Default Pretty proud of my Monte :P
So, atm she's sitting at 202k miles right now, and the only things I've needed to replace is the heater core, thermostat, and flush the radiatior.

Is that pretty good for an 03 LS that has that many miles? Cause im feeling lucky right now

Just goes to show you cant go wrong with A Monte Carlo

Very nice! Just goes to show that they'll last quite a while if you treat 'em right

You're making mine look like it's just getting broke in haha!

The 3100, 3400 and 3800 are pretty reliable motors so long as they have been maintained. 200+ miles with no big issues is something to be proud of.

My '94 Grand Am has the 3100 (basically the "old" 3400) and it's got about 215,000. They are troopers!

I did a heater core on mine too. It was a fun job. Those plastic rivets are a pain to get out. Glad your having good luck with it.
