    Best Gear shift knob

    I just installed an "8 Ball" shift knob and I believe I drilled and tapped for 5/16-18. Remove the knob and throw that size nut on there, just to be sure.

    No answers

    I agree searching can get old after awhile, and a lot of "Veterans" will post a link to try and help. Everyone that owns a MV however, should have all the manuals for it downloaded. A great percentage of questions can be answered by becoming familiar with the Technical Manuals. I print the pages...

    new shocks

    Shocks are usually considered chassis items where I come from. Engine, clutch, transmission, transfer case, drive shaft, and axles would be "drive train".

    Oil pan pad heater Verses block coolant heater.

    My preference is a Block Heater, and not the Freeze Plug type either...why invite another possible leak? Dipstick Heaters have never impressed me either and I have read too many horror stories about Magnetic Pan Heaters. For me, a Kat's 11619, 600 Watt, 3/4" NPT., works extremely well.

    M35a3 Soft top dye/paint?

    Vinyl I'd say just paint with a rattle can. Canvas? Hmmmmm, I guess dying is the only option.

    Whats your thoughts on spin on primary and secondary fuel filters?

    As said previously, the instant oil pressure is a good reason to purchase the after market spin-on filters. That fact alone was a major deal maker for me. Convenience was the next plus. I have not as of yet, replaced the primary or secondary fuel filters with the spin-ons. The primary seems to...

    Huh?? You want resistance, that is what makes the red glow. No resistance, no glow.

    Wndshield Washer Performance?

    Just a though: You may try soaking the nozzles in C.L.R. or something equivalent, that should loosen up any corrosion or deposits.

    Oil all over motor, where should I start looking?

    Your "Buddy" probably should not have pressured washed the fabric heater air ducts, they can't handle that type of water force. You said you found a coolant leak, where did the coat of oil come from?
