As long as she can give me 8 or 9, I'll be satisfied

 

Umm...she can "take"...but I'm not judging.

 

Crap.... I didn't think that one through

 

Dang! Comes with an 80mm pulley and an ecu too! Wonder if it comes with the injectors to match... What a deal! Wish I was ready for it.

 

Talked to @Bonzen aka solid offroad for a group buy on the upgraded trans mount. 5 total slots $325 shipped. Let me know if anyone else wants in. Thanks @Mdl for checking that fitment.

Looks good and looks functional...what, in your opinion, are the typical limits to OEM that this would be better suited for? Like 600whp, torque...? Solid mounts can offer some vibrations that only the wife would notice/care about, right?

 

I’d say the additional torque these trucks make with the blower it wouldn’t be a bad upgrade. It’s not a true solid mount but does have a poly bushing. @Mdl mentioned very slight change in the cabin feel/noise. But I’ll let him elaborate there. The motor mounts for example felt much more connected it was a significant difference especially for my use case.

 

This. Talk to me about the downside for a daily driver whose alter ego is a race truck. And what are you expecting the impacts to be when combined with their poly motor mounts?

 

How much more noise did you notice coming through with the engine mounts?

 

More of a connected feel with very little to no downsides.

 

Really not much at all but that’s my opinion. The exhaust and bypass clicking was more noticeable lol. But some have said it’s way different but again I don’t think that at all.

 

Not that I don't like/trust you, but I do think you're opinion might be a bit skewed for us commoners.

Anyone with a pavement beauty queen running poly motor mounts with some feedback on pros/cons? It wasn't on my radar, but with a motor swap coming up, I'm tempted to order both motor and trans mounts and never have to think about it again.

 

I ran them for a few hundred miles then put the stock mounts back in. Made my truck ride really rough. Like the shocks were too stiff and there was 100psi in the tires. I did like the increase in responsiveness and decrease in engine clunking around though

 

The only thing I noticed with the solid motor mounts was the smallest bit of vibration when idling around with some load. That scenario really only happens pulling into my garage with a small incline going in. It idles in under a little load, and I get a slight vibration in the dash that I didn’t have before.

 

And these are solid mounts or the poly mounts? My only experience to date is with steering rack bushings and leaf spring bushings, never with the powertrain.

 

Appreciate the feedback.

 

The company has the absolute stupidest name in human history. They are called "Solid Mounts" but they are NOT solid mounts. They are poly mounts, just called Solid, for who knows why.

 

Poly- and @snivilous name could be improved

 

lol

I got that part. I thought there was a literal solid mount, no joint, no rubber or poly, that was floating around a few years ago that was being pitched specifically for off-road. It very well could have been the same product since my memory is garbage these days, but that was why I never paid any attention to it. probably my ignorance.

 

I would bet it was this place, because I thought the exact same thing until someone told me they're not solid mounts.

 

"Semi-Solid Offroad" just doesn't sound as good

 

Bit-O-Squish Offroad??

 

Vibrating dash off-road?

 

LOL...reminds me of this Brother I knew way back in the day.
Had an old 68 Camaro that was highly modified.
He actually chained his motor down because he kept breaking motor mounts.
It looks exactly like it sounds....a chain running over the top of the motor and welded to the frame.
It actually worked...and he stopped breaking the motor mounts.

 

That was actually a very common thing back in the day. Frames were twisty as all get out and you strap a torquey motor in and it'll twist it right up.

 

Have this 2017 SC Tundra in here right now....He's doing some maintenance and has a couple of electrical concerns. Need a spiral cable and the aftermarket headlight turn signals do not work.
The exhaust has long tubes POINTED DIRECTLY at the fuel tank......The O2 sensor wires laying on the exhaust...

I think I'll leave him a note to contact Keith....

 

!!!

 

Welp....it'll be 5 weeks tomorrow since I ordered the Magnuson so it should be here any day now!!!
I feel like a Kid waiting on Christmas!!!
And I already snuck a peak under the wrapping paper!!
