I just bought a 2007 two wheel drive crew cab with the 5 cylinder and 125,000 miles. I got it at auction from the local utility company so I figured it's been well maintained. I drove it 50 miles home and it runs great and the 60 to 80 is great for passing slower vehicles.
@@thebarathleticclub3512 I have a 2010 ext cab with the 3.7 engine. I prefer this over any of them, I had the 07 single cab with a 2.9 engine, it sucked because it had no room for anything and bad engine and I don't like the crew cab because you're cheated of out bed space. All of them have some form of electrical issues which after being figured out they are great trucks.
My '05, 5cyl, crew cab Z71 Colorado is rapidly approaching 300, 000 miles and still gets 40mpg on the highway and in the mid to high 30s around town. With only a few, nagging, electrical problems I'm very satisfied with the truck.
Change the oil and the Atlas 5 will reward you for another 200k. These aluminum DOHC engines are exceptional from the closed deck to the girdle and sleeves. Their efficiency is why I adore them and own a fleet personally. Clean out the throttle body regularly and electric fans with a low thermostat keep it at a 1/4 instead of close to half. Specially effecting your air conditioning by 10 degrees plus. Good luck!
I just bought a 2005 crew cab 4x4 that went into a ditch at fairly low speed, but hit brush and a small tree. I have to replace the roof panel, windshield hood, grill, headlights driver fender and driver door mirror. 225,000 miles but it was a fleet truck for an excavating company so a lot of highway miles. Been well maintained. Interior is good. No leaks, good belts and runs great. Paid $600. It has the 5 cylinder. I didn't know anything about these trucks so it's good to hear that they are pretty good trucks. A guy I know had one that he bought new and took it in to get a tune up at 200k miles. It was still running well on the original plugs.
My ‘04 3.5L Z71 has a crankshaft seal leak, valve cover gasket leak, and clogged PCV valve. I’m about to fix all this stuff for less than $50. I love my 5 banger. I threw a camper top on it and use it for overlanding. I gave mine hell! She became a local celeb with my friends and people at my local university. I bought a ‘04 Jeep GC and it’s given me so many problems that I want to repair the Colorado sooner than planned just to have something more reliable. Over all my truck has done great for 220k miles and will have more to come. Not to mention the exhaust sounds badass since it’s a unique engine design.
The 3.7 can have a really mean sound to it as well with a flow master and a cold air intake swapped on. I also felt better throttle response and maybe some power gain after doing those mods.
Very informative video - thank you. I've been looking on forums and other videos, and this has the most details provided in the most efficient manner I've seen so far. Good luck with the channel growth!
Been driving a 2010 Colorado 3.7 Liter 5 cyl 4x4 for 4 years and overall it's been a great truck. Now at 135,000 miles Pros: -- Overall it's had no major engine issues. It is starting to burn a bit of oil at 3,000-4,000 miles after a change. --was way cheaper used than a Tacoma or Frontier --some parts have been easy & cheap to fix myself, including struts, sensors, some wiring, oil changes, air filters, fluids. --Solid 4x4 for general mountain roads, 6 foot bed a nice size for camping and moving most things --gas mileage is solid. With good tires and cleaned intake, I can get up to 25mpg on the highway. Cons: --interior is garbage. Most handles have broke at least once, and plastics are peeling. --some repairs are very expensive due to dumb engineering. Changing a wheel bearing for example cost me $800 bucks largely because the wheel hub requires you to take everything apart (big labor cost) -- not a ton of torque for city driving and tranny is sometime slow --some electronics and wiring are garbage. I've had to fix speakers, airbag sensors and more.
I bought a 06 Colorado 2.8 4 cyl with 259k. 5 spd. Runs strong and emeverything feels tight. Even interior didnt seem to sagg after all this mileage. Currently at 263k. Im keeping it and fixing any issues. I think it'll be worth it.
Great job. Thank you. I have a fairly rare '07 GMC single cab Canyon 2WD sport w/ 4 cyl eng, 5 speed trans, sport (factory lowered) suspension, 18" factory wheels, w/ buckets & console. I get asked to sell it all the time, but it is a fun, low slung keeper.
this vid helped me figure out what the camshaft actuator valve was I have that p0330 code and replaced my camshaft and crankshaft sensors and still had a problem with said valve leaking oil in the sensor. thank you.
I have a 2010 lx 4 door 3.7 4x4 about 100,000 miles so far. I like the truck, get about 20 mpg hiway. It's important to keep an eye on the engine oil level, and change every 3,000-5,000 miles in my opinion. Don't rely on the sensor lights to remind you. Definitely check that 3rd brake light seal, I had to use some silicone to seal it up.
I got a Chevy Colorado with $250,000 MI the only thing ever done put a water pump and it's easy to put on and put a wheel bearing but I live on bad dirt roads running through deep water but it's been a good one that's got 255 and I would be scared to go cross country own it and I love it and I'm fixing to get another one
I'm not far from buffalo NY , my 04 248 k miles 2nd motor is slowly dying due to ruff winters n salt on the roads . The frame is pretty rotten , the mech wouldn't put it on the rack to align it . Bolts are snapping off , the suspension is being replaced to no avail . I love this truck , please don't die !
