Replying to: dmathews3 (Dec 08, 2004 2:15 pm) Yep... I would have expected that they would print an addendum to the manual and mail it out, or at least issue a TSB on the auto lock issue.
#345 of 1033 Truck by motorhead1 Dec 10, 2004 (4:44 pm)
Hey guys I have 3500 miles on my 04 ext.cab 4 wheel drive Z85 package. I love driving this truck every day to work and on weekends too. The first thing I did was to remove the small 235/75/15 tires and I have no vibration of any kind. I had a little vibration when I first changed tires but one was out of round and they replaced it. It`s smooth as glass now. I have been really pleased with the power of the 3500 I5 but my gas milage is not at 23 mpg yet but i`m getting 21mpg. I guess my biggest gripe is how cheap some of the interior looks. Good luck with your trucks.

Replying to: ericmn1 (Oct 21, 2004 2:14 pm) Yes, almost exactly at 2000 R.P.M. In my case it isn't a whining noise (although I have that as well, but it sounds more like a bell ringing), this noise sounds more like someone sticking a baseball card in a fan. I thought it might be tranny or tire relatedm but it rattles the plastic stuff in neutral as well. Replies to this message: cmmjjj (Apr 08, 2005 6:04 pm)
#347 of 1033 any 4 cyl reviews? by lngtonge18 Dec 16, 2004 (10:31 am)
I'm looking into the Colorado as a possibility sometime in the next 6 months or so. I would only be looking at getting a very basic model, probably a 4 cyl 5 speed regular or extended cab with rear wheel drive and the base suspension. But I might consider an automatic as well. It seems all the reviews in here are about the 5 cyl. Anyone want to comment on the performance and fuel economy of the 4 cyl? How quiet and smooth running is the engine? Does it feel reasonably peppy with the automatic or does it really need a 5 speed? Would the traction control be really useful or is the engine too gutless to matter (it only rains where I live)? Is the ride noticeably smoother on the extended cab compared to the regular cab?

Replying to: lngtonge18 (Dec 16, 2004 10:31 am) I have a 2004 Z-85 4cyl-5spd. I've a lot of problems with this truck, but I still like it. The fuel economy is about 22-23 around town, and 26-27 on a trip. I think it has plenty of power for a regular cab. The transmission is made in Japan. The General Tires are terrible. No traction in rain or snow. You don't need traction control, just better tires. I put Goodyears's on it and don't have any traction problems. The engine is smooth, it runs at about 2000rpms at 65mph. It does have a vibration at 45-55, and know body knows why. The tires have been replaced twice. The ride is very good for a truck.

#349 of 1033 Noisy blinker relay by ndfar Dec 22, 2004 (10:36 am)
My blinker relay sounds like a loud clock ticking. Is it just mine or are others like this also. I tried to locate the relay and it seems to be in the trim that wraps around the instrument cluster. How is this held on? Clips of some sort? Replies to this message: nosirrahg (Dec 22, 2004 12:18 pm) corvette (Dec 22, 2004 4:45 pm) motorhead1 (Dec 22, 2004 5:05 pm) stephen (Dec 23, 2004 6:15 pm)

Replying to: ndfar (Dec 22, 2004 10:36 am) You might look through your owners manual and see if there's a way to adjust the volume of your blinker - I've got a 2000 Impala, and it offers two options in terms of chime volume; you have to go through the radio and adjust the setting (as you would when resetting your oil change interal indicator), but it can be done. Don't know if the Colorado is the same or not, but it might be.

Replying to: ndfar (Dec 22, 2004 10:36 am) Normal. I thought I was the only pickup driver who used his blinkers. Replies to this message: motorhead1 (Dec 22, 2004 5:05 pm)

Replying to: corvette (Dec 22, 2004 4:45 pm) I sort of like the sound of the blinker, It is different from other autos I have had. I still get many cars that I meet on the road at night blink there lights on high beam when my lights are on dim for some reason.

Replying to: ndfar (Dec 22, 2004 10:36 am) The blinker relay on my Colorado sounds like a metronome. Yesterday, it put me into a trance while I was snowplowing my driveway, and I snapped out of it only after driving in circles for 20 minutes. Snoop Dogg's new hit "Drop It like It's Hot" was playing on the radio and that's what brought me out of the trance, I believe.   stephen
