After moving my truck up the dirt driveway my roommate found this interesting bolt left in my path

Man I know that bolt. It’s a very specific use, maybe tc shift linkage bracket? I’ll think of it in a bit I’m sure

I think shift linkage has a bigger hex, plus has a torx in the middle.
I would look at the crank pulley.

Looks like a Toyota crank pulley bolt.

that is a harmonic balancer pulley bolt for a japanese built motor.
Wow you guys are good
Just ran out and sure enough the Toyota is missing the harmonic balancer bolt but seems to be on tight!
Glad I asked, hate for that to fall off
At highway speed, no telling the damage that could do

Best regards,

It's amazinghow lucky things don't fall off. I went to do an oil change on my mom's car once, a 2003 Taurus, where the oil filter is up near the radiator. I reached down and bumped it with my oily thumb (from doing the drain) and the filter turned!! It wasn't tight in the least!! I guess the oil pump pressure kept it on? Or just pure luck. She had it done at a midas that last time.
