My biggest draw to Aqua Source is they have a lifetime warranty, and from what I can tell by searching, pretty decent customer service.

Hey guys.... technical question here. I got under the old pickup tonight to finally fix that damn rattling heat shield on the cat. I looked up and noticed one of the motor mount bolts is MIA. There's some rust in the threads, so I am guessing it's been gone a while. I know the Mustangs use something like a 10.9 rated bolt, M10 X 1.5 pitch x 25 mm long. Do any of you know if this is the same size for these trucks?

On a side note, the truck doesn't rattle anymore.

EDIT: Pic added

Huh, not I. Strange though, never heard of the mounts going in these trucks, not MM's anyway.

I'm surprised that it hasn't made a big ruckus yet. The bolt just appears to have fallen out.

Ah, that's what your talking about lol. I've seen bolts like that completely rust away. Looks like it may be the case, some of it (the bottom half) still remains. Unless they are VERY short bolts. Know what I'm saying err seeing ?

The Ford spec is 10.9 grade, M10 X 1.5 pitch X 25.5 mm. The dealer by work didn't have one, so I went to Ray's Fasteners, and he had them in 30 mm length. So, I got that and a thick washer. I'll keep an eye on it, and if it doesn't work, I'll just order one from the dealer. He charged me a dollar for two bolts and an assortment of washers.
