Default Spare tire extension tube

my spare doesn't lower very easily. The tool that inserts mostly spins unless I really hammer it in every few turns. The part doesn't show up on RA

I'm not sure how to read the parts manual it lists 3 with a measurement next to a W.B. 1994 124: W.B. and 1994 112", 131" W.B., (224mm Long) The 3rd one is 95/96. and all 3 have different part numbers.
How do I figure out which one I need. Then if you know where to get one please let me know.

What wheel base is your truck? That one. But you'll need to get it from the boneyard.

Does yours have the hex drive, or the flat drive?

That said - if it's hex drive, you can find hex drive bits to fit a 1/2" drive ratchet and extension; if flat, a 1/2" wide flat tip bit to fit said ratchet and extension will also work.

Well that part number came up for 1989 with the right WB but I wasn't sure. I found a Mopar Parts Giant ad for the same part on a 95 and its wiki said it would work on mine. I called the dealer who told me mine was NLA and could not tell me if the 95 part would work.
yada yada yada I ordered the 95 part and I will see if it works. Plus even with shipping the 95 part was $19 bucks cheaper before shipping on the 89 part. The 95 part #52058545
