Body Mount Saga
The garage I give all my money to tells me that the body mounts are becoming obsolete and they'd have to get them from Texas. There'd be extra freight charges which would bring the cost for just the front 2 mounts installed to $715. I thought these kits were $90/kit?
He said there are actually 6 down each side. (I thought there were only 3.)
He also said the back body mounts are really hard to get and will be more expensive.
This creaking is driving me nuts. I've got to get it taken care of.

I would start with the 2 Under your feet both drivers and passenger side, that might do it for you.

Very straight forward job. Also, this was not my first time, make sure the parts department finds you the SHIM. The Shim was introduced years later, people claim that this was Ford's fix to a very common problem with our trucks. Without it i only got a couple of quiet months.
Yes, only did position 2... this is the first to fail due to its the position with the most amount of flex.
Hope this helps,
