    Ok hoping to maybe get some answers here as I can not figure out why a Peterbilt 567 keeps breaking rear motor mount bolts. Truck is a 2019 Pete 567 Super tag, with a ISX12 with a 10spd Eaton ultrashift transmission. The driver side bolts have shears 3-4x and the passenger side bolts have shears once. All motor mounts have been OEM and 10.9 reverse hex head bolts.

    Do the new bolts just drop into place or do you have to pry on stuff to get them to line up?

    Everything has to be loosened in order to put the new bolts in as well as prying on stuff to get the bolts to go in as if the frames too narrow but once everything is in place everything is fine
     
    W923 Thanks this.

    That's likely your issue. The bolts are probably shearing off due to misalignment of the holes.
