    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Red paint on front of engine.

    Ive seen that, too. I also wondered what it was about and it seemed to be mostly on serpentine belted engines missing the belt. My guess is it was done to warn that the belt was missing, or to not start the engine or something like that???

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    They had minimal movement. They weren't touching, but real close. I swapped out the new short for the original long stud isolators. I installed the old washers behind the isolators to give them a smidge more clearance Way better thread engagement and housing clearance now. Thanks for the...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Reading this made me revisit my Short stud issue with my Trucklite LEDs. I dug out my old headlight buckets and harvested the isolators. I will move the beast outside in the morning to see if I can effect an isolator transplant.
