Maybe this is what you are looking for. 2003 MM had two variants. Early models were known as 300A. A mid year change led to the 2003 300B MM with changes shown below. All 2004 MM's have the 300B features even though it is known as a 300A (only one 2004 variant made). Check here >>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=432644



This topic has been asked a million times, Since nobody likes using the search button I shall break this down and hopefully this will be the "go to" thread on this question that arises every month.

300A's were the first issue of Marauders they were all black and had the following equipment

Auto release fuel door
In-dash Clock
Map pockets in the front seats
Full size spare
Auto Release Parking brake
Windshield tint
Hood light
4R70W Transmission
Single engine knock sensor
Black Valve covers
2400 Stall convertor


Only options for the early 300A's were a trunk organizer and a 6 Disc CD changer.

300B's came out mid year and were offered in Black, Silver and Blue. They had less features then the 300A so they are considered "Decontented"
Differences on the 300B are...

Heated seats
Traction control
Manual fuel door
Mini Spare
Dot Matrix on upper portion of windshield
Aluminum Valve covers
No map pockets
Clock in radio
No Hood Light
Dual Engine Knock Sensors
2700 Stall convertor

Options were 6 Disc CD changer, Rear Spoiler, Sunroof, and Trunk organizer.

Some mid production year Marauders have been found to have a little bit of the 300A and 300B features combined.

2004 Marauders were offered in Black, Silver, DTR which replaced Blue and the addition of the 4R75W transmission

I may have forgotten something so feel free to chime in.
Maybe we can save useless threads about questions we answered a million times over.

Weren't all 300b's this way??

[Raudermaster]

300B's still had black valve covers, '04's had the silver. I don't know as for the knock sensor. There shouldn't be an underhood light. Do you have a donut spare and a locking fuel door?

[OneBADLsE]

That was the longest run on sentence i've seen on here.

[Advancedautosec]

i got the 300c with heated cup holders...

[MENINBLK]

2003 has Painted Black Valve Covers.
2004 has UN-Painted Valve Covers.

[RocsMerc]

I have one of those mixed 300a's 300b's. Is it true that the 300b had the 2700 stall converter and if so, how can I tell what I have other than taking it apart?

Hmmmm. I have a 03 300b: No bun warmer. I Do have a hood light.

[Badger]

Don't forget the 04 variants that used steel vs aluminum alloy upper control arms.

[cyclopsram]

Folks forget that the Traction Control was added to 300Bs and the full size spare deleted to compensate for cost... All the other decontenting was Pantherwide and had nothing to do with A vs B in 2003 except that it happened around the same time as the switchover to Job 2 aka 300B
