Just got new motor mounts, tranny mount, and new devious crossmember. Have the front motor mount bolts in but loose. The rear tailshaft trans mount doesn't line up with the hole. Any suggestions what i am doing wrong or is there a trick?

I would have bolted up the motor to the mounts, the tranny to the mount and then mount the tranny mount. If you already mounted the tramnny mount how did you know where to mount it?

Well the tranny mount that devious makes. It doesn't seem to adjust front to back. Should i modify the trans crossmember?

not saying devious would build the mount wrong, but I would definitly cut into aftermarket parts before I would ever try changing anything else. Sorry man. that's the best I can do without actually seeing the truck... You could try cutting right where the tube mounts to the plate and re-weld it back on. is this the same part???
