Has anyone changed their thermostat on the 3.4 V6? I managed to get everything off except the lower thermostat housing bolt which would not budge. If I could...
I removed the crossover pipe to reomve the bottom bolt. The thermostat is probably one of the hardest things to change on that engine. Brian Kehoe 01 Alero...

Well as of today, I no longer have my P.I.T.A. 2000 Alero GLS. It finally just quit. I have traded it in on a Pontiac Montana. Although my Alero was fun to...
Thanks Brian. I had thought of doing that but I ran out of time and was too frustrated and ticked off to do anything else. Do you recall if there were...

With over 171,000 miles what do you expect? A few thing will go wrong with it. Not to discourage you but my friend had a Montana minivan. One month after...
Doug, 171k on a car. I'd take that anyday. Good luck with your Montana. I had a couple of Olds Shilouttes which were similiar and those were good vans. Jeff ...
Jeff, Believe me, it wasn't easy getting there. She was a good car and was fun to drive, but I couldn't handle any more headaches. My problems started when I...
What do you expect? Things go wrong, including transmissions. I'm not talking normal wear and tear stuff. If you've been on this board long enough you know...
When I said crossover pipe I meant the exhaust pipe, not the coolant pipe. I managed to get the coolant pipe off easy enough but the exhaust pipe is too close...
I am not disagreeing with you Doug the Alero has more than its fair share of problems. I want to get rid of mine also but with all the repairs I have paid and...
Well for me the distinction of worst vehicle to ever drip oil on my drive goes to the 2002 Ford Explorer ("Exploder") that I leased. The first two years and...

Okay, so I just spent like $930 something fixing my car. I had to get the intake gasket fixed because I had an external leak. I got a tune- up, transmission...
... Well, just a guess that you might've damaged your rear oxygen sensor somehow, it's probably the easiest thing to damage by running over something that...
Amber, I had something similar. With me it was just a connector that snapped. If it gets no data from the engine sensors, the computer witches to some kind of...
Fist of all you should get your money back from the dealer about the gasket because that's a known problem (a defect of material) and you should not pay for...
