Trolling again? The intake gasket problem has been solved. Why would GM

The facts are 90% of people with a 3.1, 3.4 or 3.8 will have an expensive intake gasket failure before reaching 100k miles. The rest will have the failure before 200k miles unless extremely lucky. Now why would I buy the new 3.9 v6 when GM let the problem with the previous engines go on for 10 or


15 years knowing of the problem hitting customers fo $800 a pop for the repairs. The 3.9 may well have the same problem. Sounds like gauranteed money for the GM shops, now its come back to bite them in the ass. I was a hard core GM fan growing up as a kid in the 60s and 70s admiring everything from a 57 chevy to a 70 454 Chevelle, but lets face it those days are over and GM screwed itself.
