    I guess you would’ve had to buy one of these new when they first came out in order to get one, because I’ve been looking for days for a used one and never see them for sale, just the 4 cylinders, 5 cylinders, and V6s. The V8 Colorado’s are like finding a single needle in a field of multiple haystacks.

    I just bought a 2006 Chevy Colorado Z 71 yesterday. I really like the truck, but I have not used it enough yet to find these issues. However, on my way home, it died on me one time. I tried to turn it on a couple times it wouldn’t start and then I tried again a few minutes later and then it started. Thankfully, I made it home. But today I’m going to go in and out of the truck and see, the status of everything. If you have any more information about this, I’d appreciate it and thank you so much for your time and information.

    That rib you cut is a very common cracking point on the zf5, but I believe they only crack because the transfer case is hanging off the back unsupported. I think you’ll be fine since you’re adding a separate TC support.

    Do the V8s on the Colorados have AFM/DFM like they do on the Silverados?

    • @RSAW73
      @RSAW73 Před 7 měsíci

      No they don't have AFM. The newer LH9 has VVT, which is reliable and can easily be deleted, if necessary. Still made 300HP/320TQ with VVT, but lost 5 ft/lbs of peak torque as they added valve reliefs in the pistons for VVT, so the engine lost almost .5 point of compression and strangely kept the same cam. Looking for one of these little beasts myself.