At my work (a moderately sized theme park) we use old 2006 Colorados as work trucks and they have very low mileage like 30 thousand but are really beaten up but they still run strong
Yes I'd buy one, and am currently searching for a four door model from the '11 or '12 model year. Have already decided that if I'm lucky enough to find one ... treat it like a '57 and do the restore job on it. I'm looking for a daily driver not a garage queen. It's a cry'in shame that today "No One" is really building anything I want to buy ... and you have to basically go back a half generation to get a vehicle you can actually love. A Colorado like the '11 model, and a '04 Astro I'd love to have two brand new ones sitting in my garage right now ... anyone at GM listening ?
I drive a 2011 Canyon 4x4 and it's had many of the common issues you list here. The blower motor was very annoying but not terribly difficult or expensive to replace. You didn't mention the most annoying drawback of these trucks in my opinion, which is the awful passlock failure. At least once a week I am unable to start the vehicle and have to wait 10 minutes for it to clear the passlock error.
I'm on my 2nd 2010 colorado after Bambi totaled my first one. They both have been excellent trucks! Both were used when I bought them. My wife would rather drive it than her car!
I have 2010 ext cab. I love it. I also had the 07 single cab which I could not stand, thank God someone ran their stop sign and destroyed it 😅 I used the money to get my 2010.
When I was ready to replace my battery I wanted an Optima Battery. For those unaware, Optima does not make a group 86 series battery. Being said, the 86 series is 1” skinnier that the 34 series. 34 is a super common battery. If you want to upgrade your battery, I suggest pulling you battery tray out and cutting part of the angled siding on the inside. It just acts as structural support. I used a Dremel tool to make the clearance. If you end up getting the larger battery, and want an Optima; you will need additional work to be done. The optima is a group 34/78 DT (double terminal) meaning it is also a 78 series battery. The difference between the two is the 34 is top post, the 78 is side post. For some reason they made the side terminals pushed the the center more, and this lines perfectly up with a bracket that connects to a strap to hold your battery down. This being metal- we have an issue. I ended up cutting 2 corners of a circle that way I don’t fry my battery by having the front side terminals both touch a metal bracket. A little unsightly, but you can always make the cut cleaner and look better. Overall if you want a bigger battery, 34 is my suggestion. Much stronger, more common, and waste less space.
I own a 2011 Reg cab LT 2.9L, 5 speed 4x4. Mine has 25,500 miles on it. I would have 19022 on it had two getto boys not stolen my car making me drive my Colorado instead. I am worried about future work on : Alternator and Starter. I heard that they are hard to remove. Is your truck from the South or Rust belt?
I have a 2004 standard cab Canyon with the 3.5 and auto trans with the Z/71 SLE off road package 4x4 with only 95,000 miles. I ordered it from the factory because early 2004 standard cabs were hard to find optioned he way I wanted. The newer ones (current) look like crap!
I'll be looking for a reg. cab model to swap the 5.3 engine from my Envoy XL into. They never put the V8s in the reg cabs, and the colorado 5.3s were neutered with 'torque-management' software and fuel efficient axle-ratio. The result was a slower truck than what this legendary LS V8 was capable of. My 1500lb heavier Envoy XL also did 0-60 in 6.7sec (when stock), lighter Colorado should be quicker than that. I want reg cab to be as light as possible, and swap my 5.3, 4L60e transmission, AND 4.10axle ratio into a reg. cab for a great sport truck that's capable of some work. Preferably in that yellow and with the 'Extreme' appearance pkg. Likely won't get that lucky, so I'd settle for any reg. cab that's not all rusted out like my Envoy frame. Wonder if I can swap that 2.8 4banger into my Hyundai Accent?😁
I have a 07 canyon 3thrd brake light leaked. Tail gate and glove box latch broke it goes in to anti theft mode have to wait 5 min to start. Other than that it's been good 105 ooo miles.
Mine done that anti theft cut off done that to me ,, look up the truck problem and cutting the white wire with blue stripe I followed his instructions never had that problem again
I have a crew cab 07 clean condition with 160xxx miles lowerd on Denali 20 in rims with nitto tires also have monitors in it has a spacer and intake whistles like a turbo without flooring it line x bed and tinted all around super clean only issue I have is electrical dooor switch flicker for the first 10 min of driving idk what it could be
I just had that code it turned into the valve in number 4 breaking free and falling onto the piston so beware if it ever misfires. Also this engine cost 4500 through jasper engines good luck trying to find one elsewhere
There is an identical twin to the yellow colorado on the thumbnail right near me at a dealer I keep staring at. I'm not even a yellow fan but I want it
Yes and no. If you can get your hands on a 4J diesel, you'll need the transmission and ECU. You'll need a custom driveshaft, and you'll have to weld new engine and transmission mounts. The GMT-355 is different from the international D-MAX frame. It's "based on," not a replica.
