Yeah. I thought my trans temps would go up a bit when I added the OEM ZR2 style skids. It may have... but only a few degrees if it did. This morning on my way into work I looked at my trans temps after driving down the hwy for 30mins. The temp was 89F. Pretty darn cool. I actually like the uber...

“Jurassic Park” A vid with some great shots of a Chevy Colorado tearing up some easy dirt roads.

I take it back. The reverse lights And the bed lights are bright AF now!

I just installed some LED reverse and bed lights onto my truck. They were $8.79 per pair from Amazon. Saw them on a Chevy Colorado YouTube channel. They make the bed lights much brighter and the reverse lights a little brighter (and more modern). I can hit the door unlock button @ night with my...

If course I also could be wrong about what is causing it. Toyota updated software on the Tacoma transmission issues too I heard.

From what I have seen... either you have it or you don’t. I don’t have any worries. So far I only have 20k miles on the odo. I have towed across country/ etc. and no issues. GM gave the order a little while back to quit changing tq converters in an attempt to fix it. It was not solving the...

Here is a cool video I found of a stock ZR2 and a ZR2 with a 4" BDS lift, 35" tires, and 4.56 gearing to keep the gear ratios stock with the larger tires. What a BEAST! That would be a great zombie apocalypse truck. lol They offer a 4" ZR2 lift... for $1883...

Top 10 Resale Values Which vehicles in North America have the best resale values? I will give you a hint... Most are trucks! I paid 4k less than MSRP which does not factor in. KBB counts from msrp. I bet the Gladiator and Ranger will be on the list as well in the future. EDIT: I usually...

I just did the first oil change since installing the OEM skids. Verdict... oil changes are just as easy as before. Awesome Oil filter is up on the side of the engine and reached through the engine bay. No factor. Drain bolt is still super open and easy to get to. I did discover that the skids...

One very important thing that these reviewers (as well as pretty much every reviewer I have ever seen) left out about the Chevy Colorado is... the benefits of the "Auto" mode in the transfer case. It has hands-down been the #1 useful thing in daily driving. It unlocks the Transfer Case (aka...

Thanks! I updated the prior post to the new #s.

Ah... OK. I do remember seeing that video. Thank you for taking the time to look. I went back and watched that Edmunds video again on the three tested trucks. You are correct. I was wrong. For some reason I got the Tacoma rating wrong in my head. Here are the specs of those three particular...

Thanks for the link to the GM performance Racing Parts for the Colorado. That Hall racing truck looks like a beast!

I currently have no plans to change the suspension until I put the stock suspension through it's paces first under load. After that comment I did do a good search for around 30mins and could not find what he was talking about. I did find the OEM Racing division parts list. But those super...

I agree. The TFL truck guys are the BEST I have ever seen. They are so much better tuned into their audience. I tried to find the TFL truck flex test video. All I could find was the one where they tested the Nissan, Dodge, Toyota, and GM Full size trucks in a flex test. I think that the Ranger...

Sounds like you are having a hard time choosing and I cannot blame you. It really is a massive candy story out there right now and we are the excited kids! lol I do wish that they would do all of these tests with say 800lbs in the bed. Typically a trucks suspension settles down and everything...

Here is another great review of 3 of my favorite 4 mid size trucks being compared. Honestly they left a ton out in all three trucks but gave a gist of each trucks flavor. The Taco is a TRD Off Road The Rado is a Z71 like mine The Anger is a FX4 I think I didn’t realize that the Colorado has...

Diamondback Bed Cover: Well… I bit the bullet and put a Diamondback SE along with TB inserts on order for my truck. I have been deliberating which route to go for a while now... since before I bought the truck actually. It should be in the mail before March 8th... which is little ways down the...

I like your "tuxedo truck"! My Z71 is the same way (White with a Black Bowtie) I am also pretty much leaving mine stock and just adding what I need as I go. I did remove the front air dam, installed OEM (ZR2 style) skids, some used (like new) rock sliders off of a ZR2, and put a diamondback bed...

That is a very nice looking Suburban! Congrats. Those things can last a long time if you take care of them. My grandfather used to sell his and get a new one every time they hit the 300k to 350k mile range. He was super anal about maintenance though. So they looked and ran like new when he sold...
