Polyurethane motor mounts....

[pimpedstratus]

Has anybody came across any polyurethane or equivelant motor mounts that would would fit a 3.7 dakota?

Why do you need them? They do help with poer transfer, but they also transfer vibration and all that good stuff too. Unless you are makeing mad power, you don't really need them.

They wont add that much vibration I have some custom mounts on my car that are a poly resin with fiberglass fibers layered in it and at idle you get some vibration and noise but on a truck where the body is almost isolated from the frame it would hardly be noticeable. The reason why is because it would help to get rid of a lot of the jerking or bucking feeling at really low rpms when your driving.

Hum I have no jerking or bucking on my truck at low speeds or RPM's . Do what you want, but it seems like you have have some other problems that are casueing the bucking.

Umm.. u must be special then because every vehicle there is does it.... usually manuals do it the worst though. You will feel it if your tring to go up a hill or accelerate with the engine at 1500 rpms or lower its caused by straining the drivetrain but the biggest fix is to get stiff bushing replacing all the stock mushy crap.

Hm, maybe I'm weird too then. I don't have that problem either, in the manual Geo Tracker I had for 13 years (never replaced the mounts), or the current Dak. The Geo wasn't as smooth as the Dak due to the little 4cyl, but it was as smooth climing hills or towing as it was on level highway. The Dak is smooth all over.

So, no, I'd have to say not "every vehicle there is" does it. Off the top of my head, the only car/truck I ever owned (11 or 12 that I can remember) that had that kid of problem had several things wrong with it.

Well whatever dosen't matter I'm just trying to find out if anybody has seen any polyurethane motor mounts but looks like nobody has. So I'll have to see if the guy that made me some for my car can help with these.

i have the 3.9L and i have no problem with my motor mounts, maybe yours are just bad?

[pimpedstratus]

Ya looking at them I think 1 of them is bad this is why I'm trying to find the polyurethane ones because after 33000 miles they should be in great shape but the stock ones are pretty mushy.
