if the bolts are $40 new at the dealer why wouldnt you just go to the hardware store and buy bolts that have the same thread pitch for $4? thats what i did when i did my plenum repair and it worked perfectly and saved some money also

 

the reason i went and paid $40 was because i knew they'd work, being from the factory, and the guy knew what bolts i was ordering when i talked to him about it. I didn't have a spare car, to take a bolt outta the motor, and take to the hardware store to compare with. If you can save everyone on the forum 36$ tho, why dont u tell what size and thread pitch u bought, so that everyone can save some money. I dont know what they were, except that they were TTY, and made to hold down the intake manifold. I wasn't the first person in town to come to him asking for the bolts.

 

Done.

Didnt have to pull the head.

Worth every minute of the work. Much nicer now.

 

ya i snapped bolt doing the airgap it sucks ! ! hopefully when i get my dakota it wont do the same thing :/

 

If you paid $40 for the bolts at the dealer, you got ripped off. You should pay no more than $20 for TTY bolts.

 

i paid like $17 from hughes for the tty bolt when i bought my plenum pan
