Your spare tire is useless unless you have it with you when you need it. I don't think people go around stealing spare tires. It's not that profitable.

I don't know what the bolt size is, but just giving you another perspective.

But would you pay for a spare tire, when you can just have it secure.... Just don't like it in the back of my truck bed that's all.

What bolt are you talking about? Not sure I am following what you have lost.

I took off the winch that holds the spare tire. In order to get it off, I had to unscrew a bolt. I lost the bolt and trying to find the bolt size? If that makes sense

It does, have you checked with a dealer to see if they know?

 

Might have to buy the whole assemble.

Why was it laying in the bed?

These trucks have locks in the hole to prevent it from unauthorized lowering if it's on the winch if that's a concern.

Personally, I hate the damn lock and I don't use them. I've never had someone steal my spare tire. It's just one more PITA when I have to change the tire.

For one, it's a plain 17" black steel rim, may even have surface rust. Hardly stylish. Second, it's a crummy Goodyear SR-A. Not exactly in high demand.

By that logic you are using, do you have wheel locks on at least one lug of every wheel? What if they put you up on blocks?

They told me its a M14 with 1.5 thread but haven't had luck find it at auto parts stores.

Type in the bolt specs, you'll find one. I am almost certain that General Motors is not making custom fasteners for something as silly as a spare tire winch.

You'll probably want an M14 with a flange on the head. Grade 8 or at least stainless.

You did not specify a length, but if you look under the truck, I'm sure you can estimate.

      There you go again.  Preaching your politics and worse case scenarios.  And what are you doing to make the world less polarized?

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.

      So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized.

      4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.

      All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
