    Mine was an 04 3.5L AWD also, went through three rear drive modules before GM "redesigned" it so that the rear drive wouldn't kick in until 80rpm difference which when it did would make car completely unstable, I ended up just taking the drive shaft out the AWD was so useless, F-ing thing ate wheel bearings, 20 in 12 years and 120k, three torque converters, OMG don't get me started on that POS

    I have the same thing and hope mine does as well...I bought it with 60,000 miles on it and it only has about 76,000 on it now...Fingers crossed...:confused:

    Well when I bought it used at the a dealer in Westbrook they failed to mention that the transmission had been rebuilt...Or was it the drivetrain? I can't remember now but even though the rebuild was a good thing I was not impressed that they didn't tell me....:hair:
