3.8 uses a chain.
This is a 3.5.
3.5 timing belt was really easy on my intrepid. I imagine it would be just average difficulty in that application since it's transverse.
so are they good cars? what goes wrong with them? . i just get that feeling around newer chrysler cars that something is gonna break. its an 04 w/ 88k they want 7k for it. 2wd. 04 imo was a bad time for chrysler.
I think I'm just gonna go drive it. See what I think. There are 2 recalls for it which isn't bad. It seemed like a quality car. It's not for me. It's for the wife.
I dont know of any huge issues with them. The 3.5 is a solid motor and the 604 is a solid trans if you keep it cool.
oh no i cant leave it alone. i have to boost this. lol j/k although it would be funny.Quote:

i didnt know what trans was in it. thanks for clearing that up. :thumb:
If it was AWD id be trying to boost it too. :)
Lol it was a Fwd. Anyway I bought a 02 trailblazer ltz 4x4 loaded! 78k miles. 6800 bux. Has a 4.2 i6. 270hp. :) it's slow lol. It was just nicer than the PAC. Drove better. Fit and finish seemed better in the tb. Nothing against chrysler. But I don't need a broken down --- car in my driveway like this piece of shyt sentra I have lol.
I like that motor. They're quicker than they FEEL, but you did buy the heaviest one... The lighter 4.2 trailblazers run high 15s bone stock.
