[@matthewbyars7171]

BEST video on this I’ve seen. Thank you for explaining what tools you were using in advance and being so thorough! I am definitely subscribing to your channel. Again, thank you, sir!

[@racingfreak1337]

wouldnt the pressure on the cats break the studs on the manifold?

[@2491kridge]

Personally wouldn’t lift all that weight off the cat that’s a lot of stress to be putting on the exhaust manifold to crack, if you life off the corner of the pan where it dips under the subframe it’s very solid in the corners, but hey to each their own if it works for you. Did one earlier today was an 07 Denali with 4x4 and did both mounts and man was that a fucking headache lol

[@KARSRUSKING]

2491kridge tried that way your talking about before the oil Pan got smushed in and had the truck knocking became a whole another job there for I used all data that recommend the way it two or three jacks up not much pressure at all for the 30 seconds it’s going to be up as you can see in the video no damages no struggles quick fast easy professional thanks for your opinions more videos to come like subscribe comment

[@nickthenewb131]

Thanks man! I feel more confident about being able to replace the mount on my Avalanche.

[@imnotawasteoftime]

Took a little longer than expected, but would've taken much longer, and been more stressful without this video. Only needed the swivel to break loose the 2 short bolts on the inside of the heat shield. Managed to loosen them the rest of the way with a short socket and normal size 3/8 ratchet, no extensions. The middle of the 3 bolts can be loosened more easily with multiple extensions from the top, no swivel. The two on the sides aren't that bad at all from underneath like you showed. Power tools are pretty much useless. (At least for the driver side, haven't done passenger yet.) Installed BFW motor mounts. Comparable to the AFP mounts. MUCH easier to slide back in, and easier to tighten the bolts also.

[@gregoryzischke1843]

My motor mount broke then the oil pan rested on the tranfer tube on the rack and pinion and damaged that. My question is can i replace that fluid transfer tube on top of the rack and pinion without removing the whole rack and pinion assembly? Thanks man!!

[@jim4135]

Dude you saved me a ton of time. Thanx.

[@JohnDoe-qe8kw]

Beautiful video🤙 this video made this a breeze. Keep on keeping on brother.💯

[@dewaynemiguel3349]

Why are so many of these vehicles needing motor mounts sounds like a defect I've put 100s of thousands of miles on vehicles and millions of miles on 18 wheelers and only had 1 motor mount fail it was on a 900 hp peterbuilt and it went bad about 700k miles

[@tomdale1735]

Sure 2wd is cake ... show with 4wd....🤔

[@KARSRUSKING]

Will make sure to post when I do one

[@Lilantfive10]

Very helpful bro,just changed out my 07 Chevy Tahoe motor mount,who knows how many part of the frame I would’ve taken out just to get to the mount,thanks for the vid

[@JJJobson]

So raising the motor under the catalytic converter won’t damage it right? I always worry about putting pressure on that oil pan as well. Thanks for the video. Going to attempt this soon

[@KARSRUSKING]

It’s not as much pressure as u think I have done many this way quick easy and harmless

[@patricknow9261]

Oh dam,this shit goes hard in the paint. Definitely a perfect way to get it done fast

[@JUNEYSKI90002]

Thanks, Bro! I have been looking for this!

[@KARSRUSKING]

No problem!

[@evielknievel4972]

This is what I was looking for. A video with normal ramps , jack and just regular hand tools. I have all that! The others use lifts and power tools .

[@KARSRUSKING]

I have lifts and all of that too but I try to keep it as diy as possible to help others looking to do it on their own

[@Pr0jectGloYT]

My problem was that I was lifting it from after the cat. Once I lifted it up from the cat the engine was able to come up more. Went in quick . Great video

[@ClanMcKay]

great video - the cat jack point was right on point!!

[@cportmikesautomotiverepair1355]

Dame you got the best video for these mounts I had to leave the heat shield off man that shit was a night mare installing them back in

[@macbook802]

I dont get it, theres two yet everyone always does 1. Wouldn't the one keep going bad if you don't do both

[@KARSRUSKING]

Of course but some people only have the money or time to take care of what will get them moving

[@macbook802]

@@KARSRUSKING well I just did mine yesterday and it was a shit show. People who are doing both motor mounts and trans mount are still reporting breaking the driver side in a year. The factory fluid filled mounts are garbage. Summit racing has standard rubber isolated mounts that I will get if mine breaks again

[@KrystleVoss2013]

Are u the wife

[@WaqarAli-zg3wb]

Simple as 1 2 3, A very very good video.

[@johndurante2322]

You might break the bolts from the manifold exhaust system.

