I bought my truck 6weeks ago, had 42,000 miles on it. Has a vibration when idling . I have had it to the dealer I bought it from 5 times, last week they said It has to be the motor mounts. I take it in tomorrow to get them replaced, and the dealer is paying for everything. My question is, have anyone here ever had their motor mounts replaced?

Im surprised to hear that for such a new truck.

I was thinking the same thing. They told me at the dealer that there is no way to roll back the miles on the truck. I asked them what could make the motor mounts go bad, on a truck with 42,000 miles. He said he had no clue

Well mileage aside, 6 year old rubber mounts don't go bad that fast. Something caused them to go bad...prolonged exposure to oil, heat, or heat cycles...something.

That's not exactly true; you can swap the gauge cluster with another one. I swapped the cluster in my STX with an FX4 one, and it shows the (higher) mileage of the truck it came out of.

doubt it’s the motor mounts @ 42K miles... but, if they want to throw part’s at it for free let them...

Well I hope it's the mounts, I have had it in the service dept 5 times. I'm getting tired of taking it in. I will know later today if the new mounts fix it.

The pcm keeps a record of how miles are supposed to be with the truck. You can have a dealer program the dash display to the correct mileage if you want.

Well they called at 5 and said they broke the dip stick tube, so now I will be without my truck for another day. And I still do not know if the new motor mounts fixed the problem .

I picked up my truck last night. The vibration is gone. But now my starter is very loud. I have never worked on this new of a truck. Does anyone know why the starter would be louder unless it was not tightened right?
