Replying to: norbert48 (Sep 07, 2006 3:36 pm) Replace your Generals with a 31X10.50r 15. BFG All-Terrain is a good choice. The Goodyear one mentioned as well is also a good choice. You can do some research at tirerack.com by typing in the size. The 265/75 r15 is basically the same size as a 31x10.50 r15 so you wouldn't have to worry about speedo changes and such. The 31 is a flotation tire size and not a "P" series size. Meaning the 31 is geared more for offroad, but there are several tires out there that are also more "road" worthy. In the 265/75 15 there is not as much selection.

Has anyone heard of any upcoming discounts on the 06 Colorado's. When would be the best time to buy an 06 model? Rob Replies to this message: oscarcat (Oct 06, 2006 2:04 pm)

#1011 of 1033 It's official by 1rg Sep 13, 2006 (3:23 am)
Well I now have two letters from GM, one from their "customer service" and now one from "the office of the president of GM Canada" that my problems with my Colorado are, so to speak "in my head" and therefore they will do nothing more for me. Quite an ironic joke to see the add for a "100,000 km warranty" next to this window as I write. Of course they can offer that. They don't honour it anyway. It could be a million ks for that matter. It still just adds up to another big "0". Buy another GM product? Good luck!! RG. Replies to this message: pjjbm (Sep 28, 2006 5:36 pm)

Replying to: norbert48 (Sep 07, 2006 3:36 pm) Michelin LTX M/S. The best truck and SUV tire out there. No contest. The M/S version is quiet on pavement, yet capable off road as well. A set of these tires can last up to 80k miles with very even tread wear. I got 75K miles out of a set and they still had tread left.

Replying to: rcb03 (Sep 09, 2006 7:23 pm) offer $18250; if they took it in trade or thru auction they didn't pay more than $17k. Figuring detail & prep, its fair.

Replying to: 1rg (Sep 13, 2006 3:23 am) I know the feeling, I also have my "it's in your head letter from Chevy" on my 2005, 4 cyl, 5 speed Colorado. The problem is also with the automatics, you just do not feel it as much since the converter is absorbing most of the jerking / hesitation. I had a Chevy dealer admit that Chevy shouldn't be building manual transmissions to go with these "lean burn engines".    Following is more insult to our pain: I just had my Colorado to an independent diagnostic shop in attempt to fix the hesitation problem. He was able to see that the computer is running the engine too lean during normal acceleration in the 1,500 to 3,000 rpm range. Once he took the rpm's up over 3,500, then the computer gave the engine proper gas. On my 2800 engine, I am getting so much misfiring that I have to change the oil every 3,000 miles (that's highway miles because I have 27 miles one way to work).     Back to the insult, the diagnostic shop knows the cause: Chevy has the computer programmed to run the engine too lean during normal acceleration. How does one get Chevy to correct the issue when they won't admit the problem ?     I am giving thought of continuing to nag them.     I'll continue to update this form as the story contiues......
