This is 6k miles with QS ultimate durability... if you see my pic, there is hardly any metal... and very small minute particles. Engine has 7k on it.

The 5.3 is a V8 and you are going to have some metal.... bigger pieces = bigger problems.

another item i might check is the "sound" that is, you can do some vibration analysis and tell from the frequency.. like is the noise half the rpm, a quarter and so and figure out what the source is.. like a crank, a lifter, or a cam. the iphone app is named vibration analysis.

good luck.

  Talk to the service manager. Have him give you a copy of the back of the repair order with the diagnostics and all and any DTCs found.

  Those headrest speakers look fun! Standard panoramic roof on the AT4X might be a deal breaker for me unless I can delete it. Maybe I should just supercharge my truck and call it a day. We'll see what I think of all the new trucks when I see them in person.

  "Increase"? You want to "increase" your turning radius? What is your truck? What kind of cab and bed do you have currently? Is it stock? Modified? Lifted?

  OP's quote is parts and labor. Not just parts. The # you found isn't the right one. But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks. $5802.01. Now, factor in labor and fluids. Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed. At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor. We are already at $9222. Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more. Also. Your "discounted" transmission. Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site. You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges. So we are right back almost to MSRP. $5794. Oh. AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK. So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, just for the transmission, even after you get your core refunded.
