I have to admit that I laughed my a$$ off at the list that BlackDog put together, because I too own a 3.0L (Auto tranny even) and have felt all the growing pains of most what was listed. I don't it hate now, because it runs awesome. I do however, wish it had some more nuts under the hood. With some mods here and there you can squeeze out some extra horses. When/if it explodes, I certainly won't put another 3.0 in.
I say, run it 'till it dies (if it does), then look at swapping in 22re, 3.4, supra, chevy, etc. (tons of options)...
