Actually, the US version of the twins has always been a North America only product. The overseas versions including Holden are re-badged Isuzu D-max trucks, as are "Thailand-spec" Colorados. The only thing they share with the North American Colorado/Canyon is the name. Seems dumb for GM to...

Well, life gets in the way. We've been building a house coming up on two years now, and we're still not done... We never ended up going to EJS a few years ago, and so the clutch never got the attention it needed... the Comanche runs to town once in a while, and on an occasional forest...

... and if the answer to updates is that it got smashed four years ago and it's gone, just don't say anything... This truck is still the screensaver on my laptop... :) Looks like snekvasil's last visit to ExPo was March 2021... Hope life is just busy!!

FWIW, A nice universal diesel muffler sized to match the pipe is not going to harm your performance enough to even talk about, and it'll take some of the obnoxious bark out of a straight pipe setup. I personally appreciate a reasonable sound level compared to most straight pipe systems. Yes...

You'd think Rough Country would just include two 3/16" spacers and offer it for HD's too... ?? Perhaps they're worried about some foo mounting a 15k winch to it and pulling it through the front bumper... ?? Like your truck, BTW, very retro!! :)

This is sweet info!!! I'll have to order up a few gears this spring!! (Procrastination DOES pay!!! :) I haven't ridden much for the last several years, but I really need to get back on the bike. I have noticed that it's smoking a bit, so it's time to give it some love too. Might as well do...

The third picture appears to show the plastic starting to ooze out of the yoke ear on the slip end of the shaft. Those should look like the rest, not stick out like that... That is usually a sign of excessive heat. Does that U-joint feel tight or notchy? If so, replacing that u-joint would...

Actually, your front diff was moved to the side 5/16", not 5/8". The spacer has to be double the offset because they're making up the extra width on one side only. 5/16" is not enough to mess with anything. At 5/16, you added less than half a degree to the overall operating angle of both...

To be clear, if the angles you quoted were the u-joint angles, not the pinion and t-case angles, you do not have an angle problem so far as I can tell... Even Spicer's calculator torsional analysis calculator says you're good up to about 3200 driveshaft RPM, which is probably in the realm of...

Man, I really like the engineering in that Skyjacker 3" lift, so I'm sorry to hear that it's causing you issues... If I understand correctly, your u-joint angles are within 1.1° of each other, and the overall angles are not bad for a short driveshaft like the front... I would not expect much...

That's not a bad idea! Napa has 24x36" semi truck flaps for about $20 each. Easily could get two normal flaps out of one...

I put mudflaps on all of our vehicles, as we live 3 miles off the pavement on dirt roads. Definitely helps keep them cleaner!! Some have HD Buyers 11x17 rubber flaps, others have low cost RallyArmor flaps. I re-use the factory trim hardware for the most part, with an occasional screw...

As far as I know, your only option to buy RHD in the states is a Jeep of some sort... Go talk to the nearest Jeep dealership and see what they can offer. At one time, you had to actually prove you worked for the postal service to order a RHD Jeep. I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't still...

I had two ~10 gallon tanks on my old Stepside Chevy, hiding under the rear fenders. I did not have a compressor at all, but those two tanks plumbed together allowed me to air upall four tires from 15psi to a little over 25psi, IIRC. That was enough to get me down the road to the next gas...

The advice given above for standard profile truck tires is not quite applicable to your case, but the general idea still works. Unfortunately, 20" wheels on tires less than ~35" tall would be considered low profile in most circles. While airing down a low profile tire won't provide the same...

Ranch Hand isn't interested in using your truck as a mule to design a bumper that IS compatible, are they? It never hurts to ask... :) FWIW, the amount of "protection" that you get from any bumper or guard will only go so far, but it seems like the good ones do a decent job of preventing...

First, thanks for believing in airing down. It does help with traction, and keeps trail and road damage to a minimum. Here in the SW, that is just about the only way to get a decent ride over our miles and miles of washboard gravel and dirt roads... It also actually helps heal washboarded...

I second that you may find better info on a gm site... Sounds like your truck already has hydroboost, so Dave's info above is irrelevant, no offense meant to Dave. My understanding back when I was working with the as-yet un-released 2011 trucks was that the biggest change was to go with...

IMO, if they don't "fit" w/o a level, they won't truly fit with one either... A so called leveling kit doesn't prevent the tire from being anywhere it can go on a stock truck, it just raises that static ride height. (And puts your low beams in everyone's eyes because we're all evidently too...

Checking wheels for mud buildup is a great first step. Driveline issues like u-joints and bent driveshafts at 70mh would be more of a buzz (very high frequency) than "jumping up and down", which is something happening at the ~4x slower tire tire rotational frequency. As you are running...
