@Noah Smith will do!
have been watching your channel for quite long, u are amazingggggggggggggggggg, love from India
Can't or won't?
@@scottykilmer Love your channel. Why did you move from Texas to Tennessee? I love both of the states/
Man. The things got 200k miles. The thing is still running. Ride til it dies.
Have pretty much the same problem. BUT the the olde lady wants me to get rid of it to buy something else. Some thing that she likes. The something is not a truck.
My 98 f150 has 348000 miles
already posted this but it's most likely the o-ring on the line that wore out. Dropping the tank on these isn't necessary, you can also remove the bed but really it's not a big deal. I've done dozens of these
@akjohnny The old envoy is going to be in the driveway until can't be fixed any more. It is not a truck but I use it like one. For sand and gravel just use a trailer. Sheets of plywood no problem. 200,000 + miles of use.
If she want a new purse hauler she can go buy one.
That won't happen because she likes her shoes and new outfits to match.
She pretty much still lives like a teenager at daddy's house with her own job. My sister could not handle taking on a man's place either. She only made partial house payments for 4 years. Then she found Mr. bill payer, just like many single moms.
Got one with 217k miles and it still runs like a champ.
If a car or truck lasts 200,000 miles with the same engine and transmission that's a good car to me.
Interestingly , good point,,,,, I am at 139,000 mi .on my 2007 GMC CANYON 2DE/:::::: some repairs uncommonly expensive( e.g front disc Brakes)
@@opera93 I had a 2.7L 2009 Colorado that I sold with 175k miles, no major repairs.
I recently bought an 05 Colorado, 180K miles, 5 speed. No major repairs needed or ever done. Runs amazing. Pretty good truck if you ask me.
I have 297000 miles on my 04 accord! Original 2.4 k24a engine with the original transmission plus clutch! No engine lights and I’m hoping to hit 500 thousand with very few repairs
It’s a 5 speed manual transmission btw
Came here from another scotty kilmer video
Same
Same here lol anyone know anything about Chevy Trax??? Like any issues with them?? They're a very interesting vehicle!!
Always
@Biggest Richard Cranium I'll have to check one out, Just bought the Chevy Trax & it's just how it's put together that's interesting to me, how high it sits but the motors in them are very very LOW, it's a 4cyl with a turbo too.. it's a 2016 saves on gas pretty good.. Im just looking for some input & some options lol, I appreciate your advice 🤘
Nice
Scotty: I cannot fix the Chevy Colorado. And why would I want to?!
@@midcenturymodern9330 no it's not a 15 year old s10 is worth more then this thing and there's many reasons why

Yup gm ain't that bad you have to pick and choose the best one I don't care for toyota at all 😂
Toyota Pays him
It's about time someone points this out.
Did you even watch the rest of this vid? There are other faults.
Plus it only has 194,026 miles on it, what a piece of crap, lol, still runs fine, what in the world do expect, it's still been a pretty good truck, if you ask me.
Install some black electrical tape over the Check Engine and ABS light to keep them from annoying you.
Hahaha.
Or take the abs bulb out.
@@GO-cz7cl most vehicles in the last 20 years have a small led light built into the instrument cluster for ABS. The same with annoying seatbelt, turn signal, and door buzzers. All built into the cluster. The days of changing out flasher units and bulbs in the clusters are long gone.
Any GM 2-3 yrs old today has warning lights lite up like New Yrs in Times Square! The 60`s was the high water mark for good GM vehicles
Wont work, it shows up on the dash screen too in text lol
Before you drop a fuel tank on a pickup, consider unbolting then lifting the bed. It can give you access to the pump without the hassle of dropping the tank. You normally don't even have to remove the bed, just jack it up a foot or two on one side to give yourself room to work on the pump.

