Looks like everybody swam over here.I have the same issues with the 034 slugs everyone else does made worse by the DI diesel. I'm kinda interested in the poly mounts.. Is this an install 'em and forget 'em item or will it need to be replaced periodically? Does it flex, sag, or wear out? I'm just asking as I'm unfamiliar with it. Thanks for your part in keeping these chassis rolling.
Sorry for the late reply. I have been scrambling to get the truck back together before tomorrow and that has taken up a bit of my time.
As far as the mounts go, for the most part, yes -- install them and forget about them. Everything flexes to some degree but these are much stiffer over the factory OEM rubber but not quite as stiff as solid metal. I couldn't tell the difference in handling over solid aluminum but I did notice a quieter, smoother, and nicer ride.
As far as wearing out, I have a lifetime warranty on them as long as you own the car. I've yet to see any get trashed, including my own that I mercilessly beat around time and time again.
