It's been a while since I've had my Marauder, but I'm now driving an 03 Grand Marquis so I decided to do some of the same mods that I did on the Marauder.
One of them is the J-Mod. I placed an order with BCA Transmission, who used to be the go-to back when I had mine.
That was back in July and I've still not received the items I ordered. I've called, emails, and completed their online form multiple times and have yet to get a reply.
His voicemail says he just reopened his shop after moving, but doesn't give any indication on when that was.

I'm just curious if anyone has had any recent contact/purchases from him or if I'm just screwed.

you might want to talk to Todd at Fred's South County auto repair. 314-638-3557. He has done the J-mod. My guess is Darren is no longer in business. Try 317-514-0816 for Darren

Nothing recent. I purchased a forced tailshaft lube kit about a year or two ago and he was very responsive.

Funny you mention that place BUCKWHEAT. I live right by there and regularly go to the QT next door. Every time I'm there I notice multiple modified Panthers and wondered who was responsible. I'll stop in and talk to Todd.

I've called Darren multiple times and only get his machine. I thought I was charged for my order already but, from what I can tell on my statements, I haven't been. So I just sent him a couple more emails, asking to cancel the order.

I did the J-Mod on my Marauder without problems, but noticed things might have changed with some accumulator springs and wanted to make sure I got the correct springs before doing it.

I assume you still have your Marauder? I really wish I would've kept mine but it just wasn't in the cards at the time.

Thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind.


Nothing recent. I purchased a forced tailshaft lube kit about a year or two ago and he was very responsive.

In his defense, I did order the same components last year and he cancelled the order and contacted me, letting me know he was having major supply issues (as everyone else) and didn't want to take my money until he was sure he could get the parts.
I tried again this year and this time it's been radio silence. I hoped that meant a better chance of getting parts, but it doesn't appear that way.
