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.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
