    Been looking high and low for a better engine mount than the OEM. I've replaced the OEM mount 2 times in 3 months! Any ideas? I really don't want to go with a solid mount, but may have to.

    Thanks

    x2 - I've been really happy with my Mopar 6-speed Challenger mounts. They definitely transmit vibration more than the hydraulic ones, but they aren't as bad as solid.

    Stock power?
    How are they being installed?
    You want to be sure u aren't preloading them on install.
    With that history, I lean to instalation issues, or you're dumping the clutch at 6k.

    Yes, been using the ones for an automatic.

    I only have CAI, and a tune.
    Installed using the factory service manual instructions.
    My nephew is a ASE Dodge service tech. He helped me install them both. He thinks I got hold of a bad batch or something like that. He can't understand why they broke the 2nd time.
    Looks like i will be upgrading to the 6-speed mounts.
    Thanks

    In that case you will want to try the mounts I posted above...I have not heard of a failure, even on high HP cars.
