Well, The jeep had been doing fine, no major mechanical problems in the past few months, made the 700mile trip to tellico and back no problem. But this morning when I got in it to start it up it was making a horrible noise.
I popped the hood the fan shroud was torn up, and the whole engine had shiffed a few inches. So I looked around a little, and noticed the passenger side engine mount wasn't even bolted to the block anymore. At first I thought the bolts all just backed out, but I got under neath it and looked. The two bottom bolts sheared flush off with the block. I think I might be able to drill into the lower one, but there def isn't enough room to drill the top one. Does this mean I am going to have to pull the engine? The engine is a rebuilt one with under 20k miles on it.
anyone have anything similar happen to thier jeep? what did you do? Let me know, Tim
