Pontiac Montana??

Question

I was wondering where i could find a new engine for a 2001 Pontiac Montana or perhaps a used one?

The problem with this motor was that i was driving and just happened to look at the temperature gauge and it was all the way up 260 and a red warning light came on and said no engine coolant , so the next day i change the oil to see that the water and antifreeze somehow got into the oil pan, what happened?

Answer 1

If you and your wife drive kids around and some times space out on checking the coolant level? My best reccomendation is Bite The Bullet and have GM replace the Motor with a Factory long engine assembly. While costly the new motor will be warranted and installed by a technician who has had the front Sub Frame out many times. And the technician will know what to look for because many times owners Never went back to the dealership for the intake manifold recall that causes coolant to leak into the engine. Call GM customer cares hotline and see if they will participate in your new motor because 7 years is just a little early for an engine failure... "you state I was looking to purchase a new GMC soon" That make GM more likely to help you to keep you as a GMC customer..

Answer 2

You can find one at your local junkyard (if there was a Montana that had been totaled in a rear-end collision). However, it may not be worth it to put a new engine into the van. If it has that many problems with it, you may be better selling it for parts and metal and putting the money towards a new car.
