Looks like the one I did when I failed to run the tap in far enough.

Short Block is shown on pages 18/19. Note the part number!

I just put one on my 2012. Everything fits fine. I found that half the drilled holes come untapped. Apparently this is normal. Your old screws should be self tapping. If you haven't bought it yet be careful, some are selling the old short blocks. Part #580 66 37-12 is the one. I asked Spike60...

I'll second this!

You got it for the win! :campeon:
