SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
Regretfully an owner of a 2004 Colorado Z71 4x4 w/ 130K. Been a Chevy fan most of my life, but more based on the days before computers got involved. I'm currently dealing with the ABS and the power window control system problems. Unbelivable how many posts on both these issues and the countless numbers that aren't even aware of this web site. Christina, Sarah, "Peggy": with the large number of folks ... Read More

Re: Check Engine light on for the AES? [gmcustsvcsarah]
Sarah, My dad bought his 2004 colorado 3.5 4x4 new from Valley Chevrolet in Wilkes-barre, PA. He has been having a misfire issue, also throwing codes. He had it to the dealer but it did not throw a code for them. It idled rough but said since no code was thrown, they could not diagnose. Truck had approx 60K on it. Now it has just over 80k and he had it ... Read More

But i'm already into this for nearly $600 for diagnosis and BCM replacement, and presumably the bill will only go up from here. Thoughts?" Yeah, pretty much, welcome to teh GM service department. I went through the same thing. Replace the BCM, it will cure the problem. Oh it didn't? You want your ... Read More

Re: Engine codes for 2004 Chevy Colorado [frahnk2]
this might work if you scroll down. The list is "generic codes" only so they might or might not be exactly what you need. If you can have your codes read say by Autozone or Oreilly for free, then we could tell you what they mean. http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/

Re: door locks and driver window [snaproll1]
RESOLVED 2004-2005 Chevrolet Colorado Drivers side window and door locks don't work After going to GM and buying the schematic for the truck. I found that the security system uses a paired key format.. Meaning the vehicle security system must be paired to an ignition key in order to link the common data bus for the BCM(Body Control Module). If the problem persists beyond this process, you will have to take ... Read More

Re: Electrical issues 2004 Colorado [den052]
That is a great post, one of the best and most informative on the problem. It makes sense and it sounds like logical troubleshooting. I wish you had posted it back in 2007 before I took the Colorado in for service to the local Chevy dealer. Of course the Chevy dealer said, "Don't believe ANYTHING you read on internet, we're the experts..." Uh-huh, yeah, right. If you still own a Colorado ... Read More

Electrical issues 2004 Colorado
I'm overwhelmed reading some of these posts. I have a 2004 Chevy Colorado with 90,000 miles. She looks great, but has begun having electrical issues. Recently I have had the blower resistor and wiring harness changed. The harness showed a burned pole like another post mentioned. That's kind of scary to me to think that there could be a potential fire under the dash. Blower works, but will occasionally stop for ... Read More

About the same time the airbag warning light came on and sometimes went off. It too was a broken harness. The clutch was replaced becuse ... Read More

Chevy Colorado Window and Lock Problems
I have the same problem as everyone else, a 2004 Colorado, with power windows and door locks working intermittently. I replaced the switch module with no change in the problem.

I'm at 69,000 and have an extended out to 75,000 ($100 deductable) so I will probably just bring it in if the deep discharge doesn't fix it.

Disconnect the battery overnight. Some claim this fixes the problem. It would make sense if there is some powered module that has tripped out with a software issue.

Re: excessive tire wear 2004 Colorado [esjrenn]
I did not even deal with GM on my tire problem. I went to a local garage to have the alignment taken care of and then I had my local garage rotate the tires. I have not had any other issues so far with the tires. But because of the wear on the inside last summer I am buying 2 new tires this spring when I pull my winters off in ... Read More

Re: Colorado valve springs [vatak]
I sort of feel bad bragging about my 2004 ext cab 4x4 I5 but I have 27000 miles on it and no problems to speak of. I changed tires first thing so I didn`t have the tire problem. I love my truck because it does everything I ask it to do. I have had many chevy trucks in the past and I like this one the the best so far. I ... Read More

Re: Rear Main Seal Leak L5 [gearhead9]
A rear main seal leak is serious and with your low miles, looks like your truck wasn't assembled correctly. My 2004 Crew 4WD has been solid (almost 28k miles in just over 2 years.) If you bought it new or as a demo from the dealer, I'd start pushing the dealer to replace it. If you bought it used, I'd start talking to the dealer and the regional manager about working ...

Isuzu Pickup
Can anyone tell me why the Isuzu truck has 7 year 75k warranty and the Chevrolet Colorado has only 3 year or 36k? I have a 2004 Colorado now but my next truck might be a Isuzu because I drive 22k a year and need the extra miles. Am I right in thinking that these are the same truck?

Re: Chevy Colorado: Prices Paid & Buying Experience
Hi, my brother just bought a 2006 Chevy Colorado Regular cab, 2WD, 5-speed manual Transmission, 2.8 liter/4-cylinder. He was telling me over the phone that the MSRP on the truck is $15,330 and the Invoice price is $16,260. when he said this, i got a very bad feeling that he got taken by the salesman. I looked over my papers from the purchase of my 2004 Silverado that i bought new ... Read More

Re: 2005 Colorado-Vibration Issue [larry25]
I have a 2004 ext. cab 4 wheel drive but I didn`t have any trouble with my tires because I swaped them off just as soon as I bought the truck. My truck is a Z 85 and it had 235/75/15 street tires on it. I needed a tire that would go thru mud so I bought a 29/9.5/15 BF Goodrich tire. I never had any vibration and so far with ... Read More

GM Accessories (Mud Flaps)
Anyone have any info on where I can buy "GM Mud Flaps" made for the 2004 Chevy Colorado. I’ve bought and returned two sets from Auto Palace and Pep Boys that both stated they fit my truck. Not the case. I want to buy the same ones the dealer would purchase but with out the markup and installation rate. Anyone.

Total Cost of Ownership
It is interesting how much people focus on "first cost" of a vehicle - look at the comments about how much more "expensive" a Tacoma is compared to the Chevy, for example. However, if you take into account the total cost of ownership over several years, you will often find that the Toyotas are actually considerably cheaper. The single biggest cost of a new car is the depreciation hit you take ... Read More

I have a 2004 chevy colorado, Z71 extended cab. I have the vibration problem. Have had it back to the dealer 4 times.

I've had my Colorado now for awhile and have approximately 2500 miles on it. In the past I have owned an S-10 ZR2, 1500 Z71 4x4, and an Avalanche Z71 4x4. My Colorado is a Z71 (NOT 4x4), Crew Cab with the 3.42 rear end. I ordered this truck with the 3.42 to get the best possible fuel economy. (I don't do any trailering.)

Test Drives and Towing limits
First I am, was a Ford nut for many years. This last year I decided to buy a new truck and replace a sports car and my '95 Ranger. I wanted to be fair so I really looked at, read spec sheets, eyeballed some more, test drove all brands of small mid size trucks. Being a Ford fan I went to drive the Ford first. The 2004 drove just like my ... Read More

Just drove Colorado on trip today
I drove a low end priced SB Colorado automatic on a 170 mile trip. To put it simply, Chevy blew it again! This thing feels cheap, beat me to death on interstate. Poor handling. Radio sounds terrible due to a fifty cents speaker system. The engine power was OK, gas mileage appears good. Maybe the higher priced models are better, havent tried one of those yet. I have had two S10 ... Read More

Canyon/Colorado Notes
This coming year should be interesting for midsize trucks, with GMC/Chevy, Dodge, and Nissan all coming out with new or greatly changed machines. I personally think an I-5 will be fine. I'm hoping for an American alternative to the Tundra (current smaller version). It surprises me a little that the I-6 in the TrailBlazer isn't an option, surely one more cylinder isn't THAT big a size difference. Pity we have to ... Read More

questions/comments
I agree with some of the other comments posted here and also had a few of my own. first, Chevy's styling doesn't really appeal to me in any shape or form but I would consider buying GMC model since I really like this truck in general. I agree with some of the others the engine offerings are a slight problem. if they're going to offer just two engines, the I5 should ... Read More
