I replaced the OE General tires on my Colorado with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. A little more $$$, but these tires are great. I really love the ride in my truck now.

If the front tires are badly worn on the insides, get your dealer to look up the TSB for it. I have an 05 with 15k miles and just got the alignment and 2 new tires free. According to the TSB all 04s and early 05s have the problem. Mine was outside of the range for the TSB but they still did it with no questions.

I know its galling to have to replace perfectly good tires but youll be amazed by the difference.(I was)Theres lots of good choices but from what I see from this forum pretty much anything is better than what GM put on. Now if I can only find someone interested in the set of low mileage generals setting under my back deck lol

I went with the Michelin Cross Terrains on my 05 crew cab 2wd. What a difference! Had one general starting to seperate at 17k.

You asked the question, "I wonder why the valve springs stick". I have a 2.8 2005 Colorado that had the exhaust valve springs replaced. A GM dealer shop manager told me that they were told that the valve spring vendor shipped GM incorrect weight (too light) valve springs. So much for quality control!

I have a question on these Rear Vents. Has anyone had them replaced? I found TSB 06-08-66-008 "Revised Pressure Relief Valve Replacement". It contains revised information on the rear vent replacement. My 2005 Colorado has a lot of road noise and you can hear the vents opening and closing when there is wind and the windows are closed. The noise is very annoying. From this TSB, I get the impression that an earlier TSB was replacing the rear vents

I have a 2004 I5 with auto trans. Lately when I start my truck in the morning the starter skips a little. I know it has some kind of system that all you have to do is turn the key to the start pos. and let up and it will start the truck. Has anyone noticed this with there truck?

What rear vents are you talking about; the pressure relief valves in the doors?

I guess you call them pressure relief valves. On my extended cab 2005 Colorado, they are on the both side of the back of the cab. Whenever there is a slight bit of wind, the are flapping and making a lot of noise.

I don't believe they are supposed to flap in the wind. No matter what we are talking about, I don't know of anything that is supposed to be loose like that. See if you can reach them and snap them in place or if a fastener is missing. I'd bet that's your problem.
