I'm a new member as of yesterday and want to say I'm glad to be here. I just purchased my 2003 Marauder yesterday and I'm already in love. She only has 30,300 miles on her to date. I really dont know where to start or what to do as of now. I want to install some 3.73's and maybe a cold air kit. Was thinking of lowering it a bit, but they may be out of the question.

Hope to get to know you all soon. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard!

Come to Marauderville VIII.

Forget the 3.73's and go to 4.10's.

Get the JLT CAI.

Get a tune from either Lidio or DR.

I really dont know where to start .....

Its always best to start at the beginning. Just follow the Yellow Brick Road. ;)

Congrats on your MM and welcome :welcome1: to Oz .... I mean MM.Net.

Many folks here by-passed the 3.73s and went with the 4.10s. The 3.73s only buy you +5% over the stock 3.55s. Barely enough to notice. The 4.10s get +15%. This makes a big difference in getting a 4,200 pound beast moving.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site and your new ride.

[rayjay]

Welcome aboard. Nice find with that low mileage. I saw in another thread you want to lower the car already. Is this for looks or handling? As stated above, 4.10s, CAI and a tune will make a huge difference in your new toy.

[SpartaPerformance]

Welcome to the site!! I agree ditch the 3.73's and go 4.10's

[CWright]

Welcom aboard! I'm over in Rome. I get together with other Marauder guys from around Atlanta the 3rd Saturday each month. Not this Sat but the next we are on if you want to come and join us. We meet up on the North end of Atl at Delk Road at 8 am. Just North of 285. If you would like to go shoot me a pm and we'll work out a time to meet up. There's a few big events coming up the next few months. Marauderville 8 in N.C is Sept 8-12 and the SSHS10 will be in Novemeber over in Atlanta. This year will be my first to both. Anyway welcome again. :beer:

PS. My mods are in the signature. I actually just started with a tune and then as you can see the MOD BUG bit me hard! LOL:lol:

Hi :wave:

I agree 4.10's, JLT cold air intake and ASAP get a tune Lidio or DR. If you love the car now do all three and she will feel like a monster

[PonyUP]

+1, I got 4.10's, headers, CAI, and a tune and love the beast. welcome to the site, and you should definitely come to the breakfast next Sat in Atlanta. I havn't been to a breakfast yet, as I just moved here, but the first Sunday of every month there is a car show in Marietta, the caffeine and octane cruise in and thats pretty cool.

welcome aboard

Yeaaaaah!! A new owner and new member. Yippie!! Welcome!!

[Mr. Man]

Welcome to MM.net you have been assimilated.

[JBeezy]

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I've always loved the Marauder's since I heard of them coming out before production. Never did get one. I later owned a '96 Impala SS for about 5 years. Then bought a Mustang LX 5.0 and went all out with it. Supercharger and all. It was a mid 11 sec street car with A/C and full interior.

My plan is to get this thing lowered just for looks. I love a lowered car with the tires about tucked. Get some gears to make it quicker and feel lighter, plus the tune you guys speak of. I bought this car out of Atlanta. It was originally purchased in Vegas by a Police Officer if I'm not mistaken. It has a Mercury Marauder.net sticker on the back window so I'm guessing the guy was a member here.

The car has the J-Mod done and a sticker under the hood where the dealer flashed the computer as well.

I'm going to try and make the breakfast and ride in next week. Hopefully I'll have it lowered by then at the very least.

Is it a Silver Birch MM?

[JBeezy]

I wanted silver, but couldnt find the right one. I'm happy with Black. I thought most of these came with Charcoal Grey interiour? Mine is light grey.

Site's completely full, go home! J/k, I'll be in HuntsVegas in a few weeks. I'll cruise on down, and we can go to the breffest in Marietta in a few weeks after that. I hit Steele once or twice when I'm there.

[GAMike]

Welcome J:banana2: Ya got some good advice from Fast, Blue and the gang. Hope to see you next week. meet up with that ole man cwright for the ride, and check out that setup. I am sure you will be droolin:beer:

Welcome again

[J-MAN]

Welcome!!

Get Lidio's tune first, CAI and save for a Trilogy, you won't need the 4:10's.

Black with Light Flint is a rare combination. Only 271 made in both years ('03MM - 115 and '04MM - 156). The other 8000+ Black MMs had the Dark Charcoal interior.

That would be great. Just let me know. I'll be on the forum everyday unless something comes up.


Its great to know I have a rare Marauder. I cant wait to get her lowered and aligned. Hopefully I'm doing this Sunday and get an alignment Monday.

Search for carfixers alignment specs. Your tires will love you for it.

+1, a must unless you want to be replacing front tires constantly.

That's what he said, lol!

[LIGHTNIN1]

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your Marauder as much as I have enjoyed mine.I am an Alabamian myself from the Tuscaloosa area. I know your area well as my brother lived at Huntsville till not long ago. I come through about every year or two to visit friends and relatives.Last year just had purchased the Marauder and drove it down. I installed a JAI cold air intake and a D. Reinhart tune when I got mine and it runs extremely well.

[JBeezy]

I think were lowering mine tomorrow, I'm here researching the alignment specs now. Hopefully drop it off Monday and get it aligned. I want to take the cruise over to Marietta next Sunday
