04ChargedSS Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Ok, so now I am pretty much done grieving the loss of my 04 SS. So in the persuit of replacing it I have been looking for either another 04 or an early 05. But I just ran across a really nice 03 and was wondering if there was any differences between the 03 and the 04? Like electronics, engine (LQ9), components, etc. Anyone have any info that might help me out here? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion :: SS Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Nothing significant. The '05's had stock electric fans, and a 2WD option...but all the '03 and '04s are AWD and pretty much the same. - Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Different fuel system <{POST_SNAPBACK}> which can be good/better for some FI set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 03, you can change the fuel filter without removing the fuel tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 IMO the 03's have the better fuel system (return style), easier fuel filter swap and a different thermostat. Other than that there are a handful of cosmetic differences, fabric on the upper door instead of leather, key access to the passenger side, red outlined tail lights instead of black and alot of the "standard options" were made true options for 04+. Of course in 05 (I believe) the E-fans were standard which would have been a nice touch in 03. Do a search, there are alot of discussions on this.

SSThunder Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 i thought all 05's came AWD? mine is! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> not all. I think 05 was the first year the 2WD SS was offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
