How to replace and torque Ram 1500 engine & transmission mounts

Support the engine (or transmission) from below with a jack and a block of wood, or from above with an engine support bar, before unbolting any mount — the powertrain will drop otherwise. Replace mounts one at a time so the others hold alignment. Raise or lower the powertrain until the new mount's bolt holes line up WITHOUT prying, then start every bolt by hand to avoid cross-threading. Make the final pass with a calibrated torque wrench, and let the powertrain settle onto all mounts before the last torque check. A mount torqued while the engine is jacked off-center pre-loads the rubber and transmits vibration.
