P1000 Broken engine mounts?

[2-Lipps]

Hey Y'all!
I've got an'18 P1K-5 Deluxe. Over the weekend the wife and I took a buddy n his girlfriend for a night ride to look at Christmas lights.
My buddy, who's a pretty talented auto mechanic, was sitting in the rear on the driver's side. He was swearing up and down that he could hear and feel the engine "banging", and says the engine mounts must be broken. I haven't noticed anything and went on this site and to "YouTube University" to see if anyone had anything on replacing the engine mounts. Can't find anything on the subject, which tells me it's probably not a common problem.
Anyone have issues like this? Any links on how to change the mounts?
Thanks.

Have you pulled the skid plate or lifted the bed and looked to see where and how the motor mounts yet?

Hey Jeremie.
I just had this issue last night, so, no I haven't really looked into it just yet.
TBH, not really sure at this point where (or how many) the mounts even are...

Welcome from Commie run Michigan!

Congrats on your first ever post since joining in 20'
You must know the rules by now as in rule #4
Pics Or It Didn't Happen! But u have to do 2 now, one of the rig, and 1 of your motor mounts to see if they really are bad as in cracks or broken. Plus miles and such.

went on this site and to "LUBETube University" to see if anyone had anything on replacing the engine mounts.

Also fixed it for ya!

Almost wondering if you have pushed and bent up the braces that the skid plate is mounted to and your skid plate is pushed up tight against the motor . ???
