sounds like you might need a motor mount now and a new hose.

What do you mean by "the engine jumped"? Where did it jump to? How high did it jump?

The engine didn't always run the smoothest so sometimes it would like jump the whole truck, like when you start. And it cut the hose, and smoke went everywhere.

:2cents: if it had a shroud on it you would just have more broken parts
