you don't say which model you have, but all of my diesels had a shock absorber or two on the front of the engine to help with the shakes.

Yes, your mounts are probably weak, but check out those shocks. I think they call them dampers. Good luck!

Look at the engine shocks on each side of the engine. Sometimes the shock mount (a separate rubber part from the shock) will fail. Easy to spot a bad one if you examine these parts while the engine is running.