Thanks for being one of the few people out there that are honest and keep the customer in mind. Guys like you are hard to find in this day and age.
GM should use the slogan “who cares” in their advertising.
Most people don’t need Christmas lights, because their car is already lit up with lights!
Well not everyone, but when the budget is low.....
Lmao my brother is autistic. He loves Christmas lights. Some of the biggest laughs he has are when his staff tell him their car has had trouble, the check engine light came on and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree 😆
Been driving my B3000 like that for 10 years now. It’s 20 years old and still driving strong.
Na, I fix my stuff. A lot of the time its some cheap sensor that gave up the ghost.

psh, if ya knew Colorado’s you’d know that they can overheat standing still 😂
Never drop the gas tank on a truck,Remove the bed!!,done it by myself,(was a small truck)
That's what I was thinking, but that means you still gotta pull up the bed liner....
Those of us with spray in bed liners are not going to do that.
You guys realize that beds bolt in from the underneath not the inside of the bed right.....
@@wantedformoney12 I know, but, I don't want the top bolts cracking loose my liner after the nuts are off. When you lifting the bed on/off those bolts are going to bump the frame which might crack the liner around the bolts on the top.
@@wantedformoney12 Depends on the truck. My ranger has big torque bolts in the bed itself.
I have 2004 gmc canyon with 265k miles. Best gm product i have ever owned. Have had few problems but not too bad. Great truck.
I've owned since brand new a 2009 Colorado equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. It now has 90,000 miles on it. Other than the rear shock absorbers and a sun visor, the vehicle has never required any repairs--Only routine maintainence. It runs perfectly, no rattles, and the air conditioning blows mounds of cold air, which is very important here in the hot state of Florida. It has been well over a year since the truck has even been in the repair shop. I change the oil myself. No complaints whatsoever!
Good! I've got a 04 manual trans up north in NY, rusty and trusty. Very reliable.
@@tacomas9602 I’mma get a 04 from my dad soon , how many miles and yours have and is it still holdin?
@@Chino2k3 well my 04 has 165,000 miles and I know I've needed to do two front wheel bearings and an alternator since I've owned it. I've owned it since 124,000 so there's a good idea of what parts you'd expect to fail. It's been a good truck but the frame rust up here in New York has absolutely destroyed it really I mean I've patched it up as I'm a welder but I'm going to be honest they rust out. If you could find a nice two-wheel drive extended cab or something with a stick shift for under three grand that will pass inspection I think that would make you happy. As long as you take care of it and don't buy an absolute pile of junk from the get-go you should be good
Love your videos! I have an 06 chevy colorado extended cab and a slightly different code (P0446) popped up one day. I had to replace the fuel pressure sensor on the gas tank. Was a relatively simple and cheap fix for $15 and 20 minutes. The fuel tank pressure sensor is mounted on the top of the pump module on the top side of the gas tank. It can be accessed, without dropping the tank, on a Std Cab or Ext Cab. You have to take the back driver side tire off and remove the wheel well skirting then you can see the top of the tank and the pump module and might have shown exactly where the leak is.
15 years old with almost 200k on it and it runs perfectly fine,doesn’t sound like such a bad vehicle to me.
I like you Scotty but I think your a little harsh on GM sometimes.
I’ve had more issues with my Kia,Honda and yes Toyota products than Gm Products.
My Toyota Solara had faulty brakes, almost killed in it. Traded it in after 6 months of Toyota denying anything was wrong.
That's what drives me crazy about Scotty! If this were a Tacoma or hell even a Ford Ranger, he'd say it was normal wear and tear for that age and mileage.

