Hi, guys just to let you know that I have a Pontiac Montana 2001 with 92k and the same problem as both of you intake mainfold was leaking Dex Cool into the engine. Know now what GM repair all the 2 gasket under a new special warranty for 100$ deductible. GM also ask for a complete dexcool flush at 159,95$ where they clean the radiator and new dexcool and change the thermostatand change oil free !! (if you don’t done it yet). Total was 259,95$ for all the job done perfect with me. Tips when you go to the dealer don’t act normal be unhappy and ask the dealerto contact GM manager. Good luck.

Yes, I’m now replacing my head gasket for the second time with 171,000 mile. As a second note, does anyone know how to repair or replace the grille inserts on a 1997 Pontiac Transport? Only one screw holds it in place, when that breaks, the insert falls out.

I unfortunately made the swap to Chevy products in 1989 and have had five new since then. My ‘95 4.3v6 Astro AWD was, next to my ‘71Plymouth Sattelite the 2nd best vehicle I have owned. So in 2000, I walked into the dealer who had same van(so I thought) said I will take that one, we made the deal and the salesman I have dealt with and so many people I know have dealt with said I needed to drive the van. I said no, just write it up....HE MADE ME drive the van, so I did around the building got out signed paperwork and he just shook his head. Two weeks later I realized this was the biggest piece of CRAP I have ever owned. Now on my 2nd Jasper new complete engine I am confronted with another problem I can’t figure out. Starter will only work intermittently and clicks, clicks, clicks as if not enough pwr. New Battery, new alternator, plenty of Amps/Volts etc, not the key......what a piece of crap this is. I should have kept my ‘95 that had NO PROBLEMS and 135,000miles on it and ran strong. This van I can’t begin to list the problems, I am on my 4th set of rotors! Brake pads......? who knows, every 4 months or so, front end parts......endless I should have known after several months the entire drivers side drive unit needed replacing! BY THE WAY, 4.3 Ltr CHEVY ENGINES YEAR 2000+/- HAVE GASKET LEAKAGE PROBLEMS CAUSING COOLANT TO FILL ENGINE CRANKCASE....! BEWARE!
Oh yes, My Mom’s 2000 Impala bought same place(no fault of salesman) she is on 2nd transmission, 2nd front wheel drive unit, faulty brake lines which ruptured while stopping quickly, numerous glass issues........Were GM workers sleeping in 2000 or what....?

this is to rich slater. although i own 3 gm vehicles and work at a gm dealer, i dont swear by gm. all manufactures have similar policies when it comes to certain model vehilces. if you like gm then great. i agree with you when you, when people with gms have problems and then start bitching about how bad the product is, well thats because they dont know anything. japanese cars are very expensive to maintain, the parts alone will cost you a leg. common problems with the 3800 series 2 engine in your 2000 park ave incl. valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gasket, oil pan, rear main seal. all those engine will leak, but every engine on the planet requires maintenance.

I’ve driven a 2000 Buick Park Avenue for 80,000 miles with NO problems. I’m sick of these people who run the crap out of vehicles with NO regular maintenance and cop out to buying Jap Crap and swooning over the claim that they have had no problems since the purchase. Quit maintaining the Gross National Product of some foreign asian country and BUY AMERICAN!!!!

I bought a 2000 Montana in Oct 2003. One week later I discovered that the intake mainfold was leaking Dex Cool into the engine. After I bitched at Gm,they fixed it for $400.00. One month later the six cylinder was not firing and engine was making a loud noise. The engine had to be replaced at a cost of $6700.00. Called GM again.They did nothing for me. Last week I found out that the new engine was leaking again at 63k. O fcourse it is out of warranty. I checked the bolts on the lower intake manifold and to my surprise...they were loose. Is this some kind of sick joke. I have techs saying that it is not their fault but GM. Well it was the dealerthat installed that gasket on the new engine. No thread lock on the bolts.

2 women arrive at the Pearly Gates and a conversation ensues....
1st woman : Hi! My name is Wanda.
2nd woman : Hi! I’m Kelly. How’d you die?
1st woman : I Froze to Death.
2nd woman : How Horrible!
1st woman : It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
2nd woman : I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
1st woman: So, what happened?
2nd woman : I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started! running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
1st woman : Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer---we’d both still be alive.
A report published Monday in The New England Journal of Medicine warns that the nation’s obesity epidemic has reached a new level of crisis, with many overweight Americans’ increased girth rendering them physically unable to end their own, fat lives.

John & Marsha decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 8 year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities. He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation:
“There’s a car being towed from the parking lot” he shouted.
A few moments passed. “An ambulance just drove by”
A few moments later, “Looks like the Anderson’s have company” he called out.
“Matt’s riding a new bike.....”
“The Coopers are having sex!!”
Startled, Mother and Dad shot up in bed!!!
Dad cautiously asked, “How do you know they are having sex??”
“Jimmy Cooper is standing out on his balcony with a Popsicle too.”
The wife comes home early & finds her husband in their master
bedroom making love to a beautiful, sexy young lady!
“You unfaithful, disrespectful pig! What are you doing? How dare
you do this to me the faithful wife, the mother of your children! I’m
leaving this house, I want a divorce!” The husband, replies “Wait, Wait
a minute!
Before you leave, at least listen to what happened”
“Hummmmm, I don’t know, well it’ll be the last thing I will hear
from you. But make it fast, you unfaithful pig you”
The husband begins to tell his story . . . “While driving home
this young lady asks for a ride. I saw her so defenseless that I went
ahead and allowed her in my car. I noticed that she was very thin, not
well dressed! and very dirty. She mentioned that she had not eaten for 3 days.
With great compassion and hurt, I brought her home and warmed up the
enchiladas that I made for you last night that you wouldn’t eat because
you’re afraid you’ll gain weight; the poor thing, practically devours
them. Since she was very dirty I asked her to take a shower.
While she was showering, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full
of holes so I threw her clothes away. Since she needed clothes, I gave
her the pair of jeans that you have had for a few years, that you can
no longer wear because they are too tight on you, I also gave her the
blouse that I gave you on our anniversary and you don’t wear because I
don’t have good taste.
I gave her the pullover that my sister gave you for Christmas that
you will not wear just to bother my sister and I also gave her the
boots that you bought at the expensive boutique that you never wore
again after you saw your co -worker wearing the same pair.”
The husband continues his story . . . . . “The young woman was
very grateful to me and I walked her to the door. When we got to the
door she turned around and with tears coming out of her eyes, she asks
me:
“Sir, do you have anything else that your wife does not use”
