I was under my daughter’s 2006 X today and noticed the nut is missing on the bolt or stud that holds the motor mount to the frame. Anyone know what size it is? Thanks…. Johnny

I’m sorry this happened to you. I hope you get it back unharmed and the thief is caught and neutered. Man alive, I hate me a thief.

That looks real good, but you all need some color to liven things up. I’m thinking a neon yellow ‘06 would do the trick!

They can be frustrating, that’s for sure. God speed and best of luck whatever you decide.

Totally agree on the O2 sensors. It’s an electronic crapshoot where even the good ones can be bad. I replaced all four O2 sensors on my daughter’s 06 with MOPAR sensors, which I was told are made by NTK/NGK. Cleared codes and all was well for about three weeks and then it threw a code for Bank...

My daughter and I did two, hers and mine, a couple of weeks ago. it’s very easy once you get the bolt broke free. Hers was very tight. Not a single issue other than that. It’s hard to go wrong if you use the plastic pin that comes with the new Crown unit to align the holes in the old one coming...

Will do. Gonna wait a bit, though. August in SE Texas is hotter than splatter grease. Maybe October. Hoping to get my grown daughter to come over and help. She’s a good helper in cooler weather, not so much when it’s hot. She‘s a Jeeper, drives an ‘06 X.

Yep, I know. No worries on my end.

A few years ago I bought a 1955 Ford F-100 pickup in which the previous owner had installed a 460 V8 and C6 automatic. He had also installed a front frame clip with Twin I-Beam suspension and power steering. It was a hoot to drive, I tell ya what, but I’m getting off track. I guess he had...

No. I really don’t think there is a way. I’m gonna drop the pan and weld it. The plug hasn’t leaked a drop, but I don’t trust it. I want to fix it once, fix it right.

Thanks, fellas. An oil extractor would indeed work for a temporary work-around as long as the plug doesn’t start leaking. I really don’t trust the plug.

Thanks! Thanks to all for your help.

Not sure what else I could do to try to get it out. I think it’s there to stay untiI I drop the pan.

It’s stock height. Sounds like more work than I initially thought. I need to look for a how-to.
