2011 Ford F250 Super Duty Cab Mount Replacement | S&B Silicone Cab Mounts
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 25. 07. 2024
- Today we installed new S&B silicone cab mounts on my 2011 Ford F250 SuperDuty. A few months ago I began noticing a squeaking noise that sounded like it was coming from the back seat. It was driving me insane! I couldn't figure out where the squeak was coming from until I crawled under the truck and saw the cab mounts were completely WASTED! That also explained how terrible the ride quality had gotten.
After some research I landed on the S&B silicone cab mounts. They have great reviews and S&B guarantees them for life. I called around to some local performance shops to get quotes on replacing the cab mounts. The best I could find was $800 for labor. So I decided to tackle the job myself and save some money.
It took about 7 hours to replace all 8 cab mounts on my driveway using a bottle jack and hand tools. But after a couple test drives I am happy to say the S&B silicon cab mounts were worth the money and the effort to install them! My truck rides smooth as butter now!

I hate you for making this well done, informative video. Because of you I spent $600.00 on back ordered mounts for my 05 F250 6.0. this morning. Because of you I will spend an entire day miserable attempting this repair. This is all your fault sir. Thanks for video. Wish me luck! Shayne
Haha! I take full responsibility! lol Good luck Shayne! Let me know if you run into any issues. You won't regret the purchase. Thanks for watching!
@@WillowRidgeAcres started project after-work Friday. Worked about 3hrs. Sat.hit it again early and was done and cleaned up by 1pm. 2005 F250 6.0 rides better than new. Very excited. Time to relax and watch fireworks. Thanks for info and inspiration!
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear you got them on! They are worth the money and the work of putting them on though, right? No more clunking over every bump
I only spent $400
I enjoyed the video, especially the under cab shots and the added "father son" portion. Great lessons for young folks to work with their hands and learn from dad. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked the under cab shots at the end. Figured Iâd use my GoPro for something. đ
Wow man! The video of the under carriage at the end really shows just how bad it was! I'm getting ready to tackle this myself and am definitely going with the S&B kit. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the video. I followed your instructions and everything went fine. I only had to use the torch on 2 of the bolts, the came out pretty hard heated or not. I had a couple of the mounts that were stuck together pretty hard but a little prying and hammering and a few choice words they came apart!! Overall it went pretty good. Took me about 4.5 hours to complete the task. And what a difference it made! Thanks for your help!
Very nice and timely video. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I did my 2016 F350 yesterday. I used a map gas torch to heat up the body mounts until the old rubber started to melt. I then used a 15 mm 6 point socket with 12 " extension on a long 1/2" ratchet. It was tough turning them ,but all 6 bolts came out with no problem. I then used a floor jack and a 2x6 to raise the side of the truck. Put in all mounts and tightened up bolts. 2 hour job rolling around on the concrete driveway. Test drive and seemed like a new truck . My truck has 200,000 miles. Great product
Having this same problem canât wait to install thanks for posting đđŒ
No problem! Best of luck with your install!
I like the camera showing before and after what the bushings are doing. I installed the same on my 2007 Ford f250 a month ago, now I have to replace front end ball joints, etc.
Glad you liked that! I thought I would put my GoPro to good use and was curious to see the before and after myself
This was a very very good video. I am about to attempt this with the s&b mounts as well....Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your install. Let me know if you run into any trouble
Thank you for the video and pro tips.
You were making me nervous, sticking your hand in between the body and frame.
Yeah I probably shouldnât have that much faith in the jack đ
Finally a video showing the full processđđœ badass truck my guyđ„
Thank you!
Agreed, S&B's video never showed how they got the body separated from the frame. Great Job!
Great Video. I've got the same issue with my F550 Work truck. I will be doing this sometime this week. My front 2 on the right side are the worst. I was mostly worried about lifting the body and pulling a harness or something. I'm glad to see you didn't have this issue. I have a single cab so I only have 6 to dear with. And it's always nice to get paid to do it lol
Good luck with the install! It's not terribly difficult, just takes longer with a jack than an overhead lift. Clean Civic coupe you've got! Thanks for watching!
