3.3 and 3.8 V6's, MUST READ FOR ALL!

I bought a Chrysler Town & Country mini van in 2002 and just traded it in this summer for a 2002 Chrysler Concorde with the 3.5 litre. I hated my mini van the whole time and will not ever get another one. Only 19 mpg, not very powerfull, had to down shift out of OD every hill. Now that I hear this about the engine I am even happier that I got rid of it. Save the other stuff, I think that sucks that you have to replace the short block just because the cam broke. I will definitely stay away from the 3.3 & 3.8 V6 powered rigs.
That 3.5 in my wifes Concorde is sweet. Last road trip 29 mpg, drove up over a mountain pass in OD with cruise & a/c on. If you need to pass on a two lane road, goes from 60 to 100 in short order. Good car.
