I am having the same problem with my 3.5. Also, do you know if there is anyone who provides literature on this Aurora? 2002 3.5L??

Search factory service manual and your make and model year. There are usually plenty on eBay. I don't believe Chilton, Haynes..etc make anything on the Aurora

There's a separate write-up for the 3.5, not sure how it could be that different though, haha!

As I recall, ~$60 for ACDelco. RockAuto has good prices, but I didn't want to pay the shipping, lol!

I tried 3-4 different ways and the one that worked best im still not happy with. My post with the pic shows how the new one sits.
