You are absolutely right. I guess this is gonna be a Pre-runner sort of thing :) . I'd like to kick somebody at GM in the nuts. I guess the posers will line up to buy these. :thumbs: A product of the current market though :D

 

Z71 (2WD and 4x4)

 

The Z71 Off-Road Suspension is highlighted by stamped A-arms and a 28mm tubular front stabilizer bar. Firmer urethane jounce bumpers are used on all Z71 models and Z85 4x4 models in place of the softer rubber bumpers used on the Z85 2WD Suspension. Both versions of this suspension have front torsion bars that helps supply performance, handling and stance. An independent front suspension helps keep the front wheels virtually straight up and down at all times for a smooth ride and precise control.

 

Other Colorado Z71 Highlights:

 

Nearly an inch higher than the Z85 model

Offered as either a 2WD or 4x4 model

P265/75R-15 on-/off-road blackwall tires (P235/75R-15 spare)

15" x 7" cast-aluminum wheels

Automatic locking rear differential

Smoke Gray wheel flares and grille surround

Front and rear chrome bumpers

Recovery hooks

Foglamps

4x4 models also have Insta-Trac 4x4, a skid shield and gas-charged, monotube shocks

Whats with GM!? I was mad because the little trucks were getting the Z71 stickers and now the little 2wd trucks will have them? I mean Z71 has been known to be a 1500 4x4 for as long as I can remember! :rolleyes:

Oh no the legacy is dead :rolleyes: the great Z71 off road performance package from off road giant GM will no longer carry the prestige it once had. Now it will be another common equipment option just like the heavy duty locking rear, the heavy duty towing package or the heavy duty rear view mirror. Marketing is everything in the business world, that and gullible consumers.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
