Hello all,What I imagined would be brief Google search or at VERY most a call to the local Dodge parts centre has somehow proven otherwise.
The problem is; I have a 1992 cummins 5.9 12 valve engine which is intended to get swapped into a Ford or GMC one ton eventually.

I am in the process of building that engine and need the three starter bolts....yes....that easy.... The three factory starter mount bolts. Yet neither other threads on the net nor the dealer could tell me the part number or the bolt sizing to get ones made.

All I have been able to learn on the net is that they are NOT p/n 3903834 /m10-1.50x35mm as this bolt is only for 2nd gens.
Lastly, no I do not have any existing starter bolts to take out and just match up..

Any input would be absolutely great.

If you have a Fastenal store in your area they have nuts and bolts to fit most anything. They probably have the plug gauges to check what size bolts you need for the starter. Hopefully somebody else on the forum can chime in with sizes.

Oliver probably has them in stock.

I am pretty sure they are M10-1.75x 38ish he stock ones have a 10mm 12 point headed flange bolt. I had mine out Tuesday.

Thanks for the quick replies gents. I am really trying to source these things and have been for a while.

Hopefully someone can confirm the m10-1.75x38(ish) specs?. Not questioning you mate, just looking to have them made (once) at a hardware store if no one has the part #.

Thanks again guys!

Little blurb is my 90-93 mopar parts book says part number is 4429834 on page 8-900. no thread listed

I just did a google search for "Mopar 4429834" and found lots of them. Kind of pricey though. If I had one of the old ones I'd try to find a generic replacement.

Unless you are trying to build a 100 point concourse show truck, I would just get grade 8 or better bolts. use a lock washer and some blue locktight and call it good. You can only see 1 of them from the top anyway...Mark

I used the bolts from my 92 when I installed the 2nd gen adapter and starter. I don't see what the problem is here.

As Edwin suggested, I do have a container of factory starter bolts in the shop if you need the OEM 12 point 10 MM bolts.
PM me if you would like.

Otherwise a bolt like Mark suggested would work.

Try removing a bolt from another part that looks similar and try threading it in....if it fits then go to the harware store and get some grade 8 bolts that match and your done.

I myself have buckets of old nuts, bolts, screws, washers etc, from many projects, part cars/trucks, and stuff over the years, very rarely do I ever have to buy any.

Thanks a lot gents. I will go ahead and order that part number and go for it. !! Thanks again!
