As they wear out you may begin to feel the vibrations, and you may notice shaking or slamming when you move the vehicle into different gears. When that happens, it's time to replace the engine mounts. This video shows you how to install new TRQ engine mounts on your 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade.

you prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@dewaynemiguel3349]

I'm just angry because there's no way these motor mounts should go bad except for poor design.

[@RuggedAdventures]

This is the biggest fact!

[@RonA215]

I replaced my driver side mount without removing any of the other parts besides the manifold heat shield

[@elponce]

This is the most hardest way to remove driver side mount. 👎

[@chrisurfer83]

Pro tip, take the time to remove your fender liners it makes this job SO MUCH EASIER

[@bo-boboski4118]

This guy is so wound up, he really needs to relax. Great video otherwise

[@bruce5051]

Man I just did the driver side in mine. It was much harder. To get the bolts started than you made it look like. Then again. I was trying to manage with just a swivel, and no one prying the engine over made the motor mount feel like putting 10 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket.

[@josearguedas2296]

I take out the manifolds was to way easier and faster

[@casualobserver485]

I'm tellin you, if you are going to do this on a FWD no matter if it's Caddy, Chevy, GMC, it is a royal pain. You must use the heat shield if you want the mount to last. Lazy mechanics replaced mine, not installing the shield and after a trip on the road it was shot. Another tip, jack on the oil pan, with a piece wood, not the exhaust to get the clearance needed.

[@franksantiago2075]

Dude u made that look easy Can I bring my truck to you to handle My motor mount project

[@danielkingsbury2566]

Just did this job if you’re doing driver side, take off steering shaft, then break lose the 3 bolts on passenger side mount but don’t take them all the way out the extra slack let’s you slide driver side mount right in once engine is jacked up all the way

[@kvasir40]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the vital information here. An strategic procedure was to disassemble the mount to take it out and to get the new one in. That made an important difference.

[@jimsmith3712]

Just curious, wouldn’t it be a bit easier just to remove the exhaust manifolds?

[@CedarPass]

There's no "r" in vehicle, but there are two good mounts now installed. Thumbs up and Nah-ice!

[@jamesmalak7257]

Thank you so much I got to say that you are the best ever trully good job you sure love what you are doing and you good in what you doing Thanks again

[@Robert-t8s2p]

I did one mount and my other one broke that same day maybe it was bad but it’s better to do them as a pair don’t go cheap like I did

[@joelpierce3940]

I used to be a mechanic, so I am no novice, but this job, done on the ground is a Pain. I did the driver’s side and had to remove the stearin link. I attempted the passenger side (2009 Silverado), and the only way I can think to get it out is by removing the exhaust manifold. I just put it back after taking the bolts out. Maybe you have a trick. I did remove the heat shield. It looks like you do both at the same time leaving the engine jacked up. Also how long should this take?

[@bruce5051]

Helpful video. But not for amateur mechanic

[@thetoolman3]

If you did the mounts individually, so that the driver side mount was installed when you removed the passenger side, would this rotate the engine over enough to provide room for removing the passenger side mount without taking it apart?

[@V8dadmartin]

My jaw dropped when he said remove the starter, I want to go home man 😂

[@hoobsgarage]

My manifold heat sheild rusted and fell off. I'm already one step ahead

[@extremedetailingceramiccoa9526]

Kudos, well explained and narrated. Providing the torque specs were an added bonus!

[@josem1371]

Are the mounts specifically designed Left and Right or are both the same?

[@aerskine9036]

Yes and no. I would HIGHLY recommend replacing your old gel filled OEM mounts with the solid rubber mounts used in the PPV (police Tahoes and in the Hummer H3). While it may sound counterintuitive, you will actually be using two passenger side mounts for any 2007 or newer Yukon/Escalade/Avalanche/Tahoe - p/n 25847739. There are plenty of write-ups, posts, forum discussions about this specific mount. Between the heat of the engine/exhaust and the force exerted from the engine each time you increase the RPM’s the gel filled OEM mounts are not designed to withstand the daily “abuse”, whereas the solid rubber H3/Police PPV mounts will. Buy the mount (part number listed above) so you can save yourself the headache and expense of having to replace your engine mounts for a second or maybe even a third time for others.

[@franklinramirez5445]

If you were able to take the driver side without taking the drive shaft of why you have to take it off to put the new one?

