I junked the truck. The prices to replace these terrible engines are unreal, and they will just keep failing. The only good option is an LS swap for sure.
you ruined the engine you put to much pressure on the throttle body case, which caused a evap leak. atlas engine cant handle strain or stress well hints why the engines suck.
Mine has 320K and they are good engines, if you neglect oil and coolant any engine will die.
That's insane!! They are not good engines, but some people get lucky. There is a very good reason they were discontinued.
I've had 2 3.5 2005 Colorado's go well over 300,000 miles.
Lucky feller ^
Valve cover removal.....remove all screws in order to remove cover...or the intake manifold and screws will not allow cover removal...
good point
If the guy was giving it away instead of paying you back, it was a neglected truck that wasn't cared for and maintenance was obviously neglected.
100%!
Do you have anymore videos on Colorado's or Canyon's?
No, i scrapped this one. The engines are too expensive to repair, and swapping a different engine also costs too much to be worth it
@@TheGaginator Oh. Wow. That's too bad.
What did you end up doing? New Engine?
