Power Steering: This truck has Electric Power Steering. I assumed that it meant that my steering column was not physically connected to the steering gear box. Wrong. I just went out and saw that there is indeed a steering column that extends all the way down to the gearbox. The gearbox itself...

Here is a Vid of the TFLTruck guys crawling over one of the new Bison Colorados that will be coming out. I watched it just to check out the new parts I will be able to buy from GM. lol I will be able to buy a cool looking "Chevrolet" front grill (Assume all grills like this were inspired by...

Here is a link to a video of a pretty decently rough road out in Baja. Pretty much any 4WD (with Low Rang/Xfer case) could easily make it through here. You just need to armor the underside of your vehicle. I do love this YouTube channel. At min 12:30 you can see the damage the vehicles...

Fuel Economy Test #2 Complete: Topped the truck back off @ the same pump @ the same gas station & did two clicks. Gallons used... 16.616 418.9mi / 16.616 = 25.21064mpg For my particular commute... this truck gets some great economy! Not bad for a 4x4 Truck with 308hp. EDIT: What is...

I bet it depends on driving style. The more stable the foot/rpms... the easier for the Comp to do good calculations/estimates.

That is true. The Trifecta does look like a Triple Whammy. More Power, Better Fuel Economy, and Better Transmission response

Thanks! It is good to know that... with the driving that I am doing... I can just leave it off. A clear mind means a lot to me so I had to do a test for... me. I will just reverse the anchor nuts for the air dam and slide them back onto the truck. Then when I do a cross-country tow I will...

Fuel Economy Test #2 Complete: Air Dam Removed OK. Obviously this test was done a few weeks apart from the first test. The weather has cooled slightly. On this particular test I did run into a 5-10mph head wind... with heavy rain for one of the 50mi legs. Which made my fuel mileage plummet for...

After the talk we had this morning I decided to take a look at what Trifecta has to offer for the Colorado with the 3.6 (saw an option for the 4cyl as well). Looks like for the 2017-later 3.6 V6 there are three options. https://www.trifectaperformance.com/store/category/1309-36l/ The base...

Great Pics! Thanks... and now I am subscribed. :grin:

That is something I am looking into getting. We can drive out on the beaches on the Outer Banks... but will need some shade. Running a few ideas through my head. Let us know how you like it! Thanks...

I am pretty confident that it is all about (well the main thing anyways) right foot/throttle position. I have noticed that just a few mm difference in foot position can make a massive difference in fuel economy. Cruising at low RPMs will enable the engine to lean itself out and run more...

3.6L V6 Engine Info: Since I just bought this truck and plan to do all of my own work on it over the next 1 to 3 decades... I am reading up on my engine. It is hard to dig around and find info. However, I just came across a gold mine that someone else discovered over @ coloradofans.com!!! From...

Found another Bumper for the Colorado. This would be the one to get if the apocalypse ever came. Found it on... https://www.rocky-road.com/chevy-colorado-bumper.html It is an ARB bumper. EDIT: In case you have not noticed yet. Anyone who starts throwing this kind of armor onto a vehicle also...

Both of those are so awesome that neither looks real. Thank You!

Fuel Economy Test #2: Air Dam Removed OK. I am not done with this portion of the test yet. It is only Monday and I have two more days worth of driving left till it's complete. It has been a few weeks since I last completed the first portion of the tests with the Air Dam Installed. So the...

OK. I am back home from work. First pic was of the result of 3 days worth of commute. Actual pump calculation ended up being 25.45mpg... which could have been a different pump squeeze. I used the same pump for each and every refill so far. I have the 2018 Z71 4x4 V6 and aired tires up perfectly...

I live in the land of GIANTS. Parked at work earlier and noticed that the bottom of my rear bumper is the same height as the front end of some lifted full sized trucks. Good enough... though I bet my departure is not quite as good as theirs... maybe. Should b fine for super rough roads though...

The first test was around 313mi for the commute over 3 days. I will post a pic in 8 hrs after work... or tomorrow morning.

That is something good to know. Thank You! I think it is kind of creepy that all you have to do is call OnStar if it gets stolen... and that they can shut down the vehicle remotely. What about hackers?
