First off, I wish a very Merry Christmas to all my Marauder brothers and sisters. I hope that the start to 2013 is peaceful and filled with health for all.

Second off--my Marauder is going nowhere. I have been having some serious issues with my G8's transmission. It got replaced 3 weeks ago, went back in because it isn't right, still giving me a flare between 2-3 shift and now also between 4-5. After it is warm it does go away, but man is it aweful when cold. Not sure why the dealership can't get it right, but on my G8
forums this is a recurring theme.

I am thinking of tradering her in for a Taurus SHO. There is plenty of good value left in her, and she is paid off as well. If I can get a D plan pin, the price for year end is looking pretty good for the SHO.

If there are any Ford people out there that have a D pin to spare, I would most definitely put it to good use. You can send a PM to reply.:beer:
Thank you for reading along and have a Merry Christmas to all.

Damn sorry to hear that!

Is your tranny problem a common issue on G8's?

Transmissions and fuel pumps are common failures on anything GM makes. Get a Town Car and call it a day.

Yeah. Me too. I had an issue at around 6k miles. Locked me in "limp" mode aka stuck in 2nd gear. Got a new TCM and upgraded seals. Ran great Wasn't an issue until recently[. Just got a rebuild trans with all the recent upgrades and the flaring between gears is still there. Now they are talking valve bodies. Issue is im not sure how she will be even after that.

On the forums the cold flaring is a known issue.QUOTE=DOOM;1249923]Damn sorry to hear that!

Good luck on getting a D plan pin. Ford has put a serious clamp down on issuing them.