Lol, just watched the video were he raves about the same truck being a great $3,000 truck.
I was able to get my ABS working on my '03 Buick by splicing the cables to the wheel sensors with replacement I found online.
The flexing section gets brittle and cracks.
Back in 2006 I wanted one of these but I couldn’t afford it. I got a Corolla instead. I still have my Corolla. 200,000 miles and running fine
A lot of money to get that Colorado to make it to 200.
It has nearly 200k miles, small things are going to happen and thats fact, id say its doing pretty good for the mileage and probably has alot more miles left.
I have a 2007 chevy colorado with 209,000 miles. That should be an easy fix. I think I even took it out by accedent to replace the evap canister purge valve which I didn't have to do. Good little truck.
Bravo! I miss these higher quality videos that truly educate. Thank You!
I found you by accident. I wondered why you had so many followers. But you are hilarious and informative. I am addicted. lol
Scotty, Thank you very much for this one Sir. This really hit home for me as an unfortunate owner that has little by little found all of this out myself.
You cannot speak enough about the piss poor GM quality. Thank you.
Now watch his video where he tells you what a great truck this is.
Dropping the tank for that you might as well replace the fuel pump too.
take off the truck bed. i found that method to be wayyyyy easier. truck bed is lighter than it looks
@@taylorfamily4685 yup they're very very light
@@tacomas9602 I love little pickups like that. So easy to work on. Well most of the time. Beats replacing every tiny thing on a Chrysler lol.
The highest miles on an original 2.8 online four for a colorado was 545k. It was on its second transmission.

Hey. It's pretty funny to hear that
I recently bought that scan tool. And FYI everyone Innova makes the scan tools for Harbor Freight for the same money as their ZR-15 $299.00 you can get this 5610 with more features. Just a hint not knocking HF just some food for thought.
This has nothing to do with this video, but our 2012 Highlander is at the body shop for repairs after a collision (other person's fault!) and the rental we got is a 2021 Ford Edge SUV with all
the bells and whistles. After driving a Ford for 3 days I'd much rather have an 8 year old Toyota Highlander than a brand new Ford anything. This vehicle will be in the junk yard while our
Highlander will be giving us great service for years to come. Just an observation.
Same thing would happen in my ‘03 Silverado. Once I figured out what you explained about the gas tank I just ignored it and ran it before I parked it after nearly 300,000 miles on the odometer.
Everyone right now should be watching his videos

@@dalegribble3684 ur opinion.
@@dalegribble3684 fact !
I have to say, I have a 2006 colorado crew cab. Pretty sure I have this same issue, but the bigger issue really is that it’s a piece of junk. I had to fix stupid little things multiple times. I still have the truck, but it doesn’t run (blown head gasket), and I won’t ever buy another GM product. Sadly, I bought the truck brand new. I may not like the looks of the Tacomas/Tundras much, but you can’t beat Toyota reliability. When I get another truck, it will be a Toyota.
I salute you,Mr. Kilmer,for staying up-to-date with the new car technology ! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, experience,and wonderful sense of humor.🌞

Scotty: "I can't fix this Chevy Colorado."
Me: "Not surprised."
if u cant fix a GM product i think its time to hang up the wrench... easiest vehicles to fix every mechanic knows that, i wouldnt be surprised if youre some 10 year old “car expert” lmfao
@@dommartelli5529 Uh, I wasn't agreeing with Scotty. I drive a GMC truck for just that reason. "I wouldn't be surprised if you're some" jackoff looking for trouble everywhere you go.
@@tedunguent156 yeah. You're right
@@dommartelli5529 Uh, I wasn't talking about me, was I? I was talking about Scotty. I know more about cars and engineering than you ever will, child. I was a machinist mate in the US Navy, a mechanic (non-auto) and an electronics technician for decades. My cousin and uncle had a garage for forty years and I spent a lot of time there. Scotty is just another RUclips blowhard with his own opinions. He amuses you so you think he's great. He knows how to fix cars but he exaggerates the differences between the best and the worst brands. I drive a 2000 GMC pickup precisely because it is cheap and easy to fix. Go back to your cartoons, sonny.
@@tedunguent156 ps: correct… probably…
15 years old and has 194k miles on it and Scotty says it is poor quality. Any vehicle that lasts 200k and is 15 years old or older is pretty damn good IMO:P
The headline says "can't" but in reality he and the customer chose not to go through the expense of fixing it, I'm sure he could fix it if he wanted to.
I don't think so, he thinks he has to drop the tank to change the evap cannister when he looked right at it above the spare tire....
@@wantedformoney12 are you saying that it’s not possible to drop the tank? Or he could raise the truck bed a little to get access to the vent valve.
Not a whole lot of expense though (as a DIYer I've done both. No clue what Scotty charges though. Cost me under $300 total to fix both.)

