I have a 10th gen. Impala with the 3.6 LFX engine. It has about 186k miles. I have no problems currently with the car. It runs great, no codes, does everything I ask it to do. My question is whether it's just time to do the timing chains and water pump job before I get those dreaded codes and driveability issues that so many have talked about with these cars. Im also wondering how difficult this job is to do myself. I have done lots of timing belts over the years and many other repairs, but from what I've heard this one is a bit of a bear to do in the driveway. This is our car that we take on the road and stuff if we have to go out of town, so I do need it to continue to be reliable. I bought the car with 142k miles on it and have changed the oil at a bit over 4k miles since then. The previous owner seemed quite meticulous as well.
