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......

I finally traded in my 04 Colorado crew LS Z71 3.5L 2wd, and I am so happy! I will never purchase from GM again! Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Sep 30, 2006 3:02 am)

Replying to: chris512 (Sep 29, 2006 6:10 pm) Well maybe you can buy a new Camry and then you will want the Colorado back.

Replying to: rcb03 (Sep 09, 2006 7:23 pm) I am not a big fan of late model trade-ins. You have to ask yourself, why did someone trade-in an almost brand new vehicle? The answer is probably there is something wrong with it. With all the rebates and low financing for 06 and 07 models, I think I would buy brand new. Just my opinion.
#1022 of 1033 3.7 I5 test by the_big_al Jun 27, 2008 (3:16 pm)
Question for hosts ... Does Indside Line have any plans to test a 3.7 I5 equipped Colorado to see if it makes the truck more competitive to a Tacoma or Frontier? It has a lot of ground to cover in the interior department, but also having a little more grunt under the hood would definately help. Replies to this message: kcram (Oct 03, 2006 5:40 pm)

Replying to: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm) Best thing to do is go to the main page of Inside Line, then click the Help link at the very bottom of the page. Then use the "Contact Us" tab to prepare a message to Editorial - you probably want to use the category "Road Tests".   kcram - Pickups Host
