Like the title says, the bolts on the skid plate for my trans pan wont stay in. The two smaller ones that attach to the transfer case skid stay in but the larger bolts that go into the frame will not. With the drivers side bolt I can screw it in all the up until the last 1/8th inch or so of the bolt. Once I get to that point it just drops back down. Over time the bolt falls out and loosens the passenger side frame bolt.
My first thought was that the nut's threads were rusted away but I don't see how that could be if it screws in and holds for the first 90% of the bolt. Everything goes in like normal until the last 1/8th then I can freely push the bolt up and let it fall back down. Any ideas?