[@MACKIE4890]

Hi I just replace my motor mounts on my 2005 silverado since my passanger side was Broke. The 3 bolts I pulled out were 15 mm x 2" long there were a little bent from it being broke. So I went to the chevy dealership and they have me 15mm bolts by 1 1/2" I showed him my old bolts that I pulled out and he showed me the computer that calls for the 1 1/2 bolts to the mount to frame. Should I use what they gave me or go find the 2 " bolts? Thanks

[@TexasBean956ALV]

What would I do with out you guys??!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@TRQ]

+@TexasBean956ALV Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@curtboxley7678]

great video. only question I have is the torque for the lugnuts for the wheels. I thought the torque should be 100 ft-lbs. I have replaced brakes on my 2013 Yukon Denali myself and torqued my lugnuts to 100 ft-lbs based off information I got from a wheel and tire website. Again, great video. Definitely did not look like that was your first set of motor mounts on these trucks/SUV's that you have replaced. You make it look fairly easy.

[@LiLScoggs08]

Odd that we went from removing one to installing one back to removing another one (same driver side) with another set of directions. Guessing this was done on two vehicles?

[@fredom491]

Good video thank you

[@ethanmacheras5967]

Very helpful

[@gerryramone18t]

nice video !!!!

[@lancemartin2478]

How many mounts does this truck have total?

[@burtonwarrior3102]

I have 09’ Escalade , how many mounts are there?

[@Hoonigan77]

Do you recommend putting long tubes & tube on a 6.2L Cadillac Escalade ? Or self preference at this point?.

[@3800lsxRockahendrixxx]

id put the longtubes on with the motor mount install.. wayy easier!!

[@chrisurfer83]

What do you do if the steering wheel was free to spin... Asking for a friend...

[@TRQ]

+@chrisurfer83 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@chrisurfer83]

@@TRQ thanks, I was about to fix it by disconnecting the steering shaft and reconnecting itl after spinning it 180*

[@leswilson4387]

So what was the labor time to replace?

[@MrOnlinegamer89]

I’m in the same boat, want to do it but wanna know about how long it will take start to finish

[@AlanTrades]

What impact wrench are you using

[@franciscomarentez5709]

Is that a 6.2L?

[@petepipers501]

Thanks friend good videos

[@franksantiago2075]

Please hit me up

[@franksantiago2075]

Please h lp Me

[@tjoyce81]

There's one VERY important thing not mentioned in this video. It is - this job tests every facet of human patience - it is NOT for the novice backyard mechanic. If you do not have many special tools, DO NOT attempt it! This video makes it look MUCH easier than it actually is.

[@saulvillarreal5940]

I have the same truck and i need to do same job to my truck can u guys tell me how much should i pay for the labor only to get this 2 mounts replaced i live in California?

[@TRQ]

+saul villarreal Thanks for watching! Shop rate will vary, so we are not able to get you an accurate quote for something like that.

[@luisbravo8776]

A professional shop quoted me 1100 for both here in California. Parts included. And a somewhat professional quoted me 550 for both. Parts not included. Napa has them for 90 bucks each. I ended up replacing the driver side myself. Good luck. Its about a 4 hour job

[@TaYLoRGaNG431295]

Hey @TRQ! Just curious. I’ve replaced my motor mounts back in August & have the clunking happening again just suddenly. I’ve noticed you have the manifold shields & was just curious if they help prevent heat from hitting mounts or?

[@wouldntyouliketoknow1477]

The exhaust shield won't affect the motor mounts, it's for the wiring around the motor. Check the bolt that goes through the rubber on the mount. It sits going front-to-back. You can see it from below looking up. I've seen those back out and feel like the mount is shot.

[@elhacelotodo8400]

The heat shield helps protect the rubber on the motor mount. Heat and rubber don’t get along.

[@joelpierce3940]

My Silverado was clunking, and it was the driver’s side motor mount. The exhaust was hitting the frame as seen by my GoPro. I was told that it was driveshaft, etc. The mounts are a PIA.

[@robertmentzer388]

If doing the driver side why did you remove the starter?

[@rayben3972]

He did both sides, first one he did was passenger

[@smokeythesmurf1]

Would this be the same as a 2013 chevy silverado can't seem to find a good video for replacing all the mounts
