    Silly Trailblazer SS

    From what I understand, it likely would not have fit without some modifications to the hood. Luckily, you guys do have Trilogy to help make up for this shortfall. I'm also not sure if you guys would have been able to even get any traction with the Lightning motor. Of course, I remember that one...

    Silly Trailblazer SS

    The RWD are a tad bit faster than the AWD units, but they are both impressive for a 5000lb SUV that also has a torque challenged motor when completely stock. Just like torque challenged vehicles like the Marauder, it too responds VERY well to mods like a high stall torque converter. GM tuned...

    Chirp in Air compresser

    I had the exact same problem you did, and it was solved by the dealership taking the shim out, cleaning it, and reshimming the a/c clutch.

    Hillary in 2008?

    While I didn't go blind, the image of a mostly nude dancing Hillary was very disturbing :) :eek:

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    Jack, the Marauders come from the factory filled with synthetic gear lube if i'm correct, which is as good enough of a reason as I need to stay with a synthetic gear lube. If it's good enough for factory fill, then it's definately good enough for me. Besides, a high quality synthetic will reduce...

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    Well, I had the differential gear lube changed Saturday at the SVT dealership to fully synthetic motorcraft fluid along with Ford's friction modifier additive. It took a day, but the rear end is now smooth as butter once again. I know that there are a couple people running Amsoil gear lube in...

    New parking spot

    Steve, your Marauder looks nice, but it's your house that steals the show here. I don't know about the interior, but that is some really nice exterior styling! Do you guys plan on planting a few more trees once the details are finalized?

    Traded the Marauder for a Mountianeer...

    Hey, congradulations! Those SUV's are actually pretty nice, as well as being a good value. When you consider feature for feature against a new Exploror, you actually get more for your money on the Mercury version IMHO.

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    Well, my Marauder is going in to the local SVT dealership tomarrow to have the rear end differential fluid changed again. I'm going to have them change it using full synthetic Motorcraft gear lube to see if that solves the problem. If not, then i'll probably set up an appointment to have this...

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    I have to differ with you, because I think the Discovery is the best looking SUV on the market. It looks like a genuine Safari rig, and it's offroading capabilities are unmatched by anything else in it's class. It is one beefy SUV that was designed well for it's purpose, but not built well at...

    James-WOAFACE, Indy?

    Barry, that is a very generous offer there! James, let me know if I can talk to your parents and help them make a decision. Seriously, they have nothing to worry about as people on this forum are class acts, which means they don't have to worry since you'll be in good hands.

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    Jack, your description doesn't help me as all Rovers always leak. As far as the engine goes, Land Rover just started using a brand new BMW V8 starting with the 03 redesigned Range Rover, which has a 4.4 litre BMW V8 making 282hp. If it's an older one, then it's likely the 3.9, 4.0, or 4.6 litre...

    Replacing 2nd Set of Baer Front Brakes

    It's really my paranoid self that causes me to take excess precautions. My paranoia actually ends up driving a lot of people extremely nuts because I go extreme being the anal person I am. David, I am actually a guy as most people seem to confuse. My handle actually is my full name as it's June...

    You're being watched!!!

    Again, you are assuming what I am without even knowing who I am yet. You have not met with me, and you have certainly not talked over the phone with me, yet you pretend to know what my political affiliation is. I am true democrat in the old school style who has gotten tired of the BS that has...

    Replacing 2nd Set of Baer Front Brakes

    I'm actually such a paranoid person, that I immediately retorque all the lug nuts on my car right after any service that involved the lug nuts and rim being removed. Even if they did have enough sense to use a torque wrench instead of an impact gun, or torq stix, there is no telling that their...

    Order Your Marauder NOW!

    If the Marauder will truly be reintroduced in the future, then that makes me happy. I generally like to change cars every few years and that may be just in time! I hope Ford does it right and gives it real muscle if they plan on marketing it again as a muscle sedan. Hmmm......... My wish list...

    Replacing 2nd Set of Baer Front Brakes

    I was thinking the same thing as David. I would make sure they were using a torque wrench as well. I've had the Baer 13 inch claw system before on my Taurus SHO, and no type of aggressive driving on my part could ever get them to warp.
