The 3.8 GM V6 is prone to blown intake gaskets much more than blown head gaskets. The blown intake gasket causes a loss of coolant which in turn causes overheating and a blown head gasket. The problem exists with most 2000 to 2003 vehicles equipped with the 3.8 Liter V6. There were defects in the upper intake manifold gasket, throttle body nuts, and the throttle body gasket.

Any head gasket can blow......but to be honest the 2.8, 3.1 and 3.4 aren't really known for blown head gaskets. Sure it happens, but the biggest problem with some of the late 90s early 2000s was a weak lower intake manifold gasket. Not the head gaskets.
