I'm thinking three motors... The 3.0 V6 diesel, 2.7L ecoboost, and maybe the 3.5 non-turbo V6. I really really really hope it gets the aussie 3.2 diesel but I doubt it since they're already putting the JLR Ingenium 3.0 V6 diesel in the F150.

Yup. Common problem. I blew my canister out with air and the issue went away, replaced the EVAP solenoid on the intake manifold for a CEL and still had one for the solenoid at the fuel tank (which was already relocated previously due to a TSB), so I bought new hose and a new solenoid but the CEL...

lol. You know Chevy hit a home run when people are comparing it to AEV JK Rubicons on 37s. I haven't bought one, I'll just keep dreaming about it.

They're a strong limited slip. I have 33s on my 1500, and it definitely does work. It isn't an ARB but it gets both wheels spinning which is all I need it to do.

I like your sleeping platform idea. Nice build so far, simple and gets it done.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. all the feels.

Yea, the Toyota fanboy-ism is silly to me. Chevy built the truck everyone wanted, who cares what marque is on the front? The Colorado is great. And yea, I know :( Agreed. I know you can get fullsizes for way under sticker, but the fact that a '17 Silverado V6 4x4 has a MSRP of just under $30k...

holy ****. Chevy released LITERALLY the exact truck everyone and their mother has been begging toyota to make for YEARS and it's too expensive plush and fluffy. Oh, sorry you can't row your own, I can't hear you crying over the sound of the 4 cylinder diesel and front and rear lockers. I wish I...

I've smashed frame mounted sliders enough that they moved up into the body. The ones on this truck are for occasional "whoops" moments, not for slamming the weight of the truck down onto and pivoting around; and that's all you need TBH. Anyone doing more hardcore stuff will build their own...

Man, I want one of these. It ticks all the boxes.

Looks like Jalopnik has one or two

The huge knuckles, I'm assuming.

Yes it can. I looked at these for a while, couldn't find a good one in my price range. Check for the normal Chevy rust; under the door sills, brake lines, etc.

I'd never re-gear the factory rear end. If it ever goes that route, straight to 35s and a rear axle swap with a real locker and coilovers up front. No reason to putz around in the middle... Either KISS or go straight to stupid.

Yea, I looked at two CCSB trucks (one Z71 and one not) and both had 3.42 gears as well. Seems like all the SUV Z71s got 3.73s while most of the non-HD trucks got the highway gear. Weird.

Yes, thanks! I've found a few threads on working the 'old steering shaft... lol

After looking at Tundras, 4Runners, LC100s, GX470s, Tahoes, Burbs, Avalanches.... All overpriced, junk, rusted, etc; I finally found a great deal on a truck- my father-in-law's 05 Z71 ECSB Silverado. Although, I think bringing him along to dealers seeing all those shiny new trucks is what made...

How's the driving position compared to the fullsizes and D1 feel in every day driving? I've sat in the Colorado, but haven't driven it. I agree the 2nd gen Tacoma (haven't been in a 3rd yet) and full-size Chevys just sit too "low" for me.. and I'm 6'. I don't think anything can really compare to...

The ZR2 dmax has me all hot and bothered. The price is a bit insane but who knows how dealers will sell them since they aren't even available yet. The short bed sucks since it would be nice to pull up and camp in the bed, but I'd rather deal with that a couple times a year than deal with a much...

I feel like most new vehicles have this problem. They bloat the body from the bottom of the door to the roof, but they make the windows smaller. :squint: The big pillars suck too, I assume its all for crash testing and whatever. 4 banger would be a good option, but if I'm making a payment I'm...
