Hello everyone sorry if this thread is stupid of what not, but its my first time posting here on the MM.net, i am a new guy here. well anyways today driving back from lunch i notice that my marauder now has 75,000 miles on it and never has been tuned up like plugs, wires etc... and i would like to do so soon! i have been searching on the forum for what brand COP connectors but im still unsure should i go with the one from RPMoutlet or the Granatelli ones? and what plugs do you guys recommend? and what else would you recommend that i do for a tune up on my marauder? i already installed a K&N intake and a SCT x-3 tunner. Thank you.

Welcome,
You will prolly need a fuel filter, and a good cleaning of the throttle body/intake and Mass Air Flow Sensor, if not already done.
Have you done the Tranny flush?, Coolant flush and refill (while replacing t-stat)? Brake fluid replacement if it's dark in color...
Have fun and drive safe.

Welcome to the site, Tmd...
Clean the MAF
New fuel filter
Change the transmission fluid & filter
If your coolant is green, change it now...if it's the gold kind, then you're good to go for a while unless it's obviously darkened.

RPMoutlet $ucks do not use them I ordered the COP connectors from them 12/27/2007 and over a month later I finaly got word that they and canceled my order. I had emailed 4 different times during that mo. to find out status with no info back. I called about 10x and the line was bussy the first 9x and I am still waiting for them to refund my card.
And Welcome to MM.net you will learn more than you wanted to know about your car here

Yep whatever one else said above. I picked up NGK TR6IX plugs which are Iridium. Flushing the trans with a new filter, flush the brakes, flush the coolant with a new 180 t-stat and flush the power steering fluid would all be a wise choice to do if you haven't done them already and don't know if they were ever done before.
Better to be safe than sorry.

I just happen to have them in the car right now part #28-1705s you will not be able to get them from a local parts store. I got them from a vender not on this sight because of RPMoutlets f-up.

You might want to flush the brake fluid.
Also, the rear gear oil, don't forget to add the friction modifier for the limited slip.
