leversole Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 ...been living with a loose cab with no rubbers on one side...tried steel shims but they vibrated out (the nut and bolt are loose and frozen)...tired of the hard banging and feeling that the cab would fly off onto the road decided to try and fix it today, I didnt know about the rubber mounts till I saw them in my service manual the other day...any how, had some leftover 1/4" rubber from the pad I made a floor mat out of and thought I could make some rubber shims, to raise the cab back up to where it should be and tighen it down with a new nut and bolt...success, it is like driving a new truck!

The durometer hardness of the rubber you have used will probably be insufficient in long term service; you did a good job for the short term. Those insulators take a beating.
