#255 of 389 2004 Colorado by bonz1 Sep 21, 2008 (4:16 pm)
The only person that has changed my oil is the dealer. I only have 4500 miles on the truck.   thanks very much for the feedback Replies to this message: donnyr (Sep 22, 2008 5:08 am) sgfunk (Sep 27, 2008 7:04 am)

Replying to: lift4041 (Sep 21, 2008 2:32 pm) Guys, the oil filter having or not having a check valve would NOT be an issue with the Canyon/Colorado engine. The filter is in the VERTICAL position on this engine, so how would the oil drain from it, when the engine is shut off??   The dealer is giving you a load of "hooey".......   BTW, I've been using Baldwin filters in my Canyon ever since the first oil change, and I've had no such issues. (Oil changes every 2000 miles, 25,000 miles currently on truck) Replies to this message: lift4041 (Sep 24, 2008 1:48 pm)

#261 of 389 Check Engine Light by jaytee2 Sep 22, 2008 (4:45 pm)
I recently had my check engine light go on. I have an 04 4wd canyon w/ z71 pkg, 5-cyl. I took it in to autozone to check the codes and a code corresponding to a bad o2 sensor came up. I changed the gas filter (removed the neg cable) and the ck engine light went away (i have 30 k on it). However later about 200 miles later the ck engine light came on again and then went away. I have not seen the engine light come back for about 100 miles. Any thoughts if this is the initial signs of the bad cylinder head problem i have seen on this discussion board. Thanks.

Replying to: leadfoot4 (Sep 22, 2008 4:34 am) Thanks for you responce, I was thought the same thing. I have been making sure to change my oil regularily. I guess i will look into taking care of the chain tentioner. Then we'll see if there is a difference.

Replying to: lift4041 (Sep 21, 2008 2:32 pm) That is a sign of a poor dealer service center. If a mechanic/service manager can't diagnose a problem without codes than they are not very good at what they do. Check with another dealership. Replies to this message: dbcrue (Sep 25, 2008 8:13 pm)

Replying to: poncho167 (Sep 24, 2008 3:50 pm) i had the same problem with my colorado. About the tensioner.The service center said it takes a second to pump up the racket system on the tensioner.Well that sounds like a premature wear problem. My truck sounds like a deisel starting up.They told me to stop using any other filter except delco.I tried it and it didnt change the noise at start up.Heres another problem. Has anyone noticed and abnormal wear on the inside of there front tires.The factory set them in so they will not rub the inner wheel well. The dealership should of changed this if they did the new car prep right.My front tires are at the wear bars at 12,000 miles.So spread the news maybe GM might be listening.They wont listen to my truck problems.