Literally saw a Toyota truck driving down the road backfiring and piping for miles yesterday. Sorry but GM has its issues but problems occur bin every make and model
I mean...i just put a piece of wood on a jack and lower the jack slowly. Easiest way to drop the tank.
Same here, it's easy as hell as long as you run or pump the gas out.
Hey Scotty replace his hubs and rotors for him lol you’ll love that
No joke it's a pain in the bottom end🤣🤬🤯
Scotty thanks for answering my question about the 2009 vibe GT. New York City is not what it once was I may be joining you in Tennessee!
I got a 95 gmc Sierra with the 454 231,200 miles No lights on in the dash. My first truck and love it.
I think prior to 2002 GM had good quality, after that....”meh”....
@@ThunderStruck94660 ehh. Just don’t buy anything gm that has a small engine. I’ve only owned v8 gm products and haven’t had an issue.
@@johnwilkins6871 I think that is a good point. Any vehicle I have had that has V-8 is bulletproof.
@@ThunderStruck94660 yeah gm should stick to v8’s.
@@johnwilkins6871 what do you think about the Triton V-8 from Ford? I have a 2012 Expedition EL that I bought straight from the factory that now has 103,000 on it. So far no problems.
On my 2002 Silverado the problem was the plastic filler neck. 16 years of filling it up and I cracked or wore through the plastic tubing.
Back in the 70's I drove nothing but G.M. I owned 3 Z-28's . loved driving them and it was only in summer months but every year I had to replace the fuel pump and on top of that, fuel injectors kept going out. Every time I had it fixed, the bill was over $400. I know Scotty doesn't like Chrysler but since I've owned 3 grand Cherokees. The first one was a 1999. I put over 250000 miles on it and was still running good when I sold it. 2nd was a 2005. Same thing, over 250000 and still ran good when I sold it. I'm now driving a 2016 with 6700 on it and will see how many miles I can go.
I would check the purge solenoid it's really common on gm vehicles. And on evap system's with out test ports I usually save fuel line male quick disconnect fittings to hook up to the vehicle. Scotty didn't mention anything about sealling they vent solenoid with the scan tool . That's probably why it was leaking so much above the tank .
I’m here because of a guy named “ Max Head Room.” Anyone ever heard of him?
He designed car interiors.

I HAVE A 2009 COLORADO when I saw this video I already had a smile on my face 😅 here we go!! 🧡 Scotty
It's better to pull the bed, also gives you a chance to treat the frame for rust or just hose it down with fluid film. Worked great on my '06.
Hate to say it, but that was a clean Colorado for that age.
A very very nice truck at that
The timing chains on those are also a nightmare... its behind the motor so you have to take the engine out if you ever had to replace a chain
After 40 years drivin Chevys I never had to replace timing chain on any o them
Go figure
The timing chain is on the front of the engine.... There is a balance chain on the rear that never really has to be changed....
Seems like not only does scotty have no clue his fans don't either go figure 🙄🙄
Hey Scott I didn't these repairs myself and found it much easier to remove the bed to do the work.. fuel pump and other repairs were a breeze with the bed removed.
Make the time and fix it now before other problems are created. Especially the ABS issues. They could just need to be cleaned. Fix it right the first time. Scotty, did you bring the cat with you to Tennessee? Really like those tuxedo cats. Bring back the cat!
The ABS system could be the difference between close call or bad day. I agree Glen 💯 it should be repaired. Great name by the way and spelled correctly with one N. 😉
Hey Scotty, you should make another intro video of "Rev Up Your Engines!" Now that you are in Tennessee!!! 🏎️🏎️🏎️
Big truck this time. ;)
I Agree!
And also about that popping out of the celica at the end but what isn't broke needs no fix 🤷♂️
Yeah, I'd like to see the '94 Celica with its Tennessee plates ...
I am a new driver. I figured I'd learn as much as I can from an honest mechanic
Thanks for explaining how to diagnose an evaporator leak.
My dad had a 2005 4 cylinder Colorado and he bought it with 20k miles and when he sold it, it had close to 300k miles. All he ever did was basic maintenance
I am 76 year old lady from Mn añd I bought a 2004 5 cylinder Chevy Colorado and I absolutely love it.Been back to Mesa 3 times with it and it runs perfect and still looks like new.I put nubby tires on and throw 6 sand bags in the back and never got stuck once in the snow .Love it!

