Eh maybe. I post on an entire forum of v6's and they all love them and claim theyre reliable. Some of them are up in the 200k mile range and still going. Only thing ive ever herd of going on the v6's are the head gaskets, but all engines are prone to that it sort of doesnt count. Ive had coolant issues, but still not the engine itself. The internals will last forever. A buddy of mine has a turbo charged stock 3.8 that runs great. And i mean its TURBO charged...biggest turbo ive ever seen. Things a beast...but im done measuring d***s.
But as far as the tranny it grinds in every gear and is very loud. Its definitely on its way out soon and yes its filled. Ill probably replace it with a tremac.
