Greetings:
This may border on being a ridiculous question due to so many variables, but I will ask anyhow. Is there a typical mileage range that the GM 3800 series II intake failure happens? I am asking because my in-laws are looking at used cars and there are a lot of these engines out there.
On a related note, I see a lot of GM 3800 series II equipped cars on Ebay and Craigslist with trashed engines most likely due to this problem. It is a shame that a great engine design was spoiled with this design flaw.
Thanks,
Andrew S.
