Yup! Just undo one side at a time and jack it up! Replace it and repeat the other side. That’s how dealers do it too and they will charge you an arm and a leg for it also.

Yep. I watched from the waiting room, it was about 48 minutes from when they moved the car into the bay till they had it out and parked again. Three hours worth of labor.

what part of the engine did you all jack on to do this?
Jack up on the edge of the oil pan, where the bolts are. Don't lift it anymore than you need to, make sure you don't drive the distributor into the cab. If you did, you lifted too high. I can't remember but on the 4x4 you may need to drop the front differential, and that doesn't take long after you have done it. Unbolt the 6 axle bolts on each side, and unplug everything. Take the driveshaft loose and the vent tube, remove the 4 bolts holding the front diff and remove it.

I feel that i have at least one thats compromised. Im not doing this for fun haha. Something is definately going on
Good luck. When I had the engine out of my '88, I tried to replace the mount cushions.
1. Energy Suspension inserts are too huge in pretty-much every direction. The molded-in steel insert inside the Polyurethane cushion has angled steel arms instead of "straight" arms.
2. Stock-replacement aftermarket mounts are made of the thinnest sheetmetal on Earth. They're a total piece of crap.
3. The only hope is that GM still sells OEM-quality mounts, and not a reboxed version of the Communist junk aftermarket mounts. I didn't call the stealership to find out.
4. I put my 300,000 mile mounts back in.

If you absolutely HAVE to install new mounts, and GM isn't an acceptable source, about all you can do is to split your original shells, split the shell of the Communist-crap mount, and put the Chinese rubber insert into your original steel shells. I won't promise that the "new" insert will fit the original shells, because "China".
I refused to give the Commies the business, so as I said, I reluctantly put my old mounts right back in place.
