Hmmm, first mount failure I've heard of. Not sure hard launches can take
all the blame though, as I have over 1500 documented drag strip runs on my
nearly 11 year old mounts and they're fine so far. Course I also have only
29,000 miles on the truck. If yours is a daily driver with a lot of miles
I'd suspect that's a major contributing factor. You know.... street
driving can be really tough on a vehicle. ;-)
