Good day. I have a 1997 D22 with a QD32 motor. I need to buy new engine mounts. I am living in Honduras, Central America, and can't find any quality replacement parts. I have replaced the engine mounts 3 times, but each time they wear out within months of use. I even bot them twice from what...

In a 15 year old truck Tony, we'll surely never know how or when the reed bar got jammed in there. I'm just glad it was found. Thanks for all your time, interest and help. Much appreciated. so long mate, Andrew

Problem fixed. And you're not going to believe me when I tell you how simple it was. Shaking - it was simply a matter of making sure the pins of the universal joints on the two driveshafts are on the same angle. I hope I'm explaining myself correctly. I spent a whole week working with 3...

Thanks Tony. The picture did help. You're very knowledgeable as well as generous with your time. I appreciated everything you've done. Now I need to work on finding a mechanic who really knows what he's talking about. I think I've been directed toward a good one who I'll go see in the next few...

Hi Tony, Please see my answers below in between your answers/comments. I hope my comments are something like what you were expecting. Thanks again for any and all help you have given/may yet give. Tony - If you apply a liberal amount of accelerator and let the clutch out quickly to get moving...

Thanks Tony. I gotta go for the day (12 hour time difference), but I'll get back to you soon. I appreciate your interest. I think I have the answer to most of ur questions, but need to think about some of them a bit more. I'll test out the quick release of the clutch today with acceleration...

Dion and Dave, I want to thank you for your input as well. It's true, that just might be how my model of truck is made. Like I said, other past owners I've met have said they had the same issue, so it might be as simple as that as well. I'll have to keep my eyes open for other owners and see...

Logz10, Thanks for your response. Much appreciated. Just to be clear. Did changing your fork, or thrust bearing as Old Tony calls it, correct the issue? Was your shaking also experienced after the clutch was fully released, or was it while u were releasing the clutch? Do you have my exact model...

Old Tony: I've answered all the questions to the best of my ability. Please find my answers between your questions. I look forward to hearing what you suspect most after reading my responses. First of all, welcome to the forum. There are several very small points not quite clear that may...

Thanks very much gentlemen for your comments. And Tony, thanks for the welcome. After reading the board a bit this morning, my time zone, I figured I would hear back from you, Dion. Some of the things you wrote were a little above my level Tony. But, I'm going to do my best to get back to you...

I have a 1997 D22 with a QD32 motor. It's a central american model, but I don't believe it's any different than the asian/african/australian models. When I first start moving in first gear my truck shakes/vibrates a little more than I think it should. This is especially noticeable at low speeds...
