Front Motor mounts

Replace! Just finished repairs a few hrs ago at Kenworth in Toledo, OH. Broken front motor mounts loosened a bracket in the fan shroud. The fan sucked the fiberglass piece into it, shredded the fan, put a blade through the radiator. $4,000 in damage...

Missed my drop in RI this morning because of the repair. Now I am stuck with the load on my trailer for another week. Another $8-10k in revenue lost...

 

Wish I would have known ....I'm sure my guys could have saved you money...That KW dealership sucks...and Freightliner is 10x worse

 

all shops suck. i have yet to find anyone that can actually fix my truck. and not bend me over in the process.

i drove a kenworth once. that had a problem with cracking the frame. there's not a lot of clearance between the fan and shroud. what's minor always has a tendency to cause major problems.

and i didn' tthink ANY road was worse then oklahoma city.

 

Hind sight being 20/20 I should have done something different. I thought they were my best option to get back on the road quickly. Hope I never do, but if I ever break down in Toledo again, I'll PM you

 

you eat up that fan shroud cover in nothing i would change them besides there not that bad to do.

 

1 10mm wrench X 4 10mm bolts. loosen, lower fan shroud just a little, keep fan blades from chewing up shroud and potential other damage.

 

which way would you loosen though. cuz you've only got 1/4 inch ALL the way around the circumference. if he takes it one way to gain some clearance he's losing in another area where he might end up hitting.
