hardware ?
OK so I sheared a couple of bolt that connect the tranny support for lack of a better word. It is the rubber vibration isolator between the crossmember and tranny. So after going to four different hardware stores I cant find any grade 8 metric hardware or they have a very limited selection. The parts guy at the dealer told me they were 10mm X 30mm X 1.25 TP or 1.5 TP I cant remember. Ace had the correct size in grade 5 and stainless. My experience at work has proven stainless to be pretty tough. My question is what should I put in it ? The truck is on jackstands right know and I need to get it on the road asap. Pretty sad when you have to speacial order a metric bolt for you American truck. Phil out

I would say use what you can find to get it up and going. Then look for a nut and bolt store in your area. Not sure where you live and whats around but I know here locally we have 2 stores that carry specialty nuts and bolts and have never had a problem locating an odd size bolt.NAPA also tends to have a little better selection than most for automotive bolts.

Cool yeah there is a speacialty store some where here in Santa Cruz CA. Lived in Raleigh for a while. I asked the Dodge dealer parts man if he could order them he said just go to the hardware store. I wonder what the stock hrdware for that app is ?

Is the dealer prohibitively expensive?
Often, their hardware is cheaper overall than going aftermarket, and they'll have the correct metric bolts in the strength needed (8.8 = Gr5, 10.6 = Gr8).
