    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    I don't think I like the sound of that. I'll try some additive first, but wouldn't it be chattering instead of making a rubbing type vibration if it needed the additive? Also, if it was the additive, wouldn't it be doing this even when i'm not giving it gas while going around a sharp corner?

    Wierd rear end vibration and noise while turning

    Hey guys, I just got back from a trip and my rear end seems to be doing something wierd. As I got home, my rear end started making a wierd vibration and rubbing noise everytime I made a sharp turn while accelerating. I just went out and tested it again, and it only does it when you are giving...

    Did anyone else just have their insurance rates double???

    I still think that's a bargain since I pay about $2700-2800 a year for my Marauder. I've been with Progressive my whole life, so I really can't give you any advice unfortunately on what to do...............

    Lug nut torque spec and size....

    Benny, thanks for the clarification on the specs called for in the owners manual. Jack, I have to agree with Billy on this one. In a society in which lawsuits have become an art, i'm pretty sure Ford spent a bit of money on R&D to determine what the proper torque settings should be on the lug...

    Where's the Anvil?

    Well, as some of you know, the 03/04 Cobra's are classified as a compact car to my knowledge, but they tip the scale at over 3700lbs for the coupe, and between 3900-4000lbs for the convertible! Of course, they have so much torque and power that they haul ass no matter what.

    Lug nut torque spec and size....

    The 85-105lb-ft torque spec was somewhere around page 140 in the owners manual in the section on how to change to the spare, or something like that. Right now, it's dark, but i'll get the exact page number sometime tomarrow morning. BGM, thanks for the tip as i'll torque them to 95lb-ft next...

    Chirp when a/c compressor cycles on?

    Well, before I decided to give up at my selling dealership, I decided to give them one last try which shocked the crap out of me. The chirping was getting worse when the compressor was cycling on, so I made another appointment with them. It was just my luck, that it had stopped chirping just as...

    Lug nut torque spec and size....

    Hey guys, I was curious what you guys torque your lug nuts on the rims to. The manual states to torque them to anywhere between 85-105 lb-ft of torque. Personally, I torque mine to 90lb-ft of torque using my torque wrench since I don't want to overtighten anything by accident. Also, while the...

    I Maraudered a Caddy XLR

    Kenny Brown seems to have gotten quiet, but I always understood that their current supercharger package is like their "stage 1" with their next stage of stuff coming soon for the Marauders which I thought would include a way to increase displacement, and strengthen the internals. Anyone here...

    Oh, The pain!!!

    Actually, I would like to see in this year's National League Championship series, the Reds square off against the Cubbies. That would be the ultimate series for me as the Cubs are my favorite Nation League team. Of course they would be shut out by the Reds who would sweep the series and go on to...

    I Maraudered a Caddy XLR

    Hey, Congradulations on the kill man! Everytime I hear these stories, I cringe because I know that's where I need to be. We pretty much know what each of the Marauder tuners are offering at this point. However, I wonder if Kenny Brown has anything else he plans to offer for our cars as last I...

    Oh, The pain!!!

    Whoo whoo! Go Yankee's! Also, Go Red's! The Red's have really been the surprise of the year. Nobody ever thought that they would do as well as they have this year. Of course, it's still early in the season, but I hope this continues. I honestly would like to see a Yankee's/Red's World Series.

    Beware of SHELL gas in the South!!!

    Thanks for the info. I'm only heading into Kentucky and Tennessee for the holiday, but i'll stay clear of those stations just in case. Shell needs to get on it and find out what's wrong, because this is happening too often with them.

    How in the world can those plastic body panels cost more than steel?

    Marauderto return in 2007 with 6.2L 4V

    I agree. When you consider that Ford sells more than 800,000 F150's each year, you can see where the profit is. I find this news exciting and can only salivate over what SVT might be able to do with it on future Lightning models. However, the new Hemi powered Rams do not get very good gas...

    Dan, I actually had no idea Folgers was American or not. However, it is my brand of coffee that I drink, so I mentioned it.

    have you found rubberbands in your engine compartment

    Steve, I wish I was joking. I was having my local repair shop flush the tranny, and change the filter. I have known the owner for a long time, and I always walk back to watch them doing work on my car. I was watching him take the pan off and as he drains it, I hear him say, "What in the hell is...
