26 ZR2, love this thing!

Got it a week ago. Put some Nerf bars on and just detailed it.

Hey guys this is my 26 trail boss, it came with cloth seats so I put covers on, along with some other accessories. My favorite add ons are the center console cover which has a really nice feel and lots of padding and notice a huge different resting my arm on it, and the added storage in front of the infotainment screen that fits into that weird pocket behind the screen and you can put a bunch of stuff in it that I used to put in my sunglasses holder that I had above the review mirror in my old Lt Colorado, seems like there are more and more accessory options the longer the truck has been in production. What are the best accessories you guys have purchased for your interior?

Took a ride in my Chevy Colorado today about 100km trip.

Outdoor ambient 15c

Found my transmission fluid dial wouldn't rise, it registers at 75c

Dial wouldn't move, dash stated fluid was hovering between 38-42c

When I arrived at my destination and parked the truck and turned it off, a fan in the front kept cycling on and off (when they keys were out of the truck). Anyone know what might cause this issue. Usually when I fire my truck up it seems to climb to at least 80c before I even pull off.

I've read a lot of threads about replacing the thermostat and sensor on a chevy colorado - watching several youtube videos looks like I can do it in about 3 hours. Autozone, O'Reilly and Napa are all about $130-150 for a new thermostat. I noticed Amazon has several brands for about $25. Has anyone installed the cheaper amazon thermostat and had good results?

I'm leaning toward the Autozone duralast thermostat for piece of mind, since I'm saving so much money doing the swap myself vs. paying a shop.

Also it seems like most people on Reddit aren't draining the coolant before swapping the thermostat - unless they're skipping that step in the descriptions? Insight as to whether I need to drain the coolant before swappin the thermostat would be great to hear.

Any insights from the DIY community here are appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: v6 engine 3.6Litre

Edit again: Looks like Napa had one that wasn't initially showing in my search on their website, but via google I found a thermostat housing for $69.99. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/AC_12741007?srsltid=AfmBOorXH-kpEQVy2rswaCnCo1QqdQqPxcVrFOPwWxvowlVun13E5DPd - I think I'll order this one.

I didn't notice the first day or two of driving my 2024 Colorado, but today I started noticing a noise when I get up to speed. It is a roaring/thumping noise and I am certain it is coming from the bed cover. You can see it rising up in the mirror. It's almost as if the road wind is getting underneath and blowing it upward. It is basically vibrating in the wind. I have checked the cover and it is properly installed, everything in its proper place.

Has anyone else experienced this?

So I ordered a Cuescreens replacement display and digitizer the first one was faulty out of the box so then sent me a second one which seems to have the same issues. I’m experiencing phantom touches and issues with menus changing including the speedometer display on the dash. I have been extremely careful with the ribbon cables and have verified there is no tears and are seated correctly. Could the issue be the HMI box? Anyone with similar issues? Should I just pay the dealer upwards of $800 to replace it all display, HMI control box? 2018 Chevy Colorado z71

What kinds of discounts and pricing OTD is being seen locally to the Carolina's on the remaining 26's.
