Replying to: jhknight (Dec 15, 2006 5:48 pm) I cant attest to the mileage on the 4, but when making my purchase decision on my 05 I hunted and pondered long enough to test drive 4 cyl with both rear gears offered, they reminded me too much of my old gutless wonder 87 S10 with the 4 cyl

Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 05, 2006 9:41 am) Mine has a similar issue - The locks don't work, from the remote or the power lock button. I am working on it right now. It seems like, if your power locks don't function as well, that there is an open circuit somewhere between the BCM(Body Control Module) and the locks themselves. I am still looking into the issue, so I am not sure where the actual issue is.   The wiring to the driver's side door is bad, as 1/2 of the functions on the control panel don't work/don't recieve power at all. Again, a break in the wiring somewhere between the BCM and the controls/doors. Sucky.

I just found out that my truck isnt governed, I bought it used so im thinking that the previous owner removed it, I topped it at 128 from some jerk off in an Altima trying to cut me off, it wasnt even close.

Replying to: matcarlson (Dec 27, 2006 8:33 pm) Hello again, Mine worked for 2 weeks, and now it is doing the same thing, won't lock, and drivers window won't go down. The car dealership didn't do anything for me, because it started working again. Did anyone come up with a fix on this. Anyway we can get GM to fix this with a recall notice? Thanks for any help. giz5220 Replies to this message: mike2250 (Dec 30, 2006 5:30 am) pondscum (Dec 30, 2006 3:33 pm) chuck1234 (Jan 11, 2007 7:39 pm) chevychic1022 (Jan 22, 2007 1:27 pm) mike2250 (Jan 29, 2007 7:56 am) islandcorner (Jan 22, 2007 8:31 pm)

Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 30, 2006 4:45 am) Try this; remove the drivers door control panel. (the window and lock buttons.) Seperate the control panel from it's electrical panel. Clean both surfaces and the terminals and pins. Reapply grease designed for electrical contacts, then do the re-install. What appears to be happening is an intermittent fault in the electrical connection. Dirt or water in the enviornment can enter the door and cause these problems.

Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 30, 2006 4:45 am) if the two issues (lock and window) are not the same cause, it is pretty well known among the Mr goodwrench guys that the motors for the windows have a tendency to freeze up, (but, normally the less used passenger side window). Not limited to colorado. Easiest attempt to jar it loose is a few very hard door slams, that failing, I have (2000 Monte Carlo) removed interior door panel and tapped the motor with a small hammer, which has never failed to free it up.

Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 30, 2006 4:45 am) I've got the same problem with my 05 Colorado. Drivers side window and power locks stop working, but passenger side window keeps working. Seems to randomly to go on and off, but also seems to be aggravated by the computer automatic locking the doors once you shift out of park.   It only happens periodically and mostly more often when it's cold outside, primarily when the temps below freezing. Works all summer. In the winter it seems to come back on once my trucks has heated up and been driven for 30min or so. May be condensation on the contacts...or ???   Did anyone try pulling the door apart and cleaning the contacts? Did it work? Anyone isolate the problem?   Thanks, Chuck Replies to this message: chevychic1022 (Jan 22, 2007 1:27 pm) mike2250 (Jan 29, 2007 7:56 am)
#20 of 75 Bed to Cab alignment by msc43283 Jan 13, 2007 (7:14 pm)
I just purchased a 2007 regular cab Canyon and was doing a little reading on here and found something regarding bed alignment. I have a very light wind whistle (i wouldn't even call it a whistle) and after looking noticed the bed does seem to be out of line with the cab a little bit. Although it looks like if you move it one way it will be out of line on the other side. Is this even worth going to the dealer about? Will they be able to align the bed or will they look at me like I'm crazy??

Replying to: msc43283 (Jan 13, 2007 7:14 pm) Welcome to the wonderful world of wind noise. I have a 2005 Canyon, and for the most part, I like the truck. The one thing that has been bothering me from the outset, however is the wind noise in the cab. I have managed to tone it down quite a bit, however it's still noticible and annoying.   So far, I've:   Aligned both the cab AND bed to the frame. They were within 1/8" or, so, but now I have it dead on;   Applied a layer of Cascade sound deadening mat to the back of the cab, the roof of the cab, and the inside of the door panels;   Filled the winshield header channel, and A-pillars with Dap-plex expandable foam sealant;   Filled the gap around the rear window/body interface with 5/16" rubber tubing;   Added a piece of 7/16" foam weatherstripping from the top of the door, where the OE stripping ends, downward, to where the door handle is, to seal out rushing air;   Applied a coat of liquid Dynashield to the underside of the floor of the cab, for both rust proofing, as well as sound deadening.   Like I said, I've improved the situation, but it still is annoying, especially in a crosswind.
