I know on Grand Am forums you can change the member thing, and don't ask how I know that lol. Btw, how can you tell if it's a GLS or not?

For the 2000 model year the Alero trims were GX, GL1, GL2, GL3, and GLS which were available in either the 2D or 4D version. So yes there was a GL3 lol.
For the 2001 model year the GL3 trim was replaced with the GL4 trim.
Then from the 2002-2004 model years the GL3 and GL4 trims were both dropped making the trims available GX, GL1, GL2, and GLS.
Now as for finding out whether or not your car is a GL3 you can try entering your VIN number in a website like this one and it should decode it and tell you all the info you want about your car.

Hope that helps you out some man.

Beauty of a $500 car.

$500 for an Alero with only ~155,000 miles on it is really cheap. How much was it after tag, title, registration, etc?

I entered my VIN number and it says "choose which model is closest to your vehicle". I chose GL3. I'm guessing that my Alero is a GL3.

well GLS i THINK is the gold series Aleros. They come with all gold emblems the "alero" "Oldsmobile" and olds tags are all gold. but my car is 9 years old so they are chrome now all the gold faded off. :P but i like it better with the chrome and black paint then the gold and black.
but idk there could be gls thats not gold series also.

i have a GL with a 3400. no features at all, except the v6.
nice catch for $500. I'd replace the LIMG gaskets in that tune up. with that many miles, replacing the gaskets is only a matter of time anyway, plus you'll be sure to not have a coolant issue later on. (or coolant/oil issue)

It's about $600 dollars to replace the LIMG. Some places are more.

Here's a even better link: http://d-tips.com/General/Articles/a...sket/art10.art
I can probably do it for around 300 dollars but I'm afraid that I might screw up the pushrods.
