ArdWrknTrk Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The studs in my ‘84 5.8 are 7/16-14. I bought the Dorman studs that everyone has and they didn’t fit. Don’t remember the part number off hand. Mark What size studs did you buy, Mark? You do realize that for decades the only thing Dorman did were wheel and engine studs (plus unique fasteners) The OP replied that the ones I linked above were a perfect match for his 4.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that for decades the only thing Dorman did were wheel and engine studs (plus unique fasteners) The OP replied that the ones I linked above were a perfect match for his 4.9 It's been a while but I bought them at Autozone and they must've been listed for my truck or I wouldn't have bought them. *cough cough* (Though sometimes the listings are such a clusterfuck I order things that aren't listed when I know -- or hope, if I don't know -- that they will interchange.) Anyway I still have them and I pulled them out and they are Dorman 03129, which are metric and don't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remember what Dorman sold at the time or when they introduced the HELP stuff, but I do know that some of their stuff is junk and some is perfectly good.

I often do my own research and go in to a store "I want ABC's part number 654321" "Whats the vehicle?"... It's not a vehicle, it's a flying carpet. Do you have one in the warehouse or not? If someone asks me what engine I have when I want a headlight I just walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
