    In search of my old car

    You'd need access to DMV records which isn't something you'll find on google. Carfax will get you as far as a town/state its registered to.

    Stiff steering

    It isn't just from sitting, Ford issued a recall on these for 2005 + panthers a while back (03/04 uses the same part but due to some technicality they did not get recalled) for the lower steering shaft u joints seizing up from rust/corrosion. I ended up doing the lower steering shaft in my 03...

    Big Brake Kits

    They (and Wilwood) make kits that fit the 03+ panther front suspension for people who are doing crown vic subframe swaps under F100s. Nobody has tried it on a Marauder yet. Wish they sold a rear setup https://baer.com/14-Front-Pro-Brake-System-4261422.html...

    Big Brake Kits

    The original Baer BBK that came out back when these cars were new (the kit they sell now is totally different/better) and the "DIY" BBK setup using C5 calipers both use the same style PBR twin piston caliper. SN95 cobras used this same caliper as well (albeit with different mounts). The PBR...

    Better Headlights

    you could DIY this if you wanted, it isn't that difficult to do on these cars. The last set I did for my 03 Marauder I went from opening the headlights to aiming them in the car in just a few hours. https://www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3?quantity=1 this would be...

    Air Suspension

    100% this. All of the aftermarket shock replacements are bottom barrel cheap crap. Bilstein was never interested in offering a 03+ panther shock but they make an offering for the -02 cars, simply because it cross references with a ton of various Fords going back to the 50's. I'd be a bit iffy...

    Carlisle Ford Nationals can feature the Mercury Marauder in 2024!

    A few of us tried to get Carlisle to do a feature a few years back, at the time they wanted a past or present Ford employee to come out for the feature. We tried to get Steve Babcock to come but it wasn't in the cards so to speak. I don't know what the requirements are currently, but I wager it...

    Better Headlights

    If you want to do it right, have a projector retrofit done. no other option is a good one. I think that "Panther Lights" guy is still doing retrofits, reach out to him. https://pantherlights.com/collections/custom-headlights

    Air Suspension

    Check the ride height sensor on the watts link. As they age and corrode, they get stiff which can lead to the linkage from the watts link to the sensor popping off. If this happens, your system will not pump up. Don't ride around on the bump stops, you'll end up damaging the shocks and possibly...

    Time to replace AIR FLOW METER. Should I increase capacity (flow)??

    Yeah, this, my black Marauder had the original MAF still working fine when I sold it with over 180k miles on the odo. Unless the unit is actually defective, you have no reason to replace it. It's not like an O2 sensor which gets lazy over time. You also can't upsize the MAF housing without a...

    8.8 Mini Spool

    A mini spool will lock the axles 100% of the time, so unless you're looking to build a drift car or a drag car, this won't do any good for you especially if you still want to drive on the street. Either go with the ford carbon clutch pack or step up to a torsen t2r

    Yes, which youtube video did you pull that clip from? Also, why did you get listed on "stop forum spam" https://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/191.96.227.67 You seemed to join a LOT of forums at the end of august / early September of this year, anything from bigjimny.com, huskytalk.com, I...

    Marauder Tires

    Fuzion tires are pretty cheap. Not something I'd ever remotely consider running. Are you still running stock size tires? I know Continental has DWS 06's in factory sizes.

    Headlights out! Help

    ^this, and curious, does your flash to pass still work? If so, that does indeed sound like a LCM issue and normally you can give it a smack like justbob said to get it to come to life again. Many things on panthers can be "fixed" simply by hitting them. Since you state your LCM was modified...

    Ridetech Front Coil Over

    lowering the rear lowers the spring rate since you're letting air out of the bags to maintain a set ride height. I put adjustable ridetech/fox shocks in the rear to help dial in rebound. You don't have to lower it to the point it sits even (these cars come with a factory rake). If you convert to...
