Shook my fist at this ***** for leaking fuel again. :mad2:



Dropped it off last night to get fuel leak fixed again and to commence phase II of removal of poorly installed aftermarket electrical crap.

Took the 03 to the dealership the other day to have the LCM replaced then they called and mentioned something about the relays so it would take an extra day. Get a call from them the next day saying it would go in gear....I knew they'd find a way to get money out of me lolololololo just for a diagnosis Hundred something odd dollars. Oh well the life of a Marauder owner.

I close on my new house in 2 weeks. Can't wait to be able to wax my car in my new 3 car garage out of the sun. Plus I have a **** load of new parts ready to install. I haven't driven the thing or even seen it in nearly 6 months. :(
Now I will get to see it everyday for the rest of my life nestled in parking space number 2.

WIN!

I feel a long overdue Chicago Meet coming on......

Had to remove the right side cam cover to access the BCM because I have an original DR rear cooling mod installed. Of course the hoses are in front of the BCM.

I figured I'd change the upstream O2 sensors. The swaps when OK. While under the MM I noticed that both upper control arm ball joint boots are torn. Also noticed that the right side motor mount was missing the nut. Waiting for Rock Auto to deliver the cam cover gaskets, new plugs (Autolite XP-103) and motor mount.

Will be ordering both upper and lower control arms, front shocks & misc. parts. Already have new camber bolts and sway bar end links and sway bar collars.

OEM are asymmetrical (not directional, unidirectional are a different animal) which can not be safely moved side to side unless dismounted & flipped. They will lose wet traction as the water will fail to be channeled out causing hydroplaning very easy = ooops, you are screwed...

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "Dorman fix?" :confused:

[Mr. Man]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "Dorman fix?" :confused:It came up in one of the LCM recall threads that Ford was using some sort of shortcut fix that was supplied by Dorman rather than just fixing the problem with better parts. Perhaps FBM can explain the technical better if he saw the same thread.

Hmmm... interesting Mr. Man. When I had my LCM replaced last year under the recall, I do know that a new LCM was installed, but I'm guessing that it was just a new OEM unit, not some type of "better part." I wonder if one can tell from the marking on the housing? :confused:

I actually knew that but I have to say after all these years, that model is still one awesome piece of machinery! :bows:

The work was done at my local Ford Dealer. They have been servicing my MM since 2003. When I asked whether the LCM had been upgraded, I was told yes it was. However, they may have just given me the answer that I wanted to hear. I asked them for the old part; but they said that it had to be returned since it was done under a recall warranty. The LCM had been checked out more than a year ago under the initial extended warranty and it qualified for replacement at that time .... But the parts were back ordered with a long wait. The extended warranty was changed to a safety recall at some point. This time, the part was available. As a safety fix I can't imagine that they would be allowed to put the same defective part in as a fix. Maybe 03mmmonroe can shed some light on this since he is a Ford Warranty rep. :dunno:

That's the Dorman fix. Not hard wired, just an interface between the LCM and harness.

Good luck with it. They have been know to fail, sometimes resulting in a thermal event.

No, it's not the doorman fix. This was a separate unit with one relay and transistor that had to be hardwires in. I looked ar it before thay put it in. No plugs what so ever. I've seen the Doorman product. This one looks like it bypasses that one LCM relay just for the headlights. Time will tell how it works out.

It's simple, really. I have 2 children aged 4 and 2. Both are in front facing car seats. I realized that the way the seats are latched into the car they will ruin/damage the leather and deform the foam over time. So I went to the wrecker's yesterday and found a set of poverty seats that weren't trashed and put them in. This way once the kids are old enough not to need the seats, I'll put the original ones back. For now they will be stored away.

It's funny the vinyl is close enough of a match that most people wouldn't notice anyways.

They were custom made back in 2007 I think. Discontinued now.

Sounding like a lot of chap-stick or a lot of $$$$ will be needed for it. And Jerry doesn't need the $$$$. :eek:

I used thick car seat pads when mine were little. Worked like a charm and made to protect the leather.

The driver front air bag for a motorhome. They show you deflating it and sliding it between the spring or stuff up the center hole thru the bottom. I tried thru the spring then the hole, I got it in there but now I have to get straight. Before I got them I had the shock off and then ball joint pin and nut off I just hadn't separated it. Then I read the instructions and got my butt kicked.
