Probably already been posted but the Chevy website has been updated and the 07 Colorado is there with 07 options. Among the changes is the engines. The 3.7 with 242 HP and 242 ft lbs torque. the 2.9 makes 185 HP and 190 torque. Should help the Colorado keep up with Nissan and Toyota at least in terms of power. Not too much changed with the interior or otherwise that I noticed. There are several new wheel options, but I haven't made it through the whole section yet.

I have a 2005 4x4 I5 and have been experiencing what I thought was the Exhaust valve problem what other trucks have been experiencing. But what turns out the BUZZING and lifter knocking sound is #PIP3811 "Rattle Noise form bottom rear of engine at 2000-3000 RPM--Keywords accelerate bellhousing buzz clatter detonation end hot housing idle knock load lower ping shaft spark." Another words on rare occasions, a light detonation/rattle type noise may be experienced around 2000-3000 RPM under light load/acceleration with the engine at operating temperature. I can hear a light buzz sound when the engine is cold and I can hear a light knocking sound, like a lifter knocking at around 2000-3000 RPM only on acceleration in drive. CANNOT duplicate the sound when it is in neutral reving the engine to 2000-3000 RPM . The Dealer is aware of the Service Instruction "PIP3811" and a repair is being developed to address this noise; They have not yet found a cure to fix the problem. As for the Service Bulletin #04-06-04-081C Exhaust Valve Springs, they said it only applies to the I4 engine not the I5. Can someone concur with that SB? I hope this info can help out with anybody else experiencing this buzzing, vibration problem. |

Replying to: chris512 (Aug 08, 2006 2:55 pm) I will never buy another GM product. =================== brake light switch is a heck of a good reason for never buying a GM vehicle. Go buy a Toyota. Make that a Prius so you can pay out $5000 for a new video screen after warranty. Park it on a steep hill and it shuts down to be towed, spin the wheels in the snow and it again shuts down for a trip to the dealer. Try backing it up a hilly driveway. Can't be done. Buy one so I can see what you have to say about them.

A national newspaper is looking to interview consumers who have decided to hold on to their current pickup truck, rather than purchasing a new one. Please send an e-mail to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Wednesday, August 9, 2006 by 2:30 PM PT/5:30 PM ET containing your daytime contact information and what pickup truck you currently own.

Hi I'm new to this site. I have a 2005 Colorado, 3.5L 5 cylinder, 2 WD and 5 speed manual. No toys. Since new it has had a "hesitation" in the engine between 1500 and 2500 rpm and it occurs in any gear. GM is incapable of "looking" let alone "finding" it and are now looking for similar trucks to mine so they can see if this is a common problem. What they will do when they do is anybody's guess. Has anyone else had or got this problem? If so please contact me as to how you fixed it. The problem is driving me nuts. Has anybody installed a proper hand brake on one of these trucks. If so how did you go about it. The foot brake makes for interesting towing techniques. Thanks, RG

| does anyone know the resistor value of the performance chips as those advertised on Ebay for $10 to $40. I know a resistor is all that is needed and no wires need to be cut. It installs to the two IAT wires. I just need to know the value. thanks | |
