I seen one at track once... it was pretty quick for just having a tune...
Beware of light as they are the utmost of light when it comes to build quality/sturdiness. No one around here buys them, they're kinda like Astro vans, they may have quit making them and I wouldn't know. Not a good thing to hear from a dealer employee.
I had to drive a rental 5 cylinder Colorado for a couple months after my old Silverado got wrecked. I hated that thing. The body panels looked and felt really tinny too, like they would crumple from rubbing your hand across it. Silverado or Tahoe or bust
Back in 2008 I bought a 2009 for my Daughter and she drove it for 20,000 miles before I gave her my 2010 Black Crew Cab for graduation in May.
It was only the 5 cylinder motor, but it never gave us any issues and seemed to be an okay truck.
colorados are nice trucks...the 5cylinder has power,but now with a v8 i bet its a little monster waiting to be awaken...ide definatley get one
I had a i5 crew cab a few years ago and it was pretty quick. I like the truck just don't think I can give up mine for it.
my dad and brother both have 2008 colorodos...one a cc 4x4 5cylinder and the other a single cab 2wd 4cylinder... Never had any problems out of either one of them. Bought them new and the 2wd has 111000 miles and the 4x4 has 50000 miles. I'd say get it :)
The hard part will be giving up your truck.
I like the truck alot and it would be a good start to a killer street truck. Its nice has black leahter interior and sunroof
Definitely could be made into a nasty street truck.Quote:

get it bro ,easily be made a 3k range pound truck
The more i read about them im considering it. Ill be trading the truck in my sig if i decide to do it. Since it inly comes with a 4l60e i wonder how hard a 6l80e swap would be. What does a stock 5.3 with the mods mentioned above make(we'll say 100 shot to be safe)
take the vortech blower off and put it on the Colorado lol thing would fly.....Nelson did my 6l90 swap......well over 400+Quote:

Man I like your truck, but it weighs like 6000 lbs the way its rigged out.
I would consider it as well.
whats the diff in the 6l80 and 6l90. I didnt think the SC would work on it since its a newer 5.3 thought the ports on the heads were diff
6l80e is in the new 1/2 tons....6l90 is out of the 2500hds 3/4 tons a little beefier....and yes your blower will work on it.....same cathedral ports
Nice to know but i dont know if he would still wanna do the deal without the SC. I can always pick up a used unit from one of the forums. Got the wheels burnin now
I didn't say they were lemons, I said no one here buys them because they are flimsy.
