alright guys, it is now time for me to take my car into the dealership. i have a stumble/shudder/whatever you want to call it at 40mph under light throttle. with 97500 miles, i have:

cleaned tranny fluid pan, replaced filter and put about 15 quarts of mercon v through my tranny, drain & fill, drain & fill, etc.

replaced my fuel filter

replaced my spark plugs with autolite AP-104, made sure they were gapped properly according to the marauder manual.

just put brand new boots and wires on the spark plugs/ignition system.


---have you ever put forth so much effort to fix something and everytime it doesn't work?--- stick a fork in me, im done. wish me luck as i take a cruise down Dealership Drive.--whitey:alone::confused::shake: :depress:

Not necessarily, they didn't fix mine. Replacing three COPS (actually after finding three bad ones, I replaced them all) fixed it at a general auto repair shop in town.

Dealer told me I had bad CATS and a bad fuel pump none of which fixed the car.
Mucho dinero. about the same mileage too. I told them to get working test equipment and a better trained tech. In one ear and out the other.

Just curious .... but what size tires are you running front and rear? Turn off the T/C and see if the stumble goes away.
