Dog bone Mounts/Tranny Mount

[PCGUY112887]

I want some type of stiffer dog bone mounts for my 3500... right now I have the 96 style mounts. What are my options? I know I can use old FFP mounts but then what do I have to convert to use that older style of mount? Right now one of my "strut tower brace" (whatever the brace is on the front of the engine that makes the dog mount mount) is modified for my headers so I can't get rid of those...

 

I would love some poly inserts for my mounts, the way the stock rubber mounts are lets things move all over!

 

As far as transmission mounts go, I have the stock one on (113k miles on it). I have a solid rubber engine mount, would I even be able to notice if I changed to a solid rubber or poly tranny mount?

If you wanted to use the FFP, you would have to use the otehr style mounts. For what you have now, I believe ZZP makes poly bushings for them.

 

The stock tranny mount should be a solid rubber. They only used a hydraulic mount on the engine mount. Im not aware of anyone that makes a poly tranny or engine mount that'll fit these things. If you know please tell!

I thought FFP went down, they get a new site or something?

If you dont have the newer style mounts, switch to them and get ( its either ZZP or Intense ) that has poly inserts. Or look at MRZ. I thought that they made poly dogbones...

those will work my my car? cool.

[PCGUY112887]

I already have the "newer style" mounts (they look exactly like GTP mounts) problem is I don't know if their the same size or not.

 

Can you confirm this? Because Intense has this package

Which I would LOVE to have!

[19Cutlass94]

Yes, they are the same mount.

 

If you look up the brackets on http://www.napaonline.com they have the same part number for your 1996 and the newer GP w/ 3800's.

 

So yes you can get those!

 

 

BTW: ZZP has them for like $55.

[PCGUY112887]

Yes they do however it seems that (sadly) ZZP only carries the front mounts, not the mounts for the engine side of the dogbone mount as well.

[19Cutlass94]

ohh ok gotcha.

It appears that the GTP tranny mount part # happens to be the same # as the 4T60E... so maybe we get to use this? :-) (for $$)

if you do get it and it works, let me know how bad the vibration is, because i would like to get poly mounts for the monte.

yeah I wish they would show a side view of that. Im not sure if the 4T60-e and 4T65-E use the same mount or not. since that doesnt say, but I guess we can find out though.

[19Cutlass94]

Well according to napa, its the same mount!

 

so this means that we might be able to use this!

[PCGUY112887]

Woops, looks like this has already been brought up and it does work...