Waiting for mine to be delivered and will be doing them this weekend!!
Be prepared for it to take several hours to do them all. And the stock rubber mounts in the middle of the cab were the worst ones to get out. But all said and done, Iâm glad I did them myself and saved at least $500 in labor. The ride quality afterwards is so much better.
Such a great video! Refurbishing a 2010 work truck and noticed the mounts looked bad. Was about to order dorman mounts about about $50 each. These really are a steal for how much better they seem to be. This is not even something I thought of doing before.
Glad you found the video helpful!
Nice getting my set this week. Good tips.
Hope you enjoy them! Thank you for watching!
Thank thank you finally detailed video instruction with complete and detailed instructions.
Absolutely. Glad you found it helpful!
Iâm fixing to do this for the 2nd time on my 2011 Super Duty. First time I screwed up and carried it to the stealership! $1328 later hey had put the same Ford OEM crap in. Fast forward 6 years later, same issue however they wonât screw me again! Thank You for this video!!!
Go with the S&B mounts this time. They are pricey but you won't regret it. The build quality is superior to the OEM mounts.
Do you need to take all bolts out, on one side, before you Jack the cab up or can you swap/ Jack up one at a time?
Nice vid man! I'm planning to do this to my '16 cuz she squeaks like crazy on any bumps lol
I have this truck black ops edition urs looks so much alike , mine a squeaking gonna change , great video ty
Saved a shit ton of $$$ and spent quality dad/son time, that you can't put a price on. Thanx for the vid man. Also, that squeak, I had that a while ago thought it was the bottle jack under the back seat. It went away but I'm gonna look at that body mount, I know my fronts are gone so that one probably is too.
Glad my video helped! Iâm willing to bet your body mount in the back is shot too. That one was the worst on my truck. Literally no bushing material left. Metal on metal.
First video I have commented on . It was great love how you had son help think I'll have my 11 year old help me great job thanks for info
Thanks for watching Brett! It was a great project to get my son involved to help and learn. Let me know how it goes on your's!
Excellent video
Thank you
Excellent video, thanks
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Not only was it a good father/son project, but it sure saved a lot on the labor cost. Maybe he had a good lunch from dad?
Thumbs up, for sure. Take care. Aloha!

Howdy from Texas đ đ€ Thanks for watching! And yeah, we try to do as much work as we can either around the farm, house, or trucks/cars. It sure saves money on labor and teaches my boys the value of good honest hard work.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. That is so true, and how it should be. You are creating the foundation for their lives. They may not thank you now, but they will in time. Thank you again for a great video! Take care, and aloha to you and your family!

Thanks for the video, I will add this to my to-do list, but do you mind telling me the lift you have on your truck? That's the perfect height I'm looking for. Thanks again.
OMG I didn't know about these. I have the same squeak. I thought it was the loose running board.
Best video showing how to do it
I have a 2012 F250 with a similar looking bushing and body lines that are off. I've bought the S&B mounts just trying to decide if I'll do them myself or have a shop do them due to the number of videos I've seen where people run into issues getting the old bolts out. I was wondering did you have any vibration in the steering wheel with the old worn out mounts by chance that went away with the new mounts? I have a little bit of vibration almost like a warped rotor but can't tell if it's caused by the rough ride on the crappy bushings. I figure I'll replace the bushings first then see but was just curious. Thanks!
Will this help soften the ride ? Lately I feel like my F250 is a bit too rough. Not extreme. But definitely feel a lot of little bumps from time to time.
Thanks for the video , just order s&b body mounts yesterday, mine are really bad , and also thanks for showing were to place the jack since Iâm doin them
Myself, holla at u from Texas
Glad I could help! Let me know how it goes installing them! The stock middle mounts were the most difficult to remove, they are rubber instead of the the poly/foam so they weren't rotted like the others.
@@WillowRidgeAcres true story, mine r the same middle not rotted either was it hard to get the front 2 out , I seen people were they disconnected their lines , not doin all that
Had no issues with the front mounts. It was a little more challenging to find a good spot to place the jack and still have room to remove the cab mount. But it came out easily.