I have a 2008 gmc canyon SLE 5 speed 2wd black truck black interior, came with a 2.9 4cyl, swapped a 2008 5.3 LS Into it and it it the best truck ever! Still 5 speed. too much fun and turns heads in my town!
Yep, I agree with that one, way to many cheap plastic parts that breaks easily and the electronics going out and mailfunctioning can be a pain in the ass too. I haven't had many other issues besides the throttle body being clogged. Also, the security system is really shitty, it will lock you out from starting the vehicle at times.
The 4x4 version of these trucks had the worst Front Brake Design ever- TOTAL NIGHTMARE! To remove the rotors they actually come off backwards, you have to remove several components.... look it up its absurd
It's annoying to fish out the abs sensor with the rotor, but it's not a big deal. Being attached to the hub does come with better stability though. There are certainly some awkward repairs though such as the starter location.

I have a crew cab 07 clean condition with 160xxx miles lowerd on Denali 20 in rims with nitto tires also have monitors in it has a spacer and intake whistles like a turbo without flooring it line x bed and tinted all around super clean only issue I have is electrical dooor switch flicker for the first 10 min of driving idk what it could be
I just had that code it turned into the valve in number 4 breaking free and falling onto the piston so beware if it ever misfires. Also this engine cost 4500 through jasper engines good luck trying to find one elsewhere
Copart has wrecked ones for cheap!
Funny to get a Ford ad to watch a Chevy video :)
What about the 5.3 vortec option?
Can confirm that third brake light is an issue
Do you have any info on 2015 Colorados ?
The truck honestly has easy jobs besides the transmission leaks, even then it just takes some elbow grease and a few days. Without the proper lift
The complaints on the interior is exactly why i like my 09. Feels like driving a 99
So does the 2007 3.7L i5 a better option than the 3.5L i5 that had the valve seats issues? Or does it also have that same issue?
I've got p0171 and p0466. gonna hopefully fix the p0171 soon if I can find the cause.
I have a rwd stick shift single cab 4 cylinder. I want to do a LS swap but thats a bit pricey
There is an identical twin to the yellow colorado on the thumbnail right near me at a dealer I keep staring at. I'm not even a yellow fan but I want it
Great job
So are all after market parts and accessories interchangeable?
Where can I buy parts for my colorado
I have an '04 Canyon 3.5L it with a bit of a jittery idle. Is that the actuator valve?
Valve is a possibility, but a dirty throttle body and/or MAF is the more likely culprit.
Good video
Gmc holds it's value
Can we swap this engine with the engine of the isuzu d-max?is it the same platform?
Is it a yes or a no ?
Yes and no. If you can get your hands on a 4J diesel, you'll need the transmission and ECU. You'll need a custom driveshaft, and you'll have to weld new engine and transmission mounts.
The GMT-355 is different from the international D-MAX frame. It's "based on," not a replica.
What kind truck is that one at 2:39 mark yellow truck?
That’s a Colorado Xtreme
mine has 5 cyl.
Man I can’t Find a 5 speed with black interior anywhere. I want one so bad. There’s one in Ohio but that means rust 🤦🏻♂️
I have a 2008 gmc canyon SLE 5 speed 2wd black truck black interior, came with a 2.9 4cyl, swapped a 2008 5.3 LS Into it and it it the best truck ever! Still 5 speed. too much fun and turns heads in my town!
@@liaml7199 wanna sell it? Lol
I never had a door handle to break if my grandbaby ain't broke it yet she snatched it on it I ain't never had none of them problems I got $250,000
No
Next question.
A Canyon maybe, but a Colorado No way. The 3.7 I5 Canyon and the 5.3 V8 special edition Canyon are supposedly the only 2 reliable engines.
They made these trucks too cheaply
you obviously don't own one then, they are great
@@j0sh368 I have a 96 Chevy S10 though
4.3 v6
I have an 09 5.3 crew cab and it’s made cheap asf it’s a solid truck though but they cheaped out on everything
@@j0sh368 I own one and I do not think so.
Yep, I agree with that one, way to many cheap plastic parts that breaks easily and the electronics going out and mailfunctioning can be a pain in the ass too. I haven't had many other issues besides the throttle body being clogged.
Also, the security system is really shitty, it will lock you out from starting the vehicle at times.
I wouldn't trade my isuzu i290 for the world...
Debbie downer here has owned two Colorados over the last 10 years. Google passlock or pass key issues. this will drive you insane.
The 4x4 version of these trucks had the worst Front Brake Design ever- TOTAL NIGHTMARE!
To remove the rotors they actually come off backwards, you have to remove several components.... look it up its absurd
Hi, I own several Isuzus. The design is very rugged. I've been on nasty terrain in the 2WD model and had no problems bringing the truck to a stop.
It's annoying to fish out the abs sensor with the rotor, but it's not a big deal. Being attached to the hub does come with better stability though. There are certainly some awkward repairs though such as the starter location.
I have 12 canyon. These trucks are junk
You must have an automatic.
@@der_pinguin44 I got a 5.3 Colorado that I'm bout to do a manual swap on soon ..eliminating every issue with these trucks 👌👌
Don’t buy a 3.7 engines totally suck!
Definitely not
