Motor Mounts

Has anyone ever replaced a motor mount? Im pretty saure the passengr side one ripped when I was taking the tranny and everything else out from back there . I think i let the engine drop too far which had caused the rip.

Whats it like to change one and is the dodge dealer the best place to get them?

I changed both of mine and the tranny mounts too. Not too hard to do but you need a floor jack that can reach high enough. IIRC I had to remove the bracket from the block on the drivers side in order to get the mount back in. I got mine at NAPA, i think around $30.00. Seemed like good parts. I have to say though, the truck feels like a paint shaker at idle on a cold morning, old ones must have been really tired.
