    After looking at it sit on a shelf for 2 years I finally replaced the ABS module - it works great, heck even tried out the ABS, kind of like it. That along with larger brakes really help.

    I did some work to go ZFG trilogy the last couple weeks: rebuilt the rear axle assembly, replaced the CHE control arm and watts link bushings, replaced the rear KYB garbage shocks with Monroe severe service rear shocks, replaced the rear sway bar bushings, replaced the rear Nitto Motivos, replaced rear rotors and pads, replaced the front pads, and added set of resonators after the mufflers to kill the drone and quite the car down a little bit.

    It's due for inspection this week, only 22,000 miles since last October.

    Put the stock tune back in the SB to prepare for state inspection. Took it for a quick jaunt. I'm still amazed in the difference between it and the Mo's tune, night and day! Cleaned the glass and aired up the tires in both cars to 35lbs. Need to do the spares tomorrow as I forgot about them.

    Noted the volts gauge on SB is reading about 13.6-7 or so at idle and about 13.9 under load, no appliances on. Installed a new alternator in the Spring and noted the numbers there as well. Seems to me the old numbers read around 14.2-3 all the time unless the A/C compressor came on then it would budge. I believe I got the correct alternator w/ 4G regulator(white plug on the regulator, if memory serves) and the connections seem clean. Will a GM alternator w/ a GM regulator work on a Marauder? Wouldn't put it past Ford to try and supersede parts. Just wondering if the part is wrong would that give the lower numbers or is a GM alternator a completely different animal?