Hey this aint the 1960 presidential debate lol
I love how he said the gas cap has been replaced but it shows a non oem style lockable gas cap which our notorious for still not providing the right properties.
Loosen all bed bolts, remove the ones on filler side, lift and support, easy access to pump etc without dropping tank
Been a while that it's been cold enough to cause you a Scotty snotty bubble? Lol. Plus is you get to finally get to wear your 1985 jean jacket, I have 3 of them too. Lol
An old trick I learned from my dad, when you want to test drive the car, trade keys. In my case my keys included my vehicle and a nice big comfy house. That usually calms the owners nerves. As a viewer from California. Be extremely grateful when you don’t have to get your car inspected. I’ve had to let go of perfectly good cars for stupid inspection failures.
I took my wife’s car in for inspection. (She was in Air Force, car still registered in her home state). I found out why there is a solid glass barrier between you, your car they are abusing. I didn’t believe how they abused the cars. Manual transmission. While I don’t know the rpm of course. I have never heard that high a rpm. In lower gear as it bounced off the end of the roller repeatedly.
The home state was changed before next inspection.
MN they did random to prove we needed inspection. It was discovered they falsified failure data to prove it was needed. But every 4-6 yrs they try to sneak it in.
Thanks for posting Scotty. Good stuff.
To access the top of the fuel tank, you don't need to drop the tank on the pickups, only on the SUVs. You do have to lift the bed.
You would think a 50 year genius mechanic would be able to figure that out,lol
Scotty. Every county that touches Davidson county... except for Cheatham county has to pass emissions tests.
Gotta love Cheatham county!
Scotty..my 2002 S10 has that "Green Test Cap" for the Evaporator System..Did GM get Lazy or Cheap in these Colorado's?
Yes they did. The S10's were much better trucks than the Colorado's
@@brensdaman926 250,000 miles and still runs like the day I drove it off the dealership in 2002 I'll never get rid of my S10 Sport 2.2 liter..👍
@@brensdaman926 I had an S-10 (2000) then a Colorado (2008). The Colorado was a better vehicle, felt more solid and planted on the road and had more power and just felt nicer overall. I can't speak to the the long-term reliability because mine got totalled a few years in. But the S-10 wasn't exactly bulletproof either. Mine had plenty of issues, including a fuel filter that clogged way more than it should have, an electrical problem that caused the right side headlight to blink along with the turn signal. The rearview mirror would pretty regularly fall off the windshield, the dashboard plastic was cracked and disintegrated by the time it was 7-8 years old and the valves rattled pretty much from the time it was almost new. And the bow-tie Chevy logo fell off the grille the first time I washed it. I wouldn't say it was a "bad" vehicle by any means, it lasted me 8 years with pretty low cost of maintenance but I've owned Scion/Toyota/Nissan/Subaru since then and it was the "worst" out of all of them, if I had to pick a last place - and the Colorado would be ahead of it, too.

Hey Scotty, I failed California emissions test on my 94 K1500 because I was using a STANT locking gas cap and it wasn't completely sealing. It fit but I guess it just didn't seal as well. Had to get a non locking replacment that fit better in order to pass.
Scotty Kilmer is the best mechanic in the World
Yes indeed
Of course

He's the bee's knees of mechanics
Well just like the ole saying if its not broke don't fix it . There's another saying. If scotty can't fix it then it can't be fixed lol 😎
Anything made by man can be fixed. Cost may become an obstacle.
Finally I found the Real Goku
That bad huh?
Scotty is too lazy to fix this one. The cannister isn't on top of the tank you literally see it right above the spare tire. Abs light is probably just from an abs sensor that is really easy to do on these 2wd colorados.

