I have an 09' 1500 that didn't come with tow hooks, but I picked some up for it, but only the hooks, no hardware. Does anyone know what nuts and bolts I need to install them. I'll get them from the local hardware store, just not sure what to get. Material, sizes, what do I need?

I would think you need to get the hardened bolts of the proper grade. What you find at the hardware store is not beefy enough for this application. It looks like the GM accessory hooks come with mounting hardware...

 

Only picture I could find.

Bolt PN 11609610 for about 2.50 each

Nut PN 11516078 for about 3.00 each

 

These are for the factory bolts and nuts. Hope this helps...

I installed a grille guard in my truck, used the factory bolts and tow hooks, but I have the bolts and nuts that came with the grille guard if you are interested...

The nuts are more expensive than the bolts? That's insane. Go to a nut and bolt shop. Get some grade 8 stuff and call it a day.

I would just go with a grade 8 bolt and nuts that fit. Probably much cheaper IMO. If your not sure the grade of the bolt, grade 8 bolts have 6 lines/marks on top.

I'll prob go to the hardware store this weekend and match some stuff up.

 

Here are the specs on the bolt and nut:

 

Bolt

BOLT-HFH,M12X1.75X120.9,44.75 THD,26.6 OD,10.9STL,GMW3359,REDUCED BO(FRT TOW HOOK)

 

Nut

NUT,HFH,M12X1.75,14THK,25 O.D.,10,PZOR(FRT TOW HOOK)

 

Now, if this doesn't help then I am out of ideas!

Yes, you definitely need at least grade 8 bolts for mounting the tow hooks. Grade 8 bolts have the ultimate tensile strength of 150 ksi, i.e. for a bolt with 1 inch cross sectional area, a tensile load of 150,000 lbs would have to be applied before the bolt breaks.

The bolts are metric, good luck finding them at the hardware store. . The ones from GM are the right size and strength and are a 10.9 Rating. Grade 8 bolts are good in compression but not always in shear. I think you should use the ones the engineers have spec'd for this application, especially if you're standing beside the cable or chain.

The specs listed above are from the GM catalog.........And in the time we have spent discussing this, ones could have already been sent from the dealer!

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
