Found this one locally. 88k on the clock. Fully loaded. I know on the 3.5 engines you look at valve seals and change the timing belt but is there anythinng else guys?


Actually Valve seals are a problem on both the 3.0L v6 SOHC and the 3.5L v6 DOHC that i can remember. Don't recall the other versions of these engines.

88k is an awesome amount of mileage for a 12-13yr old vehicle. I'd be sure the timing belt is done or was done at 60k though as you've already suggested.

Also, the spark plugs (one in particular) can be a pain on this model but it's doable w/out removing the intake plenum w/ the appropriate sockets/joints.

Also the intake plenum butterfly valve has an issue as well with it's plastic parts that wear with time/age.

How much are they selling it for? Hopefully not too much with the recent spike for gas. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
