Hi All,

What's everyone's experience with the 3.3L? I'm interested in longevity information, known issues, etc. Assuming everyone has read my last post, I found a replacement for the dead '98. It's a 2000 with the 3.3L and about 98,000 miles. Seems tight and strong, although after the 3.0L anything might seem strong. I realize that I'm probably preaching to the choir, but I'm interested in informed opinions.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

I have a Chrysler 2006 Town and Country minivan. Today's date is 05-22-2020. The car now has 137,500 miles on it. The engine is now shot. My mechanic say it is the head gasket. That repair would cost anywhere from $2500-$3800. That is too much for a 14 year old car. Time for a new car. I live in NYC in Queens. A lot of urban stop and go driving. Is it a good engine, yes, but city driving killed it.If you do a lot of highway mile it will last much longer. The car is being sold for scrap. By the way, I bought it used one year old with 12k miles on it. It gave us long loyal service.
