So I have no clue, thus I am repeating what I was told:

My exhaust flange bolt, between the manifold and exhaust is missing. It looks like it was unscrewed. Does this make sense?

Can this bolt just fall off? Or was it unscrewed and the previous owner didn't put it back on?

What size of bolt do I need? What does this mean?

Argh. Irma was going well...now she's not happy between my coolant and now random bolts missing.

Thanks for any advice.

 

The studs can work themselves loose. You can get a new one with a nut at the dealer, or most exhaust shops will have replacements.

 

This is not a huge problem. Like OK said, they can work loose over time. Just need to go to a muffler shop and buy a new nut and stud. Dealer will charge you about $20 for a $2 stud and nut.

What's your coolant issue?

 

[Note to Moderators...I apologize for the double posting...my first post (and second on this topic) don't show up for me in the forum. I do see the post if I go to my user CP]

The closest land rover dealer is down in Phoenix. I'm about 1.5-2 hours away.

I will check to see if there is an exhaust/muffler place around.

Is there a specific size I need to request??

 

if you take it in there, open the hood, point at the hole where the bolt goes, and tell him you are missing an exhaust flange bolt... the guy will look at you, look at the part, walk away, and come back with the bolt in hand..

 

Kind of thought Phoenix (actually Snottsdale) would be the closest dealer. Hour and a half to 2 hours is a long drive for an exhaust stud. Are you any closer to Flagstaff? If there is not an exhaust shop nearby I know there's at least one in Flagstaff.

Any muffler shop should be able to look up what size you need. If not they can certainly climb under the truck and look at it.

This is for the kit and gasket. The studs and nuts are listed separately.

 

I knew I could count on your guys!!!

Thanks a bunch...I appreciate your time. Bolt problem solved. Coolant problem to be determined...

 

If you knew the community I lived in...you wouldn't trust the guy so easily

 

ANOTHER DUMB GIRL QUESTION:

I see a stud and nut versus a bolt option.

Which do I need? Maybe I'll order a nut, a stud, and a bolt to find out...haha.
