Replying to: laserblue (Feb 24, 2009 10:18 am) Example, Aluminum expands faster and farther than steel does at the same temperature, the 3.4 engine has a case Steel (case iron) block with Aluminum heads There's a better chance of tiny leaks due to the disimaliar rates of expansion of the two metals. Compare this to other GM engines that are completely made from Aluminum, like the 2.0 , 2.2 , 2.4, 3.6, 4.4, 4.6, 5.3, 6.2 and the 7.0 liter . These are better built engines. Hope this helps clear up your question.

Replying to: rvoth (Feb 24, 2009 3:57 pm) I thought it could have been a busted head gasket because the engine head is a bit dirty but every engine I look at seems to be like that after a couple of years and replacing a head gasket could have cost me around 1,000$ or more. I appreciate your reply.... Thanks again. |

Replying to: sportsbuggy (Feb 25, 2009 5:34 am) I have an 2008 Equinox LT 3.4 liter ,had it for six months 6800 km and love this engine / transmission combination great for the city and good on the hwy. It has (220) ft/lb torque you can feel when starting from a stop and conservative amount of horsepower (185) . If you are looking for more speed/horsepower look at the SS version with the 3.6 (264) hp and 250 ft/lb of torque. It gets just a little less fuel mileage but much more power with a six speed transmission. I would purchase this vehicle again it has too many positives going for it. |

Replying to: rvoth (Feb 26, 2009 1:54 pm) I was even lucky to find some winter tires for my Nox. I had to go with a different tire size than my originals because they were out of stock. Tire companies knew about all this, they should had upgraded there tire quotas for the 2008/09 winter. Personally, it's my first time that I buy winter tires in 34 yrs of driving. Had no choice, it's that or getting caught without them and pay a 300$ fine + still have to buy some within 48 hrs.
