I heard or read it was because of the integrated transfer case. Don't know but its a heavy son of a gun.

what makes the auto behind a 3vze a 'turd'... it's an engine with 'mediocre' torque... little more than the 22re.

I could very well ask why the 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP can barely manage 18 mpg in spite of over 200+ hp.

We've come a long way for economy, haven't we?

yeah to upgrade the auto trans you pull it and replace with a 700r4 or turbo 350 along with a 4.3 or 350 motor.
