    I had my Local shop order the bolt for me. This shop is a town over. They claimed they had them in stock is why I went down there. When I got the bolt in I had to drive though that town to go help one of my friends So I dropped by to show them the RIGHT bolt. And they tried to act like well this part number isnt even for a 5.3 its for a ls1. When I say researched the computer system when I orderd it from my local place I was back there with the parts guy having him look up the bolt EVERY way we could think to see if we could ever pull up the completely wrong motor/bolt to explain their error. The part number for the crank bolt is listed as the same for a ls1, 5.3, 4.8 and 6.0 and it also has l33, lm7, lq4, etc as ways to look up the SAME bolt. My local parts guys exact phrase was " I have no idea how they came up with the wrong bolt unless they just looked up the completely wrong truck "

    Oh my. BTW, I think there is more than one kind...?

    Then again I know an 05 LS2 Vette is the same as .... let's say a black RCSB sportside 1999 with a swapped 6.0 and an 82mm turbo.

This part number pulls up the ls1, 5.3, 4.8, and 6.0, I guess both the dewtards thought I was stupid enough to not research how their lil system worked at the other dealership while he was ordering my bolt. Freaking morons. I wont deal with them again. Their dumb. And they hate admiting their wrong. No one go to Bastrop LA for any Chevy warranty work. They use the wrong sized bolts. Obviously.
    Man, I thought you knew better than to go top Bastrop anyway.. Especially after they had my old Cobalt SS 17 times in 7 months and never fixed it..
