i sent him a email asking him about marauders and he wrote:


BRETT,

THE '04 HAS THE SIX DISC AUDIOPHILE RADIO, MORE COLORS, RECALIBRATED PCM FOR MORE HP AND BETTER LOW SPEED SHIFTING, AND A 4R75W TRANS. THE '03 HAS A ONE DISC RADIO, BLACK ONLY COLOR, AND THE 4R70W TRANS. THE 70 AND 75 NUMBER IN THE TRANS REPRESENTS 700FTQ AND 750FTQ CAPACITY. THE TICK IN THE 32V ENGINES BUILT BEFORE NOV. '02 IS FROM A POOR DESIGN IN THE HEAD, WHICH CAUSES THE HEAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY TO OVERHEAT AND WARP THE VALVE SEAT. FORD CLAIMED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE HEAD FOR FREE IN ENGINES BUILT IN '02, IF THE TICK WAS NOTICABLE. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT EARLY '03 COBRAS AND MARAUDERS WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. TO FIND THE DATE ON THE ENGINE, LOOK ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE VALVE COVER. THERE IS ONE PROBLEM WITH THE MARAUDER, INNER TIRE WEAR IS NOTICED VERY EARLY ON THE FRONT. THE FACTORY SPECS FOR ALIGNMENT ARE WAY OFF BASE FOR TOE IN AND CASTER. I HAVE NEW SPECS FOR GREAT TIRE WEAR TO GIVE YOU IF YOU BUY THE BEAST. TELL DAD I SAID HELLO, AND I LOVE HIS TASTE IN CARS,


LATER COUSIN, CHUCK

yep just hope to learn alot before i buy:banana:but my cuz has not moved in this grx thing for a while plus i have not herd from him so who knows:(

[offroadkarter]

Why does this sound fimalar?

I do think i remember this, they had a picture of the trilogy kit as there "roots' setup.

no trilogy that i remember i think i asked him that and he said no way:burnout:

[GODFATHER]

i did find this in part of a letter he wrote:
i belive he will be installing kenny bell tho
but trilogy is what he has i belive..we dont talk that much:alone:


THE WHEELS WILL BE DEEP DISH LIKE CHICAGO PIZZA. MY 480HP SUPERCHARGED MARAUDER DID 0 TO 60 IN 4.54 SECONDS WITH STOCK WHEELS AND 10 POUNDS OF BOOST. THE HEMI CHARGERS ARE NOT EVEN A CHALLENGE. EVEN THE 425 SRT-8 CHARGER CAN ONLY RUN A 13.5, AND I CAN RUN UNDER 13.00 AS ADVERTISED BY TRILOGY SUPERCHARGERS.

[Aren Jay]

Technically the 03 300A did only come in black, didn't it?

No I'm not Chuck.

[GODFATHER]

i can only go by what chuck told me:(

Because it was a similar, if not same site. Not sure who made it. I believe the only difference was it was labeled as a 2005 Mercury Marauder, and yes, it did have a Trilogy on it.

Are you on SVTP? I sware I've seen that avatar picture before, and your car list sounds familiar.

Yep thats me ..i joined there about 3-4 years ago when i had my 03 cobra

[Raudermaster]

Why did you sell your Cobra? If I found the right one, I think I'd put a For Sale on the MM.

too much bad luck with it ..rearend,heads,driveshaft, you name it it happend..the caddy is its replacement and is just as fast

[GODFATHER]

dont get me wrong i loved that car but the caddy fits me better @ 47 y/o
and i think i would take a mm over a cobra but thats just me plus the sho's are fun too

[DOOM]

looks badass.

[GODFATHER]

looks badass.
thanks doc.:beer:

are you a member there if so what name do you use my name is the same

[Raudermaster]

I miss my SHO, but it was like your Cobra, I'd drive it everyday, something new would happen to it, not to mention parts blow to find.

[Raudermaster]

Well, when I joined I had my Vic, so it's vicmaster. I dont go on much, I go and learn a bit on the Cobras/L since my buddy asks me question and hates going on the computer for his L.

[dpotter]

It's interesting how much similar information can be found between SVTP and here.