[@KARSRUSKING]

They will not brake your the bolts are grade 8and the exhaust and manifold are resting upon one another the force being used in not much

[@Francg43]

Thank you for showing a realistic example of how someone can fix their truck without a shops equipment

[@puffy469]

I have a question is the procedure the same for the passenger side

[@ajax3630]

I thought this was something I was going to be able to do myself..... wrong!! Lol I have a fear of being under a vehicle, thought it was on top. However, it was informative to watch 👍🏽🤗

[@V3_dreams]

There are a couple videos around of people doing it all from the top but it looks much more difficult. Also includes them jacking up from the oil pan as well.

[@SelfPreservation7]

Was your Instagram?

[@oscalito761]

Thank you a bunch sir! I watched several videos and yours was on the money, saved me. The bolts were a pita even with elbow socket but got it done. Again thank you for sharing.

[@whiskeyactual.]

Thanks, about to order the mounts and a set of ramps for my Denali!

[@67akhunter]

That was awesome! We didnt watch it until after i changed mine . This was fast and easy. I didnt undo the steering but i took the tire off and went thru the wheelwell ! Great job

[@KARSRUSKING]

Great to hear!

[@eglover177]

My Man my Respect I watched you come up keep striving

[@harvray]

Right on my man, I'm gonna give it a shot. I have a 2007 Suburban and when I hit the gas taking off I'm pretty sure it's the motor mount that I feel knocking. I don't know for sure yet but I'm going to check it out thanks again

[@damnurface]

My same issue and I'm thinking its this mount as well

[@extremeauto6238]

Noooo ... I mean everyone has own way ..but bad idea on cat ... U damage cat u have more problems ..iv always put block under pan. ..ull b fine

[@jaworskilodge4585]

Great job.. everything was clear and straight to the point, very helpful 👍

[@javilaca12345]

Amazing video man great job. What would something like(the work) this cost more less?

[@geovanniirizarry6952]

Ive got a quote from a shop for my Silverado.. I was told $485 to replace

[@chevy0771]

Where you located at and how much you charge to do this? I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 4 x 4 and it looks like a pain in da ass to do. My driver side is bad

[@oliviamoon9546]

Thank you for the video fast and easy !!!

[@KARSRUSKING]

You're welcome!

[@kevin4165178]

Got it done in 3 hours. I had a hell of a time getting the new part in but eventually got it . Thanks!

[@likeasoldier]

I was going have this done because all the fancy stuff but I have all the same setup u do going end up doing myself, thanks for posting

[@j.gtheautotech8455]

When you bent the oil pan the first time, did you have a block of wood between the pan and the floor jack? Curious cus all data says lift from oil pan and other says dont lift from oil pan. all 5.3l chevy tahoe and silverado different years tho.. the engine oil pan should be the same from all i believe. I think i replace both mounts at same time with a wooden block before.. idk man dont wanna be liable for a bent oil pan either... btw like how you didnt hide your mistake the first time jackking it from the pan. but was there a wooden block or not?

[@terryferguson1909]

Thanks for the video. Took me a little longer than it should have. Ordered my motor mount off Amazon. Won't make that mistake again. Cheaper is not better. The top holes in the heat shield were off and I kind of struggled until I reached for my Big hammer and beat it into submission. Saved a few bucks doing it myself. Thanks again.

[@ridleyreese1]

Thank you. I was stressing this job without an engine hoist.

[@mr.selfdestruct1677]

Does this process apply to 2012 Silverado ?

[@AzMetalScorpion]

How the hell did you that motor mount out so smoothly like that? I keep being told that I have to lift the engine, jack a block underneath the oil pan, life the catalytic converter and I can't even get the old one out with my pry bar. What am I doing wrong?

[@Lilantfive10]

Very helpful bro,just changed out my 07 Chevy Tahoe motor mount,who knows how many part of the frame I would’ve taken out just to get to the mount,thanks for the vid

[@andrewsims7182]

Mine was 4wd. Had to get everything from the top. And removed 1 joint on steering shaft

[@mirandanave]

I changed my motor mount now it wont start? What sensor is that by the motor mount? I need help!

[@nickboies199]

Thanks mine just broke yesterday. Supper helpful other people were saying taking the trans bracket off. This will save alot of time.. grate video

[@ladypup0405]

Great video. Helped me knock out mine today. Diggin the haircut.

[@txmade72]

Is both sides that easy

[@txmade72]

@CARS R US

[@joegarza567]

Good video man. I was skeptical about the jack on the catalytic converter. But held fine. I removed the heat shroud from my mount just because it made the angles a little more difficult. I did a decent amount from in the hood too. Haven't decided if I want to touch the passenger side yet... that one looks way worse.

[@stevencogar7393]

Also are you still working on cars? I see your comments were from a few years ago.

[@KARSRUSKING]

I am still working on cars. I had to take a little break so I can graduate college to become a master technician graduated March 10, 2023. I am in the middle of opening up my own shop/car dealership. I should start posting in the next month or so on the progress.

[@stevencogar7393]

congratulation on the schooling. Dealership wow that's a lot of responsibility. How will you find the time to get your hands dirty.

