Brand new tires. Road forced balanced. Rotated to make sure not a bad tire or rim. Balanced again. Rotated again. Random shake 30s to 40s seems very odd.

No codes thrown. Driving 81 year old dad to Canada did bear hunt. Don’t want to break down.

One shop said could be something minor in tranny or front differential but no way of figuring out just drive it

Two shops inspected tie rods, ball joints, rotors, driveshaft, suspension, all front end can’t find anything

I see newer Colorados ‘17 and up some sort of tranny issue that requires a flush at the dealer?

We leave tomorrow- not much time to hunt this down …

Drive it or rent a truck ?

Was all set up to go buy a 2023 Canyon this weekend with 26k on it. Dealer just called to push pickup out a week because the shop was looking at it and decided they need to replace the torque converter. My first thought was obviously, what un-abused vehicle needs a torque converter at 2.5 years old and 26k miles? I have not driven this truck yet. I have been hunting for a specific color/trim/price combo and this was the closest one but its 2hrs away. Do I back out and keep looking? Or take the risk?

I own a 2020 Colorado rst midnight edition with 49,000 I paid for it 2 years ago I guess they see my oil life thru on star they call when it’s time to change to oil which is fine and understandable but the amount of time they call and text is alarming It more then the foreign solicitors now I could be paranoid and over thinking this but I feel they are trying super hard to change my oil why customers service? Up sale? Sabotage? It’s easy to change my oil so I do it my own it beats sitting at dealership for a 1.5 hours or the money I spend to uber home and back is almost as much as the cost of a oil change well oil life is currently at 20% I’m prolly just going to do it myself unless there’s a side to this I’m not seeing

Anybody own a swing case for their truck and can send me a photo of the underside of the unit. something on mine broke but i dont know what it is supposed to look like so that i can fix it.

I had my windshield replaced a couple of months ago due to a crack. Hit by a rock today and tada a crack. I'd rather not pay to have it replaced again. Is there a recommended sealant I can use just to at least stop it from spreading?

Bought a 25’ Z71 almost exactly one year ago, and I’ve always wanted more turbo sound without slapping on an exhaust kit. I know it’s very hard to make a 4 banger sound good, so want to skip exhaust entirely.

Is there anyway without voiding warranty to do what I want? Originally I was looking at an after market intake, such as the S&B dry filter, but too many people told me that I would then be investing much more dirt into the engine. I did call the dealership and confirmed this wouldn’t void the warranty directly, only if your engine blew up and they determined it was directly caused by the aftermarket intake.

One other thing I was told but can’t find much info on, is simply taking off the “baffles” on the stock intake that are directly there to muffle the turbo sound. Has anyone done this? Is it easy to do? Does it have any downsides and how much louder does it make the turbo spool?

EDIT: Adding a picture of what I am talking about removing

I have a 2019 ZR2 with 88k miles. I’ve had it since January but plan on driving it over 2500 miles round trip to bring a trailer of stuff back from CO to CA.

I see mixed opinions about fluid exchange versus flushes for the transmission. I’m leaning more towards just a fluid exchange but wanted to get some feedback.

So I have a 24 Colorado and I went fishing loaded my kayak in the water on a trailer pulled out parked everything fine. I could tell a storm was rolling in so I fishing the bank by the truck if all else fails I can just pull the boat on the bank wait on it to pass. I did that not even 40 minutes as I was fishing by the truck I get back in start it and it says service 4wd now the dealership I bought it from is trying to say rodent damage. I seen no rodents around and I was 30 feet from the truck tops. Here’s the kicker talked to him about it being covered by warranty and everything was good but as I’m going out the door says unless it’s rodent damage. Kinda suspicious to me. But has anyone had a service 4wd in 3rd gen?
