2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right side engine mount on a 1500 with RPOs LC9/LMG/LY5/L76/L92 (5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L) on 2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV?

  A: The right side Engine Mount replacement process begins by removing the air cleaner outlet duct when working with trucks using rpos lc9/lmg/ly5/l76/l92 (5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L). You must detach both front drive axle components in addition to their bracket from vehicles equipped with 4wd. Move forward by taking away both the Exhaust Manifold as well as the air conditioning (A/C) compressor bracket. Prior to installing the Engine Mount to frame bolts remove the bolts while keeping the crankshaft balancer and Oil Pan free from any mount support or raising mechanics. Utilize a screw-type adjustable jack to support the engine block tab before accessing through the wheelhouse opening and undoing the Engine Mount to engine bolts. The adjustable jack needs to lift the engine to create suitable space to replace the mount. Install the new Engine Mount by positioning it to the engine while using the wheelhouse opening to fasten Engine Mount to engine bolts that should be tightened to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Remove the adjustable jack while the engine rest in position at frame-mount level. Use a torque wrench to install the Engine Mount to frame bolts where the first step is tightening the middle bolt to 65 n.m followed by the side bolts to 65 n.m. The a/c compressor bracket returns into position before you install the front drive axle bracket and its bolts with a torque setting of 90 n.m (67 lb ft). After securing the front drive axle bolts, follow by installing the front drive axle. Finally, reinstall the Exhaust Manifold.
