Sticky: Difference between a 2003 300A and a 300B

[RF Overlord]

maybe someone brought the premium stuff and put it in despite the fact that it does more harm than good.

Why do you say that?

Why do you say that?

While I'm not sure of the specifics, switching the fluids without a complete flush to remove all the old fluid causes corrosion due to the different alkalies in both.

WOW, awesome thread for someone new like me and especially new and still looking to purchase. Thanks to everyone (even the whiners) for putting all this information together.

Quick question, does the 300A have the wiring to put the heated seats in or would that have to be a totally "custom" addition?

Thanks

If I recall correctly, the heated seats require a different wiring harness.

This thread has given me some "blurred vision". I have build #5736 and I'm told it's a 300B since it has traction control. Perhaps because this car shipped within Canada it has map pockets, adjustable pedals, heated mirrors, black valve covers with the drivers side saying Intech32V BUT no heated seats (where I really could use them of course!).

My questions are:

Is there any ENGINE PERFORMANCE difference?

Really dumb question: was there not any MM's built with 3 Valves per cylinder?

Sorry, I'm just learning...ROOKIE

Same engine performance, 32V DOHC was the only engine available in the Marauder for 03-04.

The only way to learn is to ask questions, Welcome to the site.

No real engine performance diff's between '03 & '04, and all were 4 valves/chamber (DOHC 4V).

my 300a was built on july 15 2002 the first day back from summer break, and the first day of gold coolant., yes it has all typical 300a options, I recently added trunk organizer on my own, debating the spoiler.
RDS does work on mine, but few local stations broadcast anything useful or interesting.

Right on. Appreciate the welcome and the info.

Excellent choice of tunes! My MM's theme song is JP's VICTOM OF CHANGES!

Very interesting, as my #602213 was built 4-9-2002, and is the only Marauder built in April (about the 51st, or so?).

[whd507]

having such an early build, and a unique build date (month) must be sweet.

It is an enigma wrapped in a mystery...

does it have confusion sauce in it?

Oh, yes...Confusion will be my epitaph... ... ...
