Engine Problem with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero

Engine size = 3.4 V6
GM tech = JK, MW, KK, SF
question = I need to see if there are interchangable engines. Like a cutlass or
something. And if so what years?






KK:
3.4L v6 engine from many different years and different make / models will fit.
Some changes would need to be made depending on the model or years the engine
was from. If going with a junk yard motor, they would have the info to cross reference
what years are intechangable.

question = I was stuck in snow, and my wheel was turning very easy; but when I start to drive I lost the
power steering. So is very hard to drive the car now. It's this a computer or mechanical problem???
GM Tech JK:
This car does not have electric power steering, so it would not be a computer problem..
Most likely the power steering pump shaft has broke.
Push and pull on the power steering pump pulley to see if t moves in and out more than an 1/8 inch
or so. If it does, then the pump needs to be replaced, then the system bled of air.
