    i don't think the Front one is bad. i know for sure the Driver side is broken. The passanger side doesn't look broken though looks decent but im thinking if one is bad the other might be too. My truck only has 3 1 Front 2 rears

    Well i thought 8 hours was a lot for engine mounts.. Guess its not:S another shop told me 4-8hours. He then told me 2 days ago they had to pull the transmission on a truck just to do the engine mounts:(:(:( Hope this doesn't happen to me lol

    Take it to a shop pete. You don't need air tools, they just make it easier. However you need a way to lift the engine. Either a host or drop the pan and jack it up. The problem is with your limited experience wrenching, this one is most likely beyond your abilities. Engines can be very tricky to move in position And if you are of by a 32nds of an inch you won't get the bolt through.
    Get it to a shop as soon as you can afford it. Preferably today. You are risking catastrophic damage with that. Engines produce a lot of torque and with your luck you are likely to see the engine come up through the hood the next time you get on it hard.

    Yeah, with one broken, you're putting an incredible amount of stress on the remaining two, if one of those go.....I'm sure don't wanna find out.
