How did you reinstall the new hooks without removing the bumper?

I cut my bolts for a bull bar and want to reinstall my tow hooks but see no other way other than removing the bumper.

Just pushed the new hooks back in.  There is a plastic piece with a notch in it and a piece of foam.  Didn't have to remove bumper at all.

Yes, cut the bolt. If you bought the hooks from GM they come with new hardware, so no point in trying to save the old bolt by tearing off/moving things that don't need to be touched. Above poster with

NO, you do NOT have to cut the bolt. I did this last month, with the help of a you tube video on installing a bull bar a guy showed 3 extra bolts that you undo and pry up on the top piece where the he

2014-2015 correct. Changed on 2016 and up. I know, just checked this weekend, my 2016 Sierra does not have the same exposed bolts to undue.

Anyway you can tell me the stats on the bolt head to install the hooks?  I'd like to pick up two from HD (my truck is a 2WD) since I'm buying my recovery hooks on CL.

18mm hex head bolt.  You should get 2 per hook if bought new.

I was wondering more about the bolts, the long bolt that goes through the tow hooks, ( the one you had to cut to remove the hooks) how’d you get that bad boy reinstalled?

Just turn it around  and come in the other way.   I believe from the factory the bolt head is facing inboard.  Just turn the bolt and come in from the outboard side and put the nut on the inboard side.

Do you happen to know what the thread pitch is?  18x1.5?

@ChevyRoofer and @Waterfowler41

I'll be sending you your refund tonight WaterFowler so that you don't have to spend money on me shipping them to you unless you'd still like that. That is up to you.

The bolts you're looking for are class 10.9 bolts.

M12x1.75.

2x 110mm bolts

2x 50mm bolts

2x m12x1.75 nuts.

You can find the bolts here.

https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-hex-head-screws/=1a6s92v

Either a 45 or 50 will work. Hell a 40mm will work as well. The 100 should work as well instead of a 110mm.

 

Trying to thread the nut however seems like its some sort of locknut. It doesn't have any insert though but I would suggest you get a locknut and a washer or just the flanged nut and some threadlocker.

 

Locknut here 

https://www.mcmaster.com/#hex-locknuts/=1a6sa3x

 

The flanged locknuts are available here.

https://www.mcmaster.com/#hex-locknuts/=1a6sar4

All of these look like they want you to buy quite a few to get the couple you need. 

 

Of course you can always source these from your local hardware store although I couldn't find any class 10 flanged locknuts at my Lowes.

I'm sorry, but at 500 bucks for a set of tow hooks, that is insane. You can get the red ones from GM for 100 bucks or the black for 50. That price is way too rich for my blood.

Just now saw the GM chrome hooks for $120 on ebay...

I have a 18 Silverado 1500 and cannot find the actual chevy tow hook or specific instructions to install one. It does not have the cut outs yet

Welcome to the site. Can you post a picture of the front of your truck? Did not realize there was model without tow hooks on it from the factory.

Old thread but thought it was fitting here. Rough country released a tow hook to d ring option for around $70 (doesn’t include tow hooks). They sell them on Amazon as well. Glad you guys were here to help me feel less crazy about my 16’ not having the 3 bolts from the video

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