@@WillowRidgeAcres hello, just wanted to get back with you and let you know how it went , S&B body mounts really made the deference truck rides smoothly no more vibration, body mounts were badd was long overdue , I did exactly wat u did in your video had trouble with 2 of the bolts heads got rounded off had to use die but it all worked out đȘ thanks againđâȘïžđšâđ©âđŠâđŠđŁđŠđđŠđŻđ€
@@speckledtroutfisherman1619 good to hear! They really are great. Only regret I have is not doing them sooner! God bless! đ
Dude, two of mine were rusted and fused shut and I had to grind off. Im am so happy to be done with those old "slap" body mounts.
Riding much better now?
@@WillowRidgeAcres
Its like riding on a cloud. I can't believe how much these mounts change the entire driving experience plus a significant reduction in sway while cornering. But now I find other problems, but getting better every fix. Almost 400k on it and still hauls đ Asp? My emojis don't have a donkey.
These S&B mounts are the best out there. IMO
So much better than stock. Wish Ford would have went with silicone as OEM
Yup that's it...that's the sound that damn clunking sound I hear! Oh Lord I can't wait to hear my truck after I replaced the mounts this weekend!
How's it sounding now? Were you able to get the mounts replaced?
@@WillowRidgeAcres world changing! My truck sounds so different it's amazing!
I got a pair of Dorman mounts from Orileys. Same crap as factory Fords. I just started this evening... im taking back dormans and going go all out on S&B set for my 08 250 crewcab
Yes I saw some very mixed reviews on the Dorman mounts. Some saying that they only lasted 6 months before needed to be replaced again. I definitely wanted no part of that!
Same crap as factory Ford? đ Just going by this video that crap lasted 10 years.
@@elvism684 lasted? Existed in a state of rotting, crumbling useless trash is more like it.
Just ordered my set for a 2013! I spent probably $5k rebuilding the suspension front/rear, new res shocks, springs, bump stops, and custom leaf pack and my cab is still noisey and rough over bumps, looking at my mounts they looked compressed and stiff as hell, I bet this will make a nigh and day difference in my ride!
Thanks for watching! Have you gotten your cab mounts installed yet? Did it make a difference for you?
@@WillowRidgeAcres they certainly made a difference, the cab is more quite and I don't hear all the creeks and groans I use it.
To be honest it isn't a night/day difference like I thought it would be, but it's certainly noticeable. Removing the old pucks they were hard as rock, so I know it was only a matter of time before they started to degrade and i was going to have to replace them anyways, so might as well replace them with something that will last the life of the truck.
@@benlzicar7628 sounds like yours were still in better shape than mine. The rear cab mounts on mine were completely missing the hard foam. So I was riding metal on metal. And the cab would feel like it was bottoming out when I would go over speed bumps or bumps in the road.
Man I literally did the same thing trying to eliminate this clunking sound going down the road. Ball joints, shocks, springs, tie rods, axles, hubs I got a new front end on my 2012 đ€ŠđŸââïž. This weekend that clunking sound will FINALLY be eliminated!!
Did you measure the cab and bed height before and after to see if you regained any lost height from them being trashed?

Everyone's comments on here have been very helpful. I have a couple questions on the S & B mounts as mine are being delivered today.
I have seen a lot of comments on the retainer nuts (or clips) breaking or spinning.
1. Are these something I should go ahead and order before getting started? From what I can see, they do not come with the kit?
2. Are the clips in every position or just the front?
3. How the heck do you get to these things? And do you need to get to them to have a tool holding it when you start removing the bolt?
Again thanks everyone for the input and your help is greatly appreciated. I'm ready to get these done and excited I'm installing a Titan tank as soon as I get these done.
I love this!!
The truck is riding like itâs brand new again. Smooth as butter!
You should unbolt all bolts at the same time so you donât bind up then you can change 1 whole side at a time
Did you undo all the bolts before you jacked up the body? Or just do one at a time?
Did you consider another brand mounts? Amozon sells some for $125.00
I am curios how much different they are, allegedly also silicone.
Just installed what a difference! Mine we gone in back middle were okish and front were shot also!
