not at all...........

DO NOT replace parts till you properly diagnose the issue

Hey man; when you say 'not at all' to the timing belt statement, are you saying that a faulty timing belt is Not the source of the vibration? thanks

DesertHonda hasn't been on here for a long time, but I'm pretty sure he meant the timing belt isn't the cause of the vibration.

Okay then thanks for letting me know. My '96 has 338,000 miles and i'm already having to shell out $700 for a T belt job and just can't afford that and also have to pay my repair guy to replace motor mounts as well. My mom gave me this old car when she went in the nursing home and Im not sure what to do with it. Thanks again

If money is an issue, then you definitely want to inspect the motor mounts before spending money on replacing. It isn't a terrible DIY job. You just need to support the engine with a block of wood and a jack. The rear motor mount is probably the most difficult to access and replace.

$700 is a decent price in my opinion. If the side motor mount is shot, then it has to be removed for the timing belt job anyways. I'm a fan of getting used parts from u-pull-it yards vs buying a new part for a 26 year old car.

Your other option is to sell as-is.

Thanks; selling as is is sadly looking like the better option. I have my 91 dakota running good and a 94 dakota just needs a fuel pump and front shocks. those 2 are the devils I know :)
