Just bought a Buick Lesabre Christmas Day.
Did'nt get any details on maint. It has 64, miles I have put around miles on it. My quest. I wanted to go with synthetic when I change any sugestions. Where do you buy accessories for your Buick? Right here in the forum store! Looking to update and upgrade your Buick luxury automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately! Blimpy Buick Newbie. It would be a mistake to drop the III. It would make an exceptional mid level engine.
It may not be as silky as the newer designs and is less powerful per ci but it has better mpg and is very reliable. Just another example of the folly that is GM. The newer designs will have their problems just like the did for 30 years. GM is fat slow and stupid, history repeats for such entities. You guys blaming GM for everything are amazing. The feds are currently breathing down the necks of auto manufacturers in a manner that is unprecedented. If you're unhappy with the demise of the , get ready to be both further disappointed and outright mad.
You will be paying far, far more for your cars. They will have performance no better and in most cases far worse and in addition they will be much, much more expensive to maintain. Direct your anger and disdain in the right direction. Emissions and fuel requirements must be met. There are no silver bullets contrary to what politicians think. I would fully expect an engine that is 50 years old to reach a point in time when there is no more efficiency to be wrung from it.
GM is not the enemy here. The is a wonderful engine and they should have kept it - I would buy any car fitted with that engine with my eyes closed. Old technology can be continually updated. Innovation is needed to drive performance and that old V6 was not the hallmark of performance. GM can't just keep putting lipstick on pig,. His has fallen apart around him. My in the Bonneville is going strong at K. Main issues they have are the plastic upper intake at egr non-supercharged , lower intake gaskets and coolant elbows.
Keep an eye on those or just change them out and it will run until the car falls apart around it. I sold my Bonnie to a friend with K and the motor was still running strong. The trans was original and starting to misbehave though. Had '98 Z34 Monte Carlo, it leaked oil and used coolant for the last 20k miles I had it, but never let me down and still ran great. They don't last very long if the coolant passage into the intake that cools the EGR passage gets plugged up.
They burn a hole in the manifold which then applies full manifold vacuum to the cooling system, which unplugs the EGR cooling passage, and sucks all the coolant through the engine You'll need to log in to post. Log in. I believe it is a model, the one with the sfi. Chance are will will not have a problem with either motor, but the chances go up with age and miles.
Does the 34K engine come with the wire harness and accesories? All the salvage yards I have called don't sell them in sets, or at least that is not how they are listed. Hell, I can get an engine locally, but there doesn't seem to be anyone locally who sells the transmission, so I would have to go somewhere else for that. That is another upside to going to the one miles away, they also have some transmissions available.
I haven't checked about the ecm, but that is listed seperately I know, so even if they have an ecm that is not included in the price. The transmission CAN last that long but they are more sensitive to maintenaince and abuse. However, up the boost, go racing and it can blow.
We have seen a few forum members blow these engines and perhaps they can chime in and tell you why. There not that expensive since usually there in a low resale car like a Buick. These days its not unusual at all to be running good with K. Buying that way, you know what you got when you start, and you have everything you need on hand.
I see people quick to slap a 3.
