Was probably a fake rating to begin with. Trucks are notoriously over rated at the moment

I know a service advisor at Barlow chevy and from what he was telling me you made the right decision pulling the plug on the Colorado

CaleDeRoo · Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:40 am

The "fix" for the transmission isn't a fix and GM knows it. They'll do that "fix" 2-3 times before replacing the entire transmission, but every Colorado that had that issue even once will get a new tranny.

I had the bed lean and my bottom seat cover would keep popping off. :dillerman:

fixed both of those minor issues.

I'm sure it's luck of the draw but he seemed to think the TC issue was widespread. Either way hopefully you guys don't run into it.

The leaking rear diff on the taco was widespread but I never encountered it. That said I'm a little :aintcare:

over how a lot of people shit all over the taco while I owned it and thinking the Colorado was the pinnacle of mid size truck engineering

Same here..

But I was thinking about it this morning... I run 100% of the time with the transmission in Off-Road mode, so maybe that's why I don't feel these transmission issues... ? I don't care for the shift RPMs in the normal mode, so I keep hitting the button when I get in the truck.

It's all relative. I'll tell anyone in the world that makes less than $250k/yr to run away from a Porsche.

How is that bad advice ? Pretty much what it takes to buy an entry level cayman. At 911 levels you better be at 300k+

I thought they're reliable now?

Get enough owners of anything together and someone will have issues they want to talk about.

The service and parts costs are astronomical, even at good indy shops. IF something fails, it's going to cost A LOT. I charge $185/hr and that's fairly low for a metro area. Many indy shops around me are 150-160.

Also

I'm realistic enough to know that these trucks aren't perfect and are gonna have problems. And I think it's really odd the Zil had all those problems with his out of all the owners on here, but I guess it's statistically bound to happen.

KYGTIGuy · Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:55 pm

Drove a 2018 Ram today and a then a 2018 GC. I think I'm getting sucked into the American way of thinking because I felt downright cramped in the GC after driving the Ram.

The enormous middle consoles in full sized trucks are pretty nice.

cramped in a GC? I mean it is a house on wheels when it comes to full sizers...

I should've known my truck was gonna be a when I realized that my dash was crooked and not even pressed together properly. I did the final assembly on my dashboard myself.

Sad!

you haven't mentioned that until now...

Compared to a full sized crew cab? Fuck yeah. I could cross my legs naturally sitting behind myself in the RAM.

Yeah this was a Friday Beer:30 truck. Or Sunday morning after a Red Wings win the night before.
