Okay, so I've done some more digging with my Ford parts guy, and will break down what I learned from him in relation to the various part numbers I've found online. 3W33 28195 AB - this is the # on the booster on my '04 MM. He was unable to find this # anywhere in the Ford system...I just...

Oh, that's one of the 4 other part #s I mentioned that I was gonna verify with my Ford parts guy. Great - thanks. One less number to check. That adds some weight to the OP's statement from 2019 about upgraded boosters in '03.

So, I feel like I'm going down the rabbit hole a bit here, as far as part #s I've found so far. The # on my '04 MM booster is 3W33-28195-AB. A Google search on that # turns up almost nothing. I mostly get no results. So I'm not sure I can verify that this is the same as an '01-'02 CV booster, as...

The installer went into some detail about swapping the boosters on his 2 MMs (an '03 and an '04) and that they had both benefitted from the swap, as far as pedal feel. He did perform a big brake upgrade around the same time on at least one of his MMs, but clearly stated that the booster swaps...

From the threads I've read, the booster was upgraded in '03, so any year including and after that. What I've read says that Marauders got the '01-'02 booster, which is described as the reason for many MMs having a less than optimum pedal. The main thread I found was from 05/19, entitled "Spongy...

Greetings, folks! I've been messing around with the well-known spongy brake pedal on my '04 MM for quite a while now. I've got SS brake lines, Russell Speed bleeders, bled all corners in every way possible several times, vacuum pump bled, etc., etc. I also brought it into the dealership to bleed...

So, here's an update for those who are interested. It turned out that the 3/8-16 coarse was correct after all. An M10 was too big. I had been threading the bolts in by hand (duh) and could only get them in so far, even though they seemed kinda loose when you wiggled them around. After putting a...

Thanks for the input, guys. I'll definitely try that larger Metric size. I just need to find the right size bolts and the puller should work fine. Just curious if anyone has used one of those pullers that doesn't use bolts, but instead has 3 thick metal jaws with cut-outs that fit over the...

Greetings folks. I'm sure this has been discussed, but I did a search and couldn't find the answer. I'm installing Steeda u/ds on my '04 MM, and none of the 4 different bolt sizes in my puller kit fit the 3 holes in the stock balancer. The kit came with 3/8-24, 3/8-16, 5/16-18 and M8-1.25...

Black '04 - Ottawa, Ontario

I did not know that - I assumed this was just a problem on my car. Good information to know, and thanks for the input. I'll keep trying to find the problem (if it can be found), but with the knowledge that it might just be the way it is.

Okay, so the Ridetechs are installed, and I'm sorting out the settings and ride height adjustments. Unfortunately, the car still sits unevenly, mostly in the back. If anyone has ideas for what might be causing this, I'd appreciate your input. The bags don't leak, the compressor cycles exactly as...

Thanks everyone for all the info - that gives me a reference to work from. And thanks, RubberCtyRauder - yup, I've got the SPC parts ready to go as well (the updated ones that won't move). Looking forward to fixing the car's altitude problem...

Greetings, folks! I am preparing to install a RideTech coilover setup on my '04 in the next few weeks and was wondering if anyone might happen to know the stock front and rear fender lip heights? I can't use my vehicle as a reference because it doesn't sit properly from side to side. I'm told...

Well thankfully, the coat hanger-derived rods worked fine - the unit came out in 30 seconds. But now I see that the salvage yard unit I picked up (6L8T-18C815-DD, instead of FD) is not going to work. It only has 2 plugs, as opposed to 3, and they aren't the same shape or pin count. I've checked...

Awesome - thanks very much for the replies. Now just to fashion 4 identical "rods"...

Okay, so I picked up the Audiophile unit and I've been researching how to install it. Is that all there is to removing the original unit...inserting a rod (or nails, or coat hanger, etc.) of some sort into each of the 4 holes on the face?? I assume this releases the metal tabs on the side and...

Thanks for the input, guys. I agree on the upgrade idea, but I've got a bunch of things on the go right now - both automotive and non-automotive. For $75 I will at least have a working radio again, plus from what I've read it's a bit of an upgrade, sound-wise. An aftermarket upgrade is...

Greetings, folks. The radio in my '04 went out last year, like everybody else's. So, I've been able to locate what I THINK may be a usable Audiophile system from an '05-'07 Escape in my local salvage yard. I used the part # I found here on the site - 6L8T-18C815-FD. The problem is that the...

Thanks for the input, guys. Come to think of it, I believe my garage floor IS uneven. Now that's embarrassing - should have been obvious. I'll measure the ride height in the garage at work to get a real measurement. Either way, I still have one leaky rear shock, so replacements are on the way...
