Love this place.
Actually, it was pretty much all regarding the 3.9 and 3.5L engine, which isn't relevant here. In fact, your thread title and question had nothing to do with the car as a whole, rather the question was aimed at the 3.9L engine specifically.
What was said regarding the car as a whole in your thread still holds true as to what's been echoed in this thread, mainly regarding the transmission- the 4T65E can be the weak link when neglected, but can also be pretty stout with regular maintenance.
