is this indicative of a loose or broken engine/tranny mount oh yeah.... year/make/model/relevant options are generally appreciated... it eliminates some of the guesswork. .

is this indicative of a loose or broken engine/tranny mount if an engine mount were broken snapping the throttle while in neutral would produce movement as well - as the engine will try and twist against the rotation of the crank. if the tranny mount was broken the transmission would try and bounce up smacking the underside of the cab. this may sound overly simplistic but stick your head under there and look. .

great deal. no sooner did i sign the papers a call came in from a guy from the next state over wanting the vehicle. nice... - anyone else would have just got the rebate off msrp. 2. found out afterwards the rear rotors were out of round and pulsating badly at high speed. while driving around town in the three test drives i took i couldnt pick up the rear pulsing because i was using the tranny to slow down before/as i was braking. i was playing with the tranny too much to notice. as soon as i made the deal and took it home on the turnpike did it show up. hmm... took it in the next day and of course they dont have those 17 huge ass rear rotors in stock. special order from milwaukee where i guess they built the truck since its hand built and not assembly lined. i also notice a nasty rear shimmy at 70mph. cut the rotors you say they couldnt cut the rotors either on the vehicle or on the lathe because they are simply too big for the equipment. i was thinking about taking it to a tractor trailer truck place to do it but it is under warranty and i aint going to do it... 3. took it back when the rotors came in. they replaced them and the rear shimmy the rear pulsing and the shifter banging disappeared. hmm... so it was due to the rear rotors causing the heavy vibes and the shifter shaking badly besides the pulsing. 4. that opened up a can of worms. now the front rotors were showing signs of pulsing. wtf. so they ordered them for me yesterday. i told them they should have swapped rotors off the srt qc sitting in stock. the service general manager said he would have done it but pointed out what if that had the same problem i said take it on the turnpike and test it but the turnpike is about 15 miles away and they didnt want to put all those miles on it travelling to/from and on the turnpike.ok.. np. 5. drving it around is a huge pleasure. the front pusling isnt as bad so i took it out last night for a bit. parked now and for the rest of the week until the front rotors come in. am i upset sure what do you think but is it something i would return the vehicle for another nope. this thing was ordered in june 2005 and didnt get delivered until early march 2006. i aint giving it back... just want to get thru this rotor ordeal. and thanks for the tips on what to look for. if after the front rotors are replaced and there is still an issue well i will deal with it at that time next week and probably request the dodge tech guy from corp look into it and see whats up. thanks again! ace ======== ======== good feedback ace glad your being taken care of. and..... the thread gave me an opportunity to become better informed myself. marshmonster refuses to admit that tommy had anything to do with it .
