What was missed in this video: The 4T65E is a weak point for the V6. I didn’t discuss this as much as I should have in the video. This video is a 2006-2011 Impala 3.5L V6. I'm also including the 3.9L V6 as well due to it's proven track record. The 5.3L V8 is also a great engine, but has more transmission issues as the 4T65E didn't do so well paired with a high powered engine. This wasn’t discussed in this video, but the transmission was a weak point.
