ron350 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Has any one purchased a GM motor mount recently? I am not sure if this is a genuine GM 10448575 it has TJO-PJ molded in the rubber and has a very strong cheap China rubber odor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Define *GM*.... GM themselves don't manufacture engine mounts, those are all produced by satellite companies.... such as Anchor or Beck/Arnley (American firms). the one you have there by supplied by ACDelco is an offshore import....not impressive I'm assuming that it did not come across-the-counter from a GM dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron350 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 55trucker you are correct that is an AC Delco from Rock Auto. I am debating sending it back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 It doesn't pull any punches on the label. I feel strongly that MIGHT have been made in China., lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jman093 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 That number is from the "Original Equipment" line. Suppliers have indeed likely changed over the last 20 years on that mount, but it is supposed to be the same part, built to the same specs, all from the same blueprints. A dealer will sell you the same part, and probably for more than $88, since it lists for $120. ACDelco's line for repackaged aftermarket parts is called "ACDelco Professional" (for repackaged parts they feel are decent quality) or "ACDelco Advantage" (for ones they know are crap). rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 GM has sold-out their customers. Ten years ago--probably more--I bought an outside mirror over the parts counter for my '92 Lumina. That piece of sh!t came in a Genuine GM box, was made in Communist China, and the finish went from shiny black like the original, to hateful, chalky grey in SIX MONTHS. The original mirror looked better than the "new" mirror, as did all the ones in the junkyard that I then stocked-up on. The parts GM sells installed on a vehicle are not always the same as what GM sells over the parts counter. The parts-counter stuff is extremely variable, and can be every bit as terrible as Dorman aftermarket crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron350 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 This is the poor factory motor mount that was replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 The hydraulic mounts are shitty anyway. I'd buy something solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Considering GM is now selling a Made in China vehicle in North America, yes many parts are now made in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
