While laying there last Thursday waiting for the fluids to all drain out I looked around as I usually do and noted the left side engine mount was starting to crack through the molded rubber.
Ordered a new one from an online company Thursday night and got it Saturday about noon. There were 4 bolts to undo and the new one went in w/o a hassle. I looked at the others and they are fine so I guess I dodged a problem?! Now my joints and back ache but what the hell at 74 my wife says I should let the dealer do it, yea right!

Agreed - unless you have a mechanic who would do the same and maybe even better than you!

I decided to install a leveling kit on my ‘14 F150 last weekend. While I was in there, I replaced the upper and lower control arms, plus the sway bar bushings and links. All on my knees and back in the driveway.
At 60, it was much tougher than at 40 or 50. I was beat.
