So I was driving on the highway in Miami and I heard my tire go flat. I pulled over and saw a nice hole in my tire. When I took the jeep to Goodyear to get fix they found a metal object inside. I'm trying to figure out what is it. View attachment 144711View attachment 144712
That's a caliper slide pin. Exact same as the one off my front Dana 60. It came off a 90's Ford F-350.

Can't find a pic of mine, but in the lower left of this pic, you can see the v notch that it slides into. There are two little bumps on each end of it that are supposed to hold it in. I carry spares but have never had a problem. I just don't like the design.
You beat me to it.
That sucks, where they able to fix the tire? It looks like a big hole. That is a mid 80's to mid 90's Ford Truck caliper slide pin. I saw a lot of them come in to the shop missing. View attachment 144719
