It probably is using the door wire harness from the LaCrosse, the headlight wire harness from the Aveo, the Transmission seals from the full size, and ignition from the Cobalt/Camaro, etc :lol:

General Motors announced Thursday that it was on schedule to begin production of the new mid-size Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups in Wentzville this fall. This came after the arrival of 5.7 million pounds of stamping press components to its assembly plant.

 

When completed, the new press in Wentzville will produce about 50 different steel body panels and can produce as many as 3,000 parts in an eight-hour shift. The new stamping press will be operational in early 2015, giving the plant increased production capability and more flexibility to produce different vehicles, said Dave Baldridge, the plant’s communications manager.

 

GM will continue to produce the heavy duty Express and Savana vans, Baldridge said, but will discontinue manufacturing of the light-duty versions of those vans sometime in July because of a lack of demand.

GM said in a news release that building the trucks in Wentzville preserved and created 1,260 jobs at the plant. The steel stamping facility expansion will add 55 new jobs to that number. In total, the plant employs 2,400 workers.

There is a picture floating around the internet with a vehicle hauler - trailer - with all new Chevrolets and on that trailer was one new Colorado.

 

Not sure of the validity of that picture.

it was the DRL Module that went south on the 2004-2008s, the 2009-2011s (mine is a 2010!) are pretty much UNTOUCHED by the Recent Rash of Recalls (Knocks on Wood)

Maybe it's because I'm in Michigan, but I've seen a bunch of em around. Just yesterday saw a crew cab full of kayaks and camping gear. Parked next to an extended cab a few months ago in my silverado... still a small truck. Jmo

Still seeing them. Helps I'm in Michigan right near proving grounds. Hell I see the AU version of the Trailblazer on occasion and first spotted the Colorado almost 2 years ago.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
