They'll last along time if you dont get it hot.

Yeah youre right, I am needing to do my intake gasket, as a matter of fact.

If you take care of it the 3800 is a good motor. Gm has had some decent motors, some of em just need more babying than others.

Most of gm's v6 and v8 motors had crappy intake gaskets.

Yup, Intake gaskets are about the only real worry though, past that drive em forever, get semi-synthetic oil in em about every 5-6K miles and keep driving

A few months ago, it was shifting really hard, turned out to be the pressure control solenoid, and another one that I can't remeber the name or function of. My wifes uncle and I swithced them out in about 3 hrs. Wasn't really that big a deal.

Cool, so you got it fixed? Glad to here it!

I wouldnt mind having one, they are COMFORTABLE and still get decent gas milage.

Yeah it is fixed, thanks. Dude aside from like high end cars, like caddies and beemers, it will be hard to find a better ride in a car. The do get good mileage, probably the best I have ever gotten. You can tweak em a little bit and get around 400 miles to a tank.
