om617 to toyota motor vibration
OK guys,
Making up my motor mounts for OM617 into an extra cab, hope to hear from the guys who've done it (powerstrokejoe, pyrojoe, waltt etc) how much vibration do you experience from the 617 with the mounts you used? In my 300SD you can't even tell there's a diesel up front in terms of vibration, but that car has the soft rubber mounts + engine shock absorbers and a 2nd firewall to boot.
This truck is my DD and sees on-road work use, light off-road shuttling bikes, and towing than hardcore offroad so vibration reduction wins over wheeling strength, trying to decide between using the stock OM617 mounts,stock toyota rubber mounts, or Luke @ 4x4labs suggested the later Mercedes fluid-filled single bolt mounts, any thoughts from the 617 swap gurus?? Stock toyota mounts certainly seem easiest...
thanks

I've been in some rough riding vehicles, the 12 valve Cummins being one of them. My OM617 Toyota was extremely smooth. Smoother than my rough riding 22R. You can see my mounts in my build thread. Just used stock Toyota rubber mounts.
