I think I've got things figured out now. Thanks anyways guys

Hey guys, I've done some searching and found very little about the subject. I'm getting closer to doing my lq9 swap and wondering if anyone knows for sure that the 34" radiator would be a direct swap into my truck. I've read that the shroud would be a little short on the sides but I can deal with that until I get my efans, I just really want the nice stock appearing look for oil cooler lines. I was just going to block them off but I can get the radiator for 50$ so I figured run it. So the question is will the mounting bolts for the top beam of core support bolt up? It looks to me the hoses will reach a few extra inches? Thanks for any help, in advance

One thing we've done with duramax mounts where i work is put a healthy size bolt through them. That clears the block and bottom mount. It may seem redneck but it helps retain some of the anti-vibe and usually won't break again. I have only seen a few if them break and that was on 900+ hp duramax. Maybe An option to consider.

Have you ever checked your steering gear box for slop? I really don't see why it would hit in a turn as there really shouldn't be any flex to it.. I guess it would help to know what kind of headers you have. The way your engine should pull under load in drive is up and looking at my set up you'd have to have alot of flex in your engine mount to hit the steering shaft. I am just brainstorming here so please don't harp on me lol. What I would do first is do a little brake torque standing still, in forward and reverse, and see if your mounts have any excessive movement. You should be able to see through the gap in your hood. I guess the next spot I would check is the bushing unit in the firewall. I know all trucks are different with fitment and everything, but I would definitely check out all the possible culprits before slapping on new motor mounts.... I had issues with my pacesetters smashing into the frame on passenger side from down shifts and such... Never the driver side though.

Should have my springs in a few days and my revised cam choice. I will surely post an update about the finished product. Thanks guys!
