Hello, Everyone! For the last couple of weeks i have been rocking a set of AFP PolyUrethane Motor Mounts on my 2015 Silverado, and i have to say: WOW I know understand Solid or Poly Motor Mounts are one of those "Must Haves", even tho it is a very often overlooked mod, but is one of those things that will improve the vehicle feel a lot. For the last few years, i have invested quite some time and money into the suspension of myTruck, trying to improve how it drives both On and Off Road. So far, my 2015 Silverado has a Front Suspension Mid Travel Kit: -DirtKing Upper Control Arms -DirtKing Alignment Cams -Fox 2.0 Coilovers (Set to Stock Ride Height) -3" Lift Spindles. Even tho i have what most people would consider more than enough suspension, there was a very distinctive shake that i couldnt get rid of, when going fast on rough roads or jumping speed bumps, and thought it was just K2xx suspension geometry; but no: it was the Engine/Transmission all along. Regardless of having good/undamaged Stock Motor Mounts, i realized the Engine/Trans assembly wiggles too much when jumping a bump or in rough dirt roads, making the truck feel like something in the suspension is loose. I didnt know this was the problem until i installed a set of AFP Poly Motor Mounts, and when testing the truck, found out i wasnt feeling the strange shake anymore: Mind Blown. To any of you out there with Desert trucks, PreRunners or Overlanding vehicles, dont overlook the great benefits of having improved Motor Mounts on your rigs. I wished someone had told me, but im glad i found out! Other benefits i found are: Improved Sporty Feeling of the truck, Improved Throttle Response, Greater Mount Longevity, Easier to install than Stock motor Mounts, Etc. The only downside any normal people could fathom, is the extra vibration felt in the steering wheel and pedals (which i dont even consider to be more than mild, it rather subtle and feels sporty, like a Manual Trans Camaro) AFP Site: https://atomicfabandperformance.com/ My Motor Mounts: https://atomicfabandperformance.com/product/14-18-gmt2kxx-lt-poly-motor-mounts/ TL;DR, here is the video.
