Engine cradle
Ok first thing where can I get cradle bolts? On of mine apparently is stripped. Two how do I bolt it back up? The person that did it told me "good luck with that."

The number I get for the bolt is GM 11589009.

That bolt isn’t stripped, the cage nut is spinning

Post #100, starts a conversation about cage nuts

So can I get the bolts at a auto parts store? Like O'Rileys or AutoZone?

Is there some reason to completely avoid a GM parts department or ebay?

I ordered mine from RockAuto. But you could see in my link a link to Fastsuv and the dimensions of the bolts

14 mm 2.0 nuts, he doesn’t say the length of the bolt just the part number

I believe there is a hardness spec. Why is getting the exact part from a GM dealer a problem? Probably in stock, don't know if you don't ask.

The bolts thread into a nut that is welded on the inside of the cradle. Blow it out with a torch.

The nut didn't come from the factory welded it is captured in a cage.
Please stop disinformation.