Oh gosh! You were basically riding a see-saw down the road. I'm sure the S&B mounts made a huge difference!
I also have a 2011 Ford f250 super duty how many body mounts does it have,. Thank you and great video
The 4 door crew cab has 8 cab mounts
@@WillowRidgeAcres thank you, I appreciate the response
It looks as if you pulled the bolt and mount one at a time, unless I missed something, or did you pull all the bolts first on one side before jacking the cab up? Great video, thanks for sharing.
I was able to pull the old cab mounts by jacking the cab up at each cab mount location. I didnât have to lift it much
I took out all the bolts on a side and placed a 4x4 along the cab and jacked it up, it was very easy. I did NOT replace the mounts by the radiator because the body nut broke loose making solo a no go for me. I also had one mount still meh, but had to cut it with a grinder. I recommend a full face shield and long sleeves.
Awesome video! Question: so we can do one mount at a time and not have to loosen all mounts on one before trying to lift the cab?
Thanks for watching! Yes, I was able to loosen and replace each mount one at a time. You really only need to lift the cab an inch or two in order to get the old mount out.
I have the same questionâŠ..so you can loosen just one at a time? I have plans to only replace the rear upper and lower. Please advise.
I just did this for my 09 F350. You got lucky none of yours spun out lol. Only thing you should have done differently, is to take all the bolts for every mount out first before you lift the cab off the frame. Otherwise, great video!
Thanks for watching Vinny, glad you found it helpful! How are you liking the new cab mounts?
@WillowRidgeAcres I love them! Such a huge difference in ride comfort. I'm just mad I waited so long lol
Quick question, are you unscrewing all the cab bolts before trying to raise it with the jack? Or did you go one bolt at a time?
Great video, thanks! So it looks like you removed one bolt at a time, leaving all the others tightened up? I thought I would need to loosen them all one one side before the cab would lift up? Thanks for any tips on the lifting method.
Thanks for watching! Yes I worked on one mount at a time. You really only need to lift the cab from the frame a couple inches in order to get the mount out. I used a bottle jack with a length of 4x4 lumber to give it the extra height since my truck is lifted.
Biggest challenge was getting the middle mounts removed. The middle mounts are rubber and didnât want to budge. Took extra time with a hammer and pry bar to get them out. Good luck!
Btw one of my front was just spinning... remove headlight Ă nd a 7/8 open wrench might slide in like it did for me to hold top nut... I will admit it was kinda of a bitch...But I got it... use penetrator oil thru hole in frame rails to soak top nut night before... Good tips and video bud. Nice truck!
Thanks! Glad you were able to get your's figured out and fixed! And thanks for watching!
Hey quick question, aside from the squeaking noise did you ever experience hitting bumps and it sounding like metal on metal noise?
Oh definitely. Going over speedbumps, the cab would literally bottom out and you could hear the metal on metal
Did it almost sound like there wa shed hop before and was the ride smoother and quieter after?
Oh I could totally hear it bottom out on the back cab mounts when going over large bump. The ride is 100% smoother and quieter now.
When I go over a bump i can hear mostly on the rear that something hits like a clunk metal on metal noise. Can this be de body mounts??
Yes, that is most likely the cab mounts.
Can you say, how long it takes to replace all of them?? Btw, great video thanks!
I believe it took me about 6 hours to replace all of them. Thanks for watching!
I agree. I had some other things to attend to so I replaced one side before dark and did the other before noon. I know it doesn't help much on the time frame but either way.... wear your safety glasses.
What size lift you run in on that rig? It looks good!!
It's actually just a Ready Lift leveling kit and 35" tires
I have an 02 and the mounts look fully intact? Wonder how yours failed so soon?
2008 and up ford changed the cab bushing material to a foam type rather than a silicone type that was used in previous models. The foam on newer models falls apart! Some owners with 2019 and newer are having to replace them. My 99 and 2000 can bushings are original, but my 08 are trash!
Did you do each one individually or undo one side then jack it up
I did each one individually. It sure would have been easier with a lift, would have been able to lift the cab and do all of the mounts
liked an subbed gj buddy ty for video
Absolutely. Glad you found it helpful!
