Brown Dog MML issues

I bet Tim at BD would honor the return if you can't get rid of the excessive vibes. I agree with whoever said Phone Call. Email is one thing but he's going to want all kinds of information. He did when I called him. Year, engine, details of vibes, etc...

EDIT: Looks like you've already got some direction, Disregard!
Was running into multiple issues but a few phone calls got the vibes to die down tremendously. Zero vibes in the steering wheel, just little rattles that I never noticed before. Like the bezel around the radio, something inside the drivers side door.

That's probably because it's 19years old. We all had a few screws loose at 19!

The fix for me was to ratchet straps the motor forward, rear drive line towards the passenger side, and to elongate the mounting holes for the transmission mount to allow the motor to come forward.
Question for those that know - is this type of adjustment usually needed for BD motor mounts, or any brand replacement mounts for that matter, when installing on a 4.0L? Never having done a MM, just curious. Sounds way more involved than just removing the old, and installing the new. Or is this simply a 2.5L thing?

When I talked with Tim at brown dog he said it all depends. 95% are easy, the other 5% takes lots of imagination. Needless to say, he was here for the long haul and if anymore issues arise I can call back.
