8.25 ring gear bolts?

What size/pitch are the ring gear bolts in a 29 spline 8.25? I just swapped one in place of my turdy 5 and its missing a ring gear bolt for some odd reason...I was gonna try taking one out but those mothers are tight and the last thing i need is to shear one off.
 
probably a dealer only item---they are left hand thread bolts.
Or try Randy,s R&P
 
They should be 3/8 x 24 LEFT HAND, and they are NOT the same as ANY dana axle.

Not to mention they have a shoulder on them that are made to center the ring gear on the carrier.

Dealer, or even used if you must.
 
Yeah, I figured I should stop trying to take them out before I got more information. I thought the local Fastenal would have one, but no luck. Would it be ok to run it like that for a week or so til I get to a u pull it or dealer? I assume it was run like this for a bit, axle only has 97k on it.

Thanks for all the help so far!
