- Here is all that went wrong with the truck thus far. Spoiler alert its been a great truck and highly recommend it!
2nd Gen Chevy Colorado
GMC Canyon
2.5Liter
6 Speed Manual transmission
I have a similar truck with an automatic. It’s a 2016. I have had several problems. At about 25,000 miles, the heater core failed. It spent 2 months with the dealer as they had to replace carpets. Then at 65,000 miles, the oil pump failed. After several trips to the dealer, they replaced that pump. That cost was around $7,000. Other than that, I have enjoyed the truck. I have 76,000 miles after 7 years of owner ship. I figure at 100,000 miles, I will replace plugs and coil packs. Brakes are still in great shape. And I do pull several small trailers that weights under 3000 lbs.
I have the 2019 with the manual transmission. A few weeks after I bought it they quit offering the manual as demand was down to about 2%. The total truck has been good. People who got the base auto trans had problems with shuddering, bad shifts, and torque converters going bad. Manual transmissions almost always outlive the rest of the vehicle while automatics usually have problems.
As an owner of a 2019 Canyon with manual that just hit 28,000, I'm shocked with your rpm's. I guess I baby mine too much by only taking it to to about 3500 at the most all the time, not the 6300 that it is rated for . I have always been using top tier gas with it, hardly ever short tripping it, and and about 3 fuel treatments with Lucas Upper Cylinder Cleaner for GDI maintenance. May I ask what have you done for GDI maintenance? I still have about 8 month's powertrain warranty, and stealership last time really tried to get me to pay the +$300 dollar GDI cleaning for my 2.5l and I refused. Maybe I should rev it out more for GDI cleaning? Congratulations on getting a lot out of your truck and please have more updates with it.
I have done zero GDI maintenance . I do not use any adders as well.
@@DoingDaveStuff Thank You
I just got a 2018 colorado base 2.5 liter,6 speed manual...30,400 miles in silver ice metallic...love it.
Well sir I got a 2020 Toyota Hilux turbo diesel 6 speed manual with rear diff lock button 4x4 the rear is open until you hit the button where I live you need the locking rear diff most times you dont even need 4X4 a nice option indeed.
Other countries get so many cool rigs we don’t here.
@@DoingDaveStuff im in Panama Dave
I paid 20,500 brand new its not the loaded model I didnt want electronic touch screens, leather seats or automatic.
Thanks
Hey I have a 2022 2.5 love it I do wish I had the 6 speed manual but really have no issues with power. How often did you rotate your tires to get long life out of them
I never rotate them to be honest. I will get about 70-90k. The rears will wear about maybe 5k miles before the front.
Did you have to replace the water pump?
Nope. Still original
