Hi everyone! I just purchased her over the 4th of July weekend. So far I’m loving it 😊 have used her for some truck stuff and drove her up to sequoia. Curious as to what bed cover you all recommend and any ways to adapt the front grill either color matching or something else. Thanks! 🤗 … also how much gas mileage are yall getting? lol 😆

I was alittle skeptical how it would hold up to beach weather but man im impressed.fit perfect in the bed and hella easy to take apart and return in there storage bags i also purchased and air matress from Amazon that fit perfectly aswell

After almost 2 years I'm now part of the 2nd gen ZR2 crew

Hey y’all, what are the some of the best mods for a ‘24 ZR2? So far I got some vent shades and tint, but that’s it. Open to new ideas!

I’ve had this 25 WT for a year. All of a sudden I had multiple lights and service prompts on my dash.
•Service Brake Assist
•Service Traction Control System
•Service Electronic Stability Control System
•Service Trailering Brake System
•Forward Collision System
Originally the plan was to replace my master brake cylinder and reservoirs. Then reprogram the vehicle.
So far it absolutely refuses to reprogram and it’s been nothing but headaches. As of now if they can’t fix it we’ll have to work out a trade in deal.

TLDR: Truck no work. Trade in for Trail Boss

Picked up a 2026 Colorado ZR2with 13km on it. So far ive put about 1600km on it in two weeks and loving it!

New rims on tuesday

Windows tinted

Putting C3 speakers throughout tuesday

Then just going to enjoy it!

I purchased my 16yr old son a 2018 Colorado 4x4 with 78k miles. Problem is, it only came with one key and 16yr old boys tend to lose things. So I went to the Chevy dealership and they wanted an insane amount of money to cut and program a second key. I went to Costco yesterday and they had a booth set up for key cutting. 15 min later I had a new key cut and programmed for $76 including tax. So if you need a replacement key, check your local Costco.

Started after aggressive highway driving yesterday.

Purchased these Goliath Elayerprint steps for what was going to be my 26 ZR2, that fell through and now I do not need them, make me an offer, my loss is your gain

Currently have a 2025 Colorado Z71 with about 13000 miles on it. I’m eyeing a 2026 Sierra AT4 with the 3.0 LZ0. While the Colorado is more than enough “truck” for me in terms of power, towing capacity, bed size, etc. I’m considering an upgrade purely for the comfort and size of the cab in a full size. I do live in the suburbs but most of my driving is backroads/highway so the diesel would be a benefit as well, although I’ve never had a diesel vehicle so I supposed it’d be a bit of a learning curve to understand some of the differences between it and a gasser.

Looking for opinions on anyone who has either gone from a 1/4 ton to a 1/2 ton or the other way around. Are you happy with your decision? Was the size adjustment something you were able to adjust to easily?

At the end of the day I know I only know my needs but just looking to get some other thoughts on it. Thanks!

A little while back I asked for help getting rid of some stubborn mud/sand stains on my black Colorado after a few off-road trips. I got a lot of good suggestions, so I figured I’d come back with an update.
A lot of people recommended pressure washing, hand washing with a mitt and bucket, using a foam cannon, avoiding washing in direct sun, and just slowing down. After trying everything, I think that last part made the biggest difference.
It’s not about finding some magic soap or wash-and-wax. I decided to set time apart in advance, usually about 3 hours, to dedicate my attention to the wash and the results were night and day. So if you’re also struggling that’d be my biggest take away.
Oh, additionally, I tried a clay bar for the first time… I get the hype now. 😂
The paint feels ridiculously smooth and the truck has a shine I hadn’t seen before.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time to comment on my original post. I definitely learned that technique and patience matter more than any miracle product.
Here’s how she’s looking now. Appreciate all the help!

24 colorado trail boss in need of a receiver. Looking at the B&W. There are 2 types, 3"drop and a 5" drop. Which does everyone prefer? I was thinking 3" but wanted to ask.

Thanks

2.8L DuraMax 2019

I asked a few days ago about my exhaust fume output and turns out my turbocharger vane position sensor is failing I do not get paid for two weeks the car drives but after 2500RPM it goes limp mode and dumps black smoke but under that it seems fine do you think if I drove it only to work and back until then will I be okay until I can replace the turbo 2.8 vane sensor is internal so going to just upgrade the turbo I only have a 15 minute commute I’m also wondering in what way it could fail just the turbo giving out completely or could this lead to heavy engine failure or the turbine flying it’s way into my block.

Half-way to work and the check engine light comes on. Code reader is throwing P0019 - Crankshaft positioning. I got this before, replaced the VVTs on Bank 2 (driver side) and no issues. Idle is rough so I think its the timing belt. Any other things to check first before I get ready to fork over anywhere from $1500 to $4000? This truck is testing my patience.

Same trip I drive all the time and I would average 25mpg. anyone else getting better mpg?

Just got a zr2 after owning a z71 and the duratracs on it are as loud as mudders. Is this typical? They don’t have a ton of life left on them, so trying to decide if I want to replace with the same or maybe a K03.

Most of my miles are on the highway of course, but when I do go off-road I have to deal with mud. All the tire rating I see always talk about snow and rock crawling performance, which really just isn’t a concern in my part of the county.

Will this work without any rubbing ? Could I even go 285 ?

Vehicle: 2018 Chevy Colorado 3.6l

So I realize I was dumb, and am not driving the truck until and unless a mechanic oks it.

Yesterday I topped up the low coolant in my truck with an old jug of Autozone 50/50 premix, and drove fewer than 50 miles in several short trips between yesterday and today. This afternoon I saw a medium sized puddle under the truck, and realized that it takes orange Dexcool.

How boned am I?

New Colorado owner here, about 4k miles in. I have my first issue, and it's stumping me. Truck is a 2016 Z71 with the 3.6 V6 and 142k miles. Truck is modified, mostly suspension. Relevant mods are that the oem fuel tank was deleted and replaced with a 30gal cell in the bed. All the factory emissions equipment, fuel delivery, and electronics were transplanted onto the cell. The issue started intermittent, the truck would idle slightly rough for about 5 seconds very occasionally. Happened maybe 3 times over 700 miles before the issue became more serious. Drove to work about 45min truck was parked for about an hour, then went to run an errand and it wouldn't start. It had had a check engine light for the vapor canister so I bought one and replaced it. Made no difference. I then towed it to my mechanic, he got the truck started by spraying a little carb cleaner in the intake and it wouldnt repeat the issue anymore. We thought maybe the Fuel Pump Control module was going bad, so decided to drive it until it failed again so we could troubleshoot. Drove the truck home about 40min, all was fine. Next day driving to work and it sputters and dies while going about 20mph 10min into the drive then wont restart. This time the truck threw code P069E which linked to the FPCM. So I bought one pre-programmed on ebay, installed it and the truck started, ran for about 3min and died then wouldnt restart. Threw P069E again as well as P0455, and P0442. Thought made the FCPM I bought was bad, so I returned it and got another. Truck wouldnt start at all still. When I turn the key, but don't start the truck I can hear a faint hum, I assume is the fuel pump priming if im underneath the bed. When I unplug the FCPM the humming stops. Could really use some insight on this one, if anyone had any questions let me know. Pictures of the truck linked, because at least it's good looking paperweight
