the mounts are like 80-100, the block brackets that grab 7 holes instead of 3 are like 280/pr.....you can get the package for about $300. both mounts and both block brackets(those are the awesome pieces!)

BTW it cost me 4 hrs labor to have it repaired.....$340

Exactly what happened to me!!! Messed me up sitting on the distributor, drilled out the bolts and replaced the bolts as well as a new mount. My dude was really nice only cost me $330 parts and labor.

Next thing I gotta replace a wheel bearing and figure out this wiring problem that has been killing my jeep sucks all the power out and won't start I let it charge and sit letting the alternator charge my brand new battery but something is hot after I turn it on that is killing me!! I hate wires!!!

Don't you have air lockers? Maybe the po did a bad job wiring and the air comp is getting power but not activating. Just a thought. Lol.

I do, and when I turn them on it will kill me a min later. That used to be the problem now it's just happening out of nowhere.

When you think your lifter tick got louder, but after looking under the hood realize its just crap under the distributor cap again.

Yeah we did it again the other way around in front of King Soopers this morning. Funny because both Jeeps have different tires in this pic than the last one (14 hours earlier)
