Todd confused you, didn't he? I was there when, with a puzzled look on your face, you looked at the switch and asked Todd .."did you buy another Marauder?"

It might have a TC switch in the glovebox. I understand that's where they put some of them.
I agree, forget the Nitrous, call Trilogy.

Older CVs and GMs might have a TC switch in the glovebox, but no Marauder that I know of does, at least from the factory.

Mine's a 300A...built on 6/02/02...but I have a "Traction Control" switch...hmmm, I wonder what that could be used for?

The switch in your car activates the remote receiver in marty's car, and allows you to talk to/taunt him, even though you are in other States. Drives marty nuts when he suddenly hears your voice.

Don't you have to get out and turn the center hubs left or right for traction?

why not got a supercharger huh. well i have a nitrous kit ready to go it it. unless somone will give me 6 grand. lol

but anywho. give me a break about the tranction control. i drove it about 10 miles and there are buttons everywhere.

i dont think im get this car cause of its already had head replaced and front end work.

Thanks brian for helping me avoiding this lemon. i will message you if i find another im interested in.

Thanks

That sucks. I hope you can find another MM, without the front end work.
 
ok how about this

has anyone done any buying cars across. state lines? how does that work

The reason i ask is i could see my stang cause i have a few ppl that want it since i put a reasonable price on it.

ive done a search and found some left over 03s in other states.

But that brings me to a important qeustion. What do you think is a preasonable price for a left over MM

Thanks

In rising sun md at ramsey there are 2 dtr 1 with a price of 26k , the other no price on it and 1 silver that says 31k .iam sure those prices will go lower as they been here a while..
oh neither have sunroofs.
 
Just a thought on the replaced head.

Maybe it has the upgraded head with the improved water passages. Could be a plus not a minus.

no the head was replaced on driver side due to a couple of bent valve guides.

Thats not good

trick25 - welcome to the site - lots and lots of good info and people here - as far as the NOS, 100hp or less should not hurt the engine as long as it's a proper kit with fuel enrichment. I would keep looking for a MM - if you look here you may find one or look at the dealerships, you may find what you want - with the discounts from Ford and the dealers you may find buying a new one a better deal since you can get lower financing rates from a bank on a new car. Do your homework and find which option is best for you, and buy one - I've had 28 cars from a lowly 240D Mercedes with a 4-speed manual and 270,000 miles to a 2001 Audi S4 Avant 6-speed to a 97 C5 Corvette with about 425 rwhp, and by far the Marauder is my favorite car I've ever owned.

They weren't bent. They were worn to a point that oil was leaking into the combustion chambers. Replacing the valve guide seals didn't help, either.

Just my .02 and then some.
 
more qeustions

is the block aliumium or iron?

is the engine more akin to a mach engine or the 01 cobra engine?

Reason i ask is machs dont like nitrous at all.

How common is the paint issue. is there a recall on it?

Finally how had is the tranny. how much power and torque is usally lost from fly to wheels on stock mm

Aliumium?...is that anything like unobtainium? or collapsed neutronium?

:lol:

Just funnin' with you, trick...

The block and heads are aluminum...it IS a Mach 1 motor, with cams from a 5.4 truck motor (IIRC) and a different intake...
 
hey i cant spell i admit. it thank goodness i have other good qualites. lol