[@KARSRUSKING]

@@stevencogar7393 I love what I do my hands will say dirty lol the vehicles I buy and sale will be maintenance and maintained by me along with working on the general Public vehicles as well until my business grows, and I can add people on the team that have the love for vehicles just the same

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

Good job , sir! Thank you!

[@homeconfined88]

My dude. Thanks so much for your video. I did this job today, and watching your video made me see the mistakes I was having. I am coming to your videos first from now on. All the other videos no one showed putting the motor mount back in. It just appeared in like magic. Mine didn't go in like magic, and I was pissed. But now I see where I was wrong. Thanks so much!

[@bermbuster6]

Good job thanks for video! I got er’ done!

[@robertkowal323]

they are bolts not screws.

[@datsall4now]

Great video,Thank you for posting

[@IrvingtonArms]

You sir, are THE MAN. I have one of these coming up on my wifes Tahoe.... I couldn't figure out how to lift the motor and KNOW BETEER than to lift via the oil pan.

[@5speediroc]

Great to see how to do things without a lift. I'm getting ready to pull the engine in my 08 sierra and the heat shield had me baffled. I'm going to take the motor mounts out with the engine. it will help me line it up when I put it back in. Thanks for posting this video.

[@nasal8923]

I have a 4wd Suburban; is there a difference?

[@hectorlomeli3419]

Thanks bro got me feeling i can do it ..

[@tahoe6197]

This is not a four wheel drive!

[@19stoney64]

Thanks for video. 👍

[@tomg7522]

Awesome video dude. Awesome! My 2012 Silverado has a bad driver side motor mount. At age 65, I'm getting a little tired of working on my own cars. Thought I'd talk to a mechanic that I've worked with before. I was quoted $161 for the AC Delco part, 3 hours labor for a total cost $646!!!!! For one motor mount? Thanks to your video, I'm gonna pretend I'm 25 again, Putting in the motor mount myself. Thanks again. Great vid!

[@boycabatomixvlogs]

its not easy bro its really to change.engine of kind of vehicles ..you must have a patience to do this things ..and maybe rigth siden is really really tough to change ..

[@gilgarg946]

Great video. Thanks for showing the entire installation!

[@leo3times]

Thanks for a No Shop method. Your vid is the first I've seen to mention the different bolt lengths, and to put them back where they came from. I'll have to tackle this, and look up the torque specs. Thanks.

[@robertyoungbloodjr3298]

Are you in San Diego California

[@johnreid859]

Thanks for the video.

[@ericb1294]

I’m tackling this job this weekend and yours is definitely the most realistic and practical video for the DIYers out there. Appreciate it, liked and subscribed!

Great video, thanks man.

[@maxwelllee98]

Thank you for the video lm going to do my Tahoe

I was wondering if you had any issues with the Exhaust. could you have put something on the Crank pulley?

[@robertyoungbloodjr3298]

Good teaching

[@mikenash7899]

Thanks for the info

[@rocky946]

Do you need to lift up the engine

[@Snow0255]

Good job my dude

[@BenSinz45s]

Nice work. Thanks man👍🏽

[@KARSRUSKING]

Your welcome

[@perrywatts2770]

Great job 👍

[@sheldor73]

But how did you determine which mount was bad?

[@KARSRUSKING]

Have someone get in and put their foot on the brake put it in drive (keep foot on brake) and press gas pedal as foot is on the brake as you watch the motor …one side will raise higher then the on the other the side that raises will be the bad mount

[@jamesantonelli2580]

Excellent video!!! I've been chasing a clunk in my front end for months. I bet this is the culprit!!!!

[@clintlawson2455]

Great video

[@moparsmith]

By putting the jack on the exhaust it put more pressure on the exhaust manifold bolt

[@glennmoore4865]

Hi Cars R Us , Loved this video but I have an 07 Denali with 4WD. How much harder is it and do you have a video for 4WD

[@brentowen9480]

Pretty sure this is a rear wheel drive vehicle. AWD has a front diff in the way. Thanks though

[@parrishmanuel1]

Thanks Bro. You just helped me out a lot and saved me quite a bit of money! Thanks💪🏾

[@jerryumfress9030]

Your video was very easy to understand, it was very helpful, thanks!

[@HungNguyen91622]

Good job brother!

[@fish25guy]

Good video. It seems like every video is for the driver's side motor mount which is way easier to tackle than the passenger side.

[@travismeeks3083]

thanks bro. can't find a damn mechanic or shop to get me in to replace these, so I'm gonna do it in my shop floor, i suppose.

[@fieldnegro5620]

Nice video brotha ! Getting ready to do homeboyz i watched others that seemed like it was a longer process so i was going to try from under like and then i saw yr vid .....what did you charge for that job?

[@whiskeyactual.]

@CARS-R- Us did you say that all the bolts were 15mm?
