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

No I never buy extended warranty's as I fix all my own cars and like I said I have owned many 3.3's as alot of people I know and none have ever broke a camshaft. Like I also said I have only seen 3 in 20 years so just because some do fail doesn't make the 3.3 a bad eng. Just count how many have never had a problem. The TSB says if the cam bearings show wear signs to replace the shortblock. And when the cam bearings turn 99 % of the time we replace the shortblock as in the long run it's cheaper then a complete overhaul. But this is why I wont help anyone on any boards because so many bad mouth all dealers because they feel they were ripped off and I get so sick of hearing how all dealers are rippoffs. Some are just as in any kind of work but not all. And yet after we get badmouthed I see post where people are asking for dealer techs help. Yea they want my free help but then turn around and call me a ripoff. If they want my profesional help they can pay me 1 hr of diagnosis time. I have worked hard for over 35 years to be the best I can and I know most people could never do my job so I guess I get sick of hearing all this stuff about dealer tech from people who make more then me but could never do my job. I also take great pride to treat all people fair and do a good job. And I get harassed at times by other techs for taking to long on a job I want to do right.

So thats what I see on this side every day. The guy who has an attitude before he walks in the door. You may have gotten ripped of I dont know but please dont judge all dealer techs from what 1 dealer did to you. Ron
