All 3 use different transmissions (although I think the 3.4 and 3.1 can interchange).
Always wondered why they were floundering, now I know.....

Heh, GM did many bad things, and quite a few good things. I did not get the 3.8 since I knew it was a lot thirstier than the 3.4, as well as not having had good luck with a 3.8 in a prior vehicle. Sadly, all the big 3 are floundering, and all due to union mismanagement and plain and simple greed in the direct management practices (3 private jets to DC ring a recent bell????)
