How much is that going to cost you, I would just get another decent low-mileage 3400. Your car seems to be a huge money pit... imo.

Yeah, swap the LD9. No one ever has problems with that motor. The 3400 is just horrible garbage. I can't believe anyone would run a company just to make them better....pure shit. May as well swap an L67 in there instead of a 4 cylinder. Oh even better, LS4. Afterwards, when something else breaks, we can call the alero a piece of shit and get a BMW.

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong, I've been trying to blow up my 3400 for four years and it just keeps running. Now the tranny won't shift anymore if you give it too much gas, so I think I'm headed in the right direction, but it still is able to drive around and get the groceries. Is there a trick to getting it to total fail mode? I'd like it to fail once and for all so I can just go into debt and get a bimmer and achieve some status, but it seems not to be in the cards. Some people have all the luck.  |
