Well George they said the head needs replacement and it's supposed to be a common issue for the 3.6. I'm just baffled and pissed off by the whole scenario.
That's most modern cars for ya. Everything is designed to last a very finite amount and then "remove and replace".
I want to sell my 2000 Buick and get a newer Ecoboost Mustang as a daily at some point but I'm sure the engine won't last anywhere near as long as this trusty old all-iron 3800 V6. If only I could easily and cheaply swap that engine into something smaller and lighter with a manual transmission and RWD... Might do it with an XJ Jeep Cherokee some day.
