New in town!

[memphomaniac]

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum but excited to see that it exists! I just purchased a Black 03 MMarauder from one of my best friends. He was the original owner, and the car was a daily driver for him up until 2 years ago when he parked it in the garage. It's been sitting there since, hasn't been cranked up the entire time. I'm getting it shipped here at the end of the week to see how big of a project it is to get it back on the road. Wish me luck!

Welcome! You'll find a wealth of info here to get her back on the road. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Congrats and Welcome aboard.

Congrats. I'd start with new fluids. Check that none of the calipers are frozen. And maybe new spark plugs. Make sure you change the plugs with a cold engine. Very important, torque the plugs to spec. 03's only have 3 threads of engagement on plugs and could spit out if not properly torqued.

Don't be surprised if you have a fuel pump failure since it's been sitting for 2 years...and welcome aboard!:up:

Welcome aboard and Congrats!!


If so, try banging on the fuel tank with a rubber mallet while someone cranks over the engine.

Ask me how I know....:D
