Hello all, My name is Matt and i live in upstate NYS. I just bought an addition to the family, an 06 Base GP w/ 40k. Its bronze in color (unsure of actual paint name) It replaced the long over due 01 2.2L/stick cavalier(202k over due). I have a 80+ mile a day commute, and this fits the bill well. I've only had it 3 days and love the fuel mileage. It does allot of things i wanted it to do, except have the correct transmisson in it . I've been a FWD GM fan for a long time and have wrenched on many. I got out of the automotive industry about 3 years ago. I then began working where I do now as an ASE certified diesel tech. I'm more than willing to help with any questions, all though there is a TON of information on this site. At any rate i've found an 05 3.8L S/C with low miles for a grand. I really want to do a top end swap this spring ( my garage all though well equipped is pretty thrashed from the cold mid winter projects.) But this 06+ PCM issue bothers me. IF anybody has any more information on it please let me know. The car surely has decent power and is smooth. The 3.8L has really come along ways. The plastic intake is gone!
