hey king did the metal sleeve fit into the frame mount correctly? on my cousins chevy truck it had written in the instructions that you might need to enlarge the holes with a file. We used a air die grinder to speed up the install.....

Daystar did not give a Torque Spec, only said to run em down until steel sleeves come together. I decided to Torque to 80 ft lbs cause i know i read that # some where

1999-2002 torque spec is 60 ft-lbs per service manual

 

I think what you mean to say is that it feels so much better than it did with shot or missing rubber mounts. It's extremely unusual that it would feel better than it did when the truck was new.

 

Only had to cut 2 (center mounts), carpenter knife & it was Easy

 

My ranger ones involves a cutting torch and a sawzall... Great anger therapy!

 

Ride's just fine, didn't notice a difference other than it seems a bit more "firmly attached" (no cab wobble over the train tracks, etc) & that occasional "pop" sound is gone
*117,780 miles

 

Thanks Miles, actually only the front 2 (core support area) sucked, the rest were easy aside from rear seat removal

 

Yeah i dont get it, ive never had to change body mounts before & these were crumbling apart already on a 2006 w/117k

 

Mine involved a little cursing & numerous Bud Lite's

It was definitely worth the headache though, stock mounts are cheaply made.
Shame on u Ford

 

is them quality parts from china on the new trucks.

 

YES everything fit together perfectly..... Excellent Kit

 

I can definitely appreciate that. Mine ranger has caused many coors lights to suffer an untimely death :-)

Anybody have a Service Manual that covers 2006
Hopefully 80 ft lbs isn't too much (swear i read 80 somewhere)

 

when ford upgraded the front cab bolts they went to 80ftlbs. my 2004 has the bigger front bolts and they are torqued to 80ftlbs. I believe the head was 24mm or 26mm i think, where my dads 2000 were only 18mm or 19mm and lower torque setting

 

i meant beautiful, my 77 had factory mounts still but they were still together. my cousin Chevy were crumbling but still there. After the install both trucks rode ssoo much better. And poly isn't like a brick hard, get a brand new rubber mount and a brand new poly and you cant squeeze either with your hand. maybe if you put them in a press and smashed the crap out of it and had a pressure gauge hooked up to tell the difference maybe you'd see the difference........
