GM 3.8's are bullet proof. Gm 3.8's with a Supercharger are unfortunately nightmares....

Come to think of it, most vehicles with Superchargers are nothing but problems. Sea Doo boats and PWCs (Jet Skis) need a supercharger rebuild every 100 hours... no thanks!

 
The problem with Dexcool is it sticks to everything and overtime eats away/deteriates gaskets and other insides. The only way to get rid of it is not use it at all. I have heard that changing out/flushing regularly will prevent it, instead of keep adding to it. My s10 had it when I bought it. Inside the radiator looks rusty inside until I found out it had Dexcool in it. I got rid of that **** immediately.

never had a problem with mine except pulley.. i changed the fluid 3 times most peeps don't even know it has fluid, never change it and they still go wayy over 100k.. because of the sc the put the power steering pump at firewall like 2 feet down, can barely reach it and the belts and pulleys are hard to deal with.. i didn't want sc car it's what the dealer got for me and for $17k with 10k miles on it in 04 i couldn't pass it up, they were $30k..

i've had mine flushed 4 times but i heard if u switched to reg antifreeze is what messed them up.. i'll see what mechanic says.. ya'll should see his 1970 (i think it is) roadrunner massive blower someing out of hood i forget how fast it is but like 3x faster than street legal lol

 
My last car was a 04 Impala SS. I have a Mechman alt and some parts (upgraded L67 head gasket, front wheel bearings) that Im trying to get rid of.
i have new moog wheel bearings.. idk about the alt.. u should put that on fb and cl..

 
I started working at a Mercedes-Benz dealership. You guys would shit if you saw the prices of the repair orders that I write up. $1100 for a reman oem 180a alt for a 2010 E class, $1200 PER caliper for a G wagon, $350 for a front strut on an E class lol.

u coming next month? cool.. well i'd love to here sub like mine in d2, was thinking about hds3.1, new fi alpha, like to hear almost anything 750-1200rms that would work in 2.1-2.2cf ad.. thought about looking for used new model strato later but the say 1.25cf idk about putting that in 2.1cf with 1100rms probably bottom out.. guys car motor locked up that was coming to get my pioneer today so probably still have that box next month.. let me know know when u coming..

 
Just get a d2 xfl and be done with it.
was under the impression they did better with more power than i have like 1.5k.. the fu 750 really would be impressive with 400 more rms. was debating when sq has sale getting the 3 and maybe later new 1250 if they test well and i'd have entire sq system (have the door speakers)
