I just got back my truck with the M278 from the dealer and they did they drivers side motor mount. Checking in if they missed installing an exhaust shield? I took the belly pan off for them. There is some sort of steel shield that’s part of the cradle, but is there an aluminum shield missing? I can’t remember.



They also messed around with the overflow tubes and broke one of the hangers on the rad fan plastic argh! And installed some aftermarket hose with screw on hose clamps WTF. I hate bringing my cars to shops. I don’t know what they needed this off maybe to get to the upper bolts on the mount.




Anyone have a part number on that hose?

last they put silicone lube on my serpentine belt. To get rid of the sqeeky. Man I’m not happy with all the micky mouse stuff.

 

Did you ever find the part number? I'm in exactly the same situation right now with that hose. Bad Motor mounts -> Hose Broken -> Janky Hose Clamp Thing. Right now mine is in the shop with what expect is the /third/ motor mount failure in a GL with only 80k miles on it.

 

 

Nice! How did you find it? Even knowing the right part number I can't find it on any of the part diagrams.

I'm surprised the engine end doesn't have a quick connector on it. The nib looks like to me it would accept a quick connect. Did you just use a hose clamp for that connection?

 

Yes hose clamp, I don’t remember how I found it it was part if a the engine grouping I think not the coolant parts.
