How Many Miles On Your Colorado/canyon?

Bowtie_Beast · September 28, 2010

I was just wondering how many miles some of you guys have on your I5 engine and how reliable has it been? (the truck itself too)

Any good/bad feedback on the trucks is welcomed. I'd be looking at a 4x4 crew cab.

I'm looking at buying used, but probably not for a couple years. I'm always getting way ahead of myself. LOL

Thanks for your feedback.

I've heard great things about those five bangers.

Bowtie - just wondering if you ever got a Colorado / Canyon. I too am considering a 4x4 Colorado as well as just a Silverado 1500 and was just wondering if you got one and how you are liking it.

2005 Canyon i5 (love that engine!) with 183,000 mi and couldn't be more reliable! Still looks good too!

What do you think about his Colorado?

I probably have the most.....

Ive had my 2005 colorado since 0 miles. It is a 3.5L crew cab ZQ8 fully decked out.

OD is at 160K.....

But....

I bet 30K of that is racing /drag strip abuse..... And the rest hard driving. Ive had 125 shot of juice since about 80K and have gone thru about 6 transmissions.... Lol rn i have a billet 4L65E supposedly good for 800HP.....we will see about that haha

Engine has been really pished hard... Revv limmiter is at 6500 and i rev it to 7K in 1st.... I beat the hell out of the motor and it just takes it. Recently it started to give me trouble.... Turns out it had a hose on the intake manifold dry rot so it had a vacuum leak... $5 fix and its as good as new!!!

My 06 Canyon 4WD SLE Crew Cab has 150K on it. Had a head oil/coolant mixing problem at 30K, but the head replacement was totally covered under a TSB. I'm now on my third power steering rack - original failed (seal leakage) at 80K, replacement failed (seal leakage) at 140K, new one installed at 145K with addition of a filter on pump return line. Hopefully I can get a decent life out of this one. Other than those problems, it's been a great truck.
