Reply #2 lol I just remembered that my truck has a Tow/Haul mode for the transmission. Next time I am doing a hill climb in deep sand (that was when it felt like it was bogging down some) I will leave it in 4HI and tap that button to see if it still engages! Just changing the shift points will...

I am willing to do that at some point. It will add longevity to the drive train for sure. For now I do mostly hwy driving and like the current gear ratio. I am likely to move in a year though. I will think about it at that point .

We are out at the Outer Banks today. We went out to 4WD Beach up in Corolla, NC and did some wild horse spotting/off-roading for the first time. It is my daughters birthday. The kids and wife had a Blast! We found two herds roaming through some beach homes/ neighborhood out in the dunes to...

A snowpocolypse/ Ice Age worthy Chevy Colorado.... A White Colorado Z71 with black bowties just like mine off road...

Thanks! I Really really like it so far. A higher build quality than I was expecting. A bed cover I can walk around on. I even stood in the little boxes and they held my weight. I weigh 200lbs too. Lol

Installed a Diamondback SE cover with side boxes.

Diamondback tool boxes are now installed. Had to drill holes in the new cover. They are Super Strong too! I stood in them after installing. I weight around 200lbs. So... they will suffice for holding tools and such. Lol It looks like I can actually add two more boxes later on if I desire. That...

Using the bed cover to take the giant box to the dump today. Suited that the first load be the Diamondbacks shipping container! Lol

Nice! I am glad I was of some sort of help! I ended up reading your user name yesterday after I had made the post already. I recognized it then. I have seen your name over on that thread a few times. It sounds like you got a good deal on the ZR2 too. Congrats! I bet it will be an awesome...

Welcome to OB and Welcome to the Colorado world! I have a thread started on my 18' Colorado Z71. It is about 12 pages long now and is almost all a conglomeration of links to things Colorado. Lots of ZR2 links in there. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/2018-chevy-colorado-z71.18649/...

Diamondback Bedcover is on! Well... I still have to install the two front toolboxes I ordered and make some final adjustments to how tight the front portions latches down. My first impression is... it is of Extremely High Quality! Great wields and super easy to install. It does indeed take...

Imogene Pass This looks like it would be a great little 4hr loop in Colorado. I would give a whole day for it though to stop and explore with the kids. I saw several sections that anyone with a truck would have to watch the back bumper on. As well as the front bumper in a few spots.

Expedition One I just found yet another vendor for the Chevy Colorado (and others) that I didn't know of. www.exp-one.com

I just got an email update from Diamondback yesterday stating that my cover is built and will soon be put into the mail. They gave a tracking number and such as well. Being that was a Friday (nobody wants a product built on a Friday! Lol) I looked up their building process. Turns out my cover...

Ah! That is perfectly fine then. The Ridgeline is officially the only one with a tiny donut spare then. Mine is a steel rim as well.

True! Hey everyone... here is a new YouTube vid comparing a Colorado ZR2, a Ranger FX4, and some Tacoma’s off-road. They all did great. The only thing I didn’t like/was surprised by was the donut instead of a spare on the Ranger. That being said my spare is full sized but a street oriented...

I do not blame her. Lol

Oh yeah. Proper ventilation of the oil in an engine is super duper important. The exhaust gas blow by on the piston rings contains lots of carbon (what makes oil black), water, and other contaminants. Having it well vented keeps the seals from blowing. I wonder if those engines just have a lot...

I have a feeling that is how this problem was able to show up without GM/Toyota/etc catching them. When they are torture testing their vehicles and running them through their paces... it is only on a few trucks and things like this will not show up. Those trucks likely go through long hard days...

Roger. Sounds like it will be a simple fix then. Just have to get the water out of the system and put in some good fluid. Then they can change out the converters of those guys that had them damaged. Do you know what the new fluid type is?
