- Consider if you will what the .. "Never had a problem", statement really means. Every part of every mechanical device has a duty cycle or life span and that lifespan is determined by how many times the part does what it does and how much work it does during each repetition.

Hey Pat, nice haircut :) This is your ol' mate from 'Straya :) Back in the earlier 2000's - drove a co. car - late 1990's GM Holden Commodore, 3.8 V6. No probs, but, @ like 350,000+ km - > 200,000 miles & 5 years - Co. had it depreciated it off their books (life-cycled) & replaced it with a Toyota Landcruiser. I thought about buying the old vehicle, but was told that, per co. regulations, the vehicle would de-registered & would be auctioned, "as-is" - No licence plates. I missed the auction & miss that car. Hydraulic lifters, no valve adj reqd. A personal car was a 1987 Toyota Camry, sold to a friend in 2013, coming up to 400,000 km ~ 250,000 miles. He ran it to last yr, to 480,000 km ~ 300,000 miles, till there were signs of head gasket leak. Then he just parked it up - has other vehicles. Fortunately, our life cycle is still running :)
Good point Pat.
I think he is talking about the GM 3.8 V6 engines.
Oh yeah most definitely. Though it’s possible there’s not many floating around out there.
Gm 3.8l didnt have a head gasket issue. Or high failure rate even when modified the Ford 3.8l had big issues
The Ford 3.8L V6 in the mid to late-nineties was terrible. Horrid gas mileage and would destroy transmissions despite changing the fluids regularly. I knew firsthand. It was an option in the Sable, the Taurus and the Lincoln Continental. I knew a guy who worked for Ford in St. Louis at the time who said they had nothing but problems with the 3.8L
So what is the engine? I have a 3.8L too 😂
Must be the Ford 3.8 v6 lol
You can't fix stupid.
Cams cameras 🎥 2019 soon?!?!??
