The 3800 II is the battle axe of the 90s to 00s lineup. The engine is not as much well constructed as it is strongly constructed. The engine is fairly reliable, its no Honda D/B series but as far as a GM engine it is one of the more reliable engines they have made. Also considering how many models used the 3800 II, replacement parts are cheap and common.
