There is a good chance the courtesy fuse keeps popping because of a metal object in the cigarette lighter.

It truly is threads like this one that make AI what it is. Of all the cars to stockpile, this seems to me to be one of the least likely. So does the 3100 suffer because of a design departure from the 3.3, or is the difference in reliability related more to owner habits (Buick drivers being older, and more likely to have their car serviced by qualified professionals)?

I assumed the 3.3 was yet another displacement variation of the 60* GM V-6 (which to my knowledge has been sold as 2.8, 3.1, 3100, 3400, 3500, and 3900). It makes sense that a variation of the nearly-indestructible 3800 would be a lot better than a 3100.

I have found that liberal application of Fluid Film is the best thing for preventing wheel-to-hub freezing. At least in the Midwest.

Maybe your hub and brake work eliminated a sticky brake at one corner and this is what corrected the steering angle?

Sell the truck. Use the money for another Century wagon (or the Oldsmobile version) and put the hot version of the 3900 in it.

Was that blowout on the front or rear? Consider getting a used tool truck cooling system pressure tester on ebay. I got a Matco unit in great shape for like $60.