Scotty is too rational and too honest to waste the customer's money on a needless repair of this brilliantly designed and impeccably manufactured GM product.
I am still driving my 2006 Colorado 3.5 Inline 5 w/260k miles . Have been changing the oil about every 5k miles, no major problems. I have changed the alternator, batteries, spark plugs, one coil, planning on changing the remaining 4 coils, changed out the head gasket not that it needed it but one of the value stem gaskets went bad but that was after 200k miles so I replaced the whole set, other than that still running, great little truck IMO. Nothing last forever but they sure don’t build them like they use tool
That’s what that green cap is there for, I have that on my 04 ford ranger I was curious what that was for

Poor quality of GM:
Shows the GREAT quality of the new scan tool😂
With almost 200k miles.....and it's in great shape....obviously a well built vehicle
Scotty really needs a lift. He too darn old to be crawling on the ground, especially during the winter in Tennessee.
He said in an older video that he's trying to stay active, and that he's too cheap to buy a lift.
Use it or lose it. He can still do it and would probably rather do it to keep him active.
I have an 05 here in 23 and it's been one of the more reliable rigs I've ever owned. it has begrudgingly earned my respect, I never wanted to like , but I do. It's a 2wd crew cab I5 and it serves me faithfully. It doesn't do that well at the gas pump but does everything else pretty well. 115k and zero rust. I got three c compliments on it just this week. Shrug, with prices the way they are I'll be driving this awhile before I can afford a newer Tacoma SR 4x4
Thanks! scotty, I will be moving to Tennessee; because of no emissions testing.
Working on a 2009 colorado right now, same code hahaha
Did the ring that connects the pump to the gas tank rust out?
I love GM. Engine fault codes passed down from generation to generation.
Gotta Love This Guy. Nice blend of technical know how and Common Sense ...
Scotty love your videos! But hope you didn't charge for that EVAP leak diag haha...gotta force that vent valve closed before using the smoke machine ;)
The dealer sold my wife four gas caps for this code.
maybe the 5th one will fix it ???
I fixed it, I traded it in for a Toyota!
Find a new mechanic. They don't know what they are doing.
The only mechanic I’ve heard suggesting people to not repair their cars
For good reasons
If it runs good and you can get away with riding it like that, there's no reason to fix it.... some things you can get away with, but some things are a bit more serious
Sometimes you can get away with riding it like it is. But....
Once had a check engine light on my 2001 Echo. Ran if for a few years with that light on. Later on found out it was the O2 sensor. Had to take the front passenger seat out to get to the wire under the rug. Took it to a muffler shop where they just lifted the car up and took out the old sensor (it was really on tight) and put in the new one. Check engine light went off and the car started to save on gas and felt it had more pep.
It’s probably easier just to remove the bed😂😂 and I would recommend changing the fuel pump while you’re down there if your vehicle or truck has over 180,000 miles
I've had 2 front end collisions and what a difference air bags work compared to just seat belts. With the air bag no pain afterwards but with only the seat belt it felt someone hit me in the chest with a fastball. Took a couple weeks to feel pain free. I'll always fix the ABS from now on.
He deserves about 20 mil subs!!😁
Not "can't" --"won't."
I have the same tool.. very helpful, I love it
No Emissions testing in Clarksville, but in Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, and so on.
I’ll never buy another GM I have a GMC sierra the lifter went out Now needs major repairs!
What year?
"I Can't Fix This Chevy Colorado". You know what they say, you can't fix stupid!
saving the environment is pretty stupid after all \s
@@socallife890 oil self replenishes from the earth, it’s not a scarce fossil fuel-that is a hoax.
@@socallife890 Yeah because fixing one vacuum leak on one truck will save the world, maybe it will bring world peace and feed the hungry too.
I have an 05 Colorado and I never have any issues, and I love it enough to fix a problem like that if it happened.
I found it much easier to take 6 bolts out and remove the bed to access the evap canister. Two people can easily lift the bed off.
