I'm in need of a bolt... one of mine apparently fell out somewhere.. and now i have a leaky header....

If anyone has a spare bolt from either Pacesetter.... or for a 05 GMC Sierra... i'd greatly appreciate it!

 

is it one that goes in the head? or a collector bolt

 

Ill be in Denton this weekend if you meet up with me you can have one of my extras or you could go to the dealer and get one for like .50

 

It connects it to the head..


i'll stop by the dealer 1st and then i'll let ya know! thanks!

 

Ok.. so the dealer was a douche and said they didn't sell anything like that.. -_- and pacesetter isn't responding to any of my emails...


Guess i'm going to have to take a f***in picture of what i need and take it to the dealer... bastards.. -_-

 

Why won't the stock exhaust manifold bolt work?

 

Well at least you found out what it was, and it is an easy fix.

 

I think that's his problem, just tell the dealer that you need and exhaust manifold bolt

 

yeah.. that's what i'm going to do... you would think they would know what i was talking about though... i call things the way i see them.. and i see it missing from my header... so damn it.. i'm going to call it a header bolt..

 

Hey... parts associates don't always know everything about anything. I went to a local dealership looking for 4L60E valve body gaskets. There's a warehouse that supplies them what they sell, and I bought the gaskets by themselves for < $20 a month or so before. The clueless associate kept trying to sell me this bulk overhaul kit for $146, and I kept telling him that GM offers it separate. This guy that's (apparently) been there for years kept telling me that their catalog only shows the overhaul kit, and that they don't offer what I'm talking about. I look at him, and say "I'll be right back". I drive around the corner to the warehouse office, and request what I'm looking for, pay for it, and drive back to the parts office. I bring the gasket only kit w/ a receipt, and tell the guy that's been there for "years" that the online catalog's outdated (after he'd been claiming they have the most updated revision). His jaw dropped, and he said, "I.... I guess I was wrong".

In any case, they may or may not have the manifold bolt in stock at one place, but have them check any GM dealer around your area. Someone's bound to have an exhaust manifold bolt. If not, I know I have a couple of them somewhere around here. At < $1 for postage, PT member can help out another member. The bolt is cheap.