So what should we torque them at? Does a long bed have more?
Torque specs are 76ft-lbs or about 5 ugga-duggas. The cab mounts are only for the cab so the bed length doesnât matter. The super crew has more cab mounts than a single or extended cab though.
I was replacing the mount on under driver side and seemed like i could not jack it up high enough, did u have that problem?
No I donât recall having that problem. Were you able to get it out?
@@WillowRidgeAcres i had to grind it down a little to get it out, the hard ware piece that comes out from the top, i kept jacking and tire started coming off the ground and still didnt have enough clearance, but sucks because i dont like these cab bushings i got from amazon, they make alot of popping and i can feel everything under floorboard
I've seen some videos where they pull the carpet back and tighten a nut. How come you didn't have to do that.
Hi Marie, thank you for watching! I remember seeing similar videos when I was researching doing my cab mounts myself. I could be wrong, but I believe it was the previous generation Super Duty trucks (pre 2011) that had the nut under the carpet in the interior. On my 2011 there was nothing I had to do from the interior.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Mine is a 08.
@@mariewhite7893 No problem! The S&B cab mounts are definitely worth the premium price!
he heated up the bolts - never had to worry about the top nuts spinning
Tips alittle hot on that torch bro but great video thank you
Glad you found it helpful! đ
While I certainly appreciate your ingenuity and hard work, it scares the @#$@ out of me to see that hydraulic jack/wood combo. That's a life insurance policy check waiting to happen. The way that you explain what is going on and why is perfect - and love the before/aft videos. Please be careful buddy. Sh*t happens to good people.
Ah yes, that was pretty sketchy. I've since bought a new jack to do it the proper way going forward. đ Thank you for looking out!
The cab can only fall back 3-4 inches onto the frame. I honestly don't see the danger. The wheels were still installed on the truck sitting feet off the ground with plenty of room to work from underneath. If the wheels were removed it would be a different story.

$500-$800 labor to replace cab mounts... January 2021, and I see you're in my area (I'm in Canyon Lake). I can't imagine what the shops around here are charging now. Guess I'll be doing this myself like everything else.
Yeah it was definitely worth the effort to replace them myself. Have you tackled the job yet?
@@WillowRidgeAcres not yet. Just did brakes all around. Itâs next on the list.
@@TexasLeverGunner How'd the brake job go? I'm about due for a good brake job soon
@@WillowRidgeAcres Went fine, I didn't do it myself as I didn't have time. The 17+ super duty's are much more expensive than ours which is a good thing. Front rotors for a 19 are pushing a grand according to a friend who just had his done.
Donât bother with the heat. If it doesnât come off after a few walks get out your disc and cut it off where they meet takes 3 min and they fall apart. Ask me how I know
did you notice your bed was crooked before you replace them???
Yes for sure. The body lines didn't match up from the cab to the bed. The cab was a little low
I wish someone knew what temperature to heat the bolts up to
Itâs at least one minute.. I found out after stripping a cage nut lol
Thanks for watching Jay! Yeah, I'm not sure what exact temperature. I went with "just hot enough to remove" đ
Is there a torque setting for this?
I'm sure there is. I just hit it with about 4 ugga duggas

Dime donde los compro

Why you jacking the whole truck up like that?
well i just took all mine old ones off and im starting to think i may have wasted $500 for new ones
Itâs only a lifetime warranty if you take it to and have a qualified shop do the install. It says on the instructions that if you install it yourself you void the lifetime warranty. You should be telling the viewers that in your video. Otherwise great video!
Great point! I'm terrible at reading the fine print. Lifetime warranty void or not, the build quality of the S&B mounts is so good I'm not worried about it! Thanks for watching!
Did you torque the bolts to 76ft lbs ?
Is this covered by ford s warranty or a recall ?
No, I don't believe the issue with the stock cab mounts deteriorating is covered under warranty or recall.
It figures more money spent on something that should have been covered in the first place .lol thanks
@@tom73055 It is a pain but the S&B cab mounts are much better quality than the OEM
Thanks for responding back .so far mine are still in good condition for a 2015
