How Necessary is a Rear Motor Mount?

[Jadar]

Funny...I'm 55. I had a '00 Ranger XLT 4x4 before the ST. Only truck I've ever had, bought it when I was racing Supermoto. I'm much happier w/ the ST and w/o the truck/race bike!

That’s super cool. But yeah I’m so happy with a new work car that I can dig out 30-33mpg. I still have my ranger lol it won’t die. I think it has 200k on it. But the odo broke at 140 about 5 years ago . But she won’t die, ac still works and all.

I got the dreaded "CLUNK" shifting into second and turning left one day. After installing Cobb's rmm I have never had clunk and there was a drop in wheel hop.
Take that for what you want, it doesn't cost much and takes 15 minutes to install. You will notice a uptick in vibration at rest with ac on.

My last truck was a slammed highly modded 02 Ranger step-side. My cousin bought it and still drives it to work every day.

I'm trying so hard not to buy a new buy a new F150. I think that I have to build a new sleeper. The truck has more hp and tq than the lightning and weighs 400lbs less.
Plus it has 5 extra gears in the trans and now has port injection. I could buy the truck new on Aplan slap a whipple on it and have some fun (regular cab)

hell, i could get a procharger and save money. The powerband isn't that important when you have 10 gears. That thing shifts like a sport bike in the mustang and camaro.

I just installed the AWR RMM (70 duro) two weeks ago. I *love* the way the car shifts, it's so much less mushy. NVH is just fine, there's a little rumble at idle when cold--that's it. Nothing offensive. My wife rode in the car a couple days ago, she didn't even notice it was different. But I notice it in the way the shifts feel, every minute I'm in the car. And, frankly, I like a little rumble to remind me that I'm sitting in the midst of an impossible machine.

It was my first mod, and I would definitely do it again. AP+Stratified stage 1 will be coming soon. And my driving is mostly like yours, OP (and I have a very, very long daily commute).

I doubt you'd regret an aftermarket RMM.

If you’re up to spending extra money, the cp-e xFlex is a pretty good mount with less vibration. Otherwise, you can just go with a Whoosh street spec RMM at $100

edit: i stand corrected. Ron said in an earlier post about motor mounts that the whoosh street spec would be a good one for less NVH

So the whoosh has the least vibration less Then cp_e or awr money is not the problem
