What rims to put on

What rims to put on

I’m trying to figure out what rims to run on my 2010 colorado extended cab. People tell me different ones from 18 inch to 20 inch but i seen some chrome 22’s do you think they’d be to big and look goofy? just really don’t know what to do with right now it’s on 16’s haven’t changed much since i bought it!

Badge swap

Decided to switch out my oem z71 decals for 3D black badges. Quite frankly they look pretty good in my opinion, I kind of ran off with the black and grey theme out of excitement and I’ve realized I don’t want to overdue it so I’m gonna slow down. I was worried the 3 dimensional badges wouldn’t lay properly because of the aggressive body lines in that area so instead of ordering oem badges I opted for ones from Amazon that were about 1/4” smaller overall and they fit perfectly, I made sure they used 3M auto grade adhesive.

PLEASE help me diagnose this rattle

2026 elevation, need some help alleviating my OCD and don’t want the dealership ripping apart the dash so hoping someone else here has had and fixed this problem.

Every time I start driving my truck I get this distinct rattle, when going over the most minor of bumps coming from the center dash/console area. I think between the shifter and vents but i can’t for the life of me pin point it.

Here’s the thing - it happens every time I start driving but after 10ish minutes it goes away completely even if I hit big bumps.

Anyone have any experience with this??

2026 Transmission Jolt

Hey guys I have a 2026 Colorado wt only has 900miles on it now but I’ve noticed since about 100miles every time I come to a stop it lurches or jolts when stopping sometimes harder then other times feels like somebody tapped my bumper I read on here some people having this issue but it’s usually when cold or the first stop of the day But mine does it almost every stop hot or cold makes no difference and sitting in stop and go traffic you can really feel it over and over. I took it to the dealership and they test drove it and said that’s just how they are 🥴. Anybody else have this issue? Something tells me I’m gonna have to just live with it unless the transmission decides to throw some codes and the dealership will actually do something. Thanks

Adding ditch lights to factory installed switches

I have a 2023 zr2 desert boss with an auxiliary 3 button switch that was factory installed. I have a lightbar that is on the console auxiliary switch also. I want to add ditch lights to auxiliary button number two, but I have no idea where to connect the positive wire for the lights. Does anyone has a picture they can share to let me know where to land the wire ?

Chevy Colorado Towing Capacity

Can someone help me and explain this.

I have a 2.8L manual transmission,

Depending on axle ratio which I have to determine there are two max trailer weights.

GVWR 4850LB - 3.42 axle ratio - max trailer weight 1800 lbs - GCWR 5500 lbs
GVWR 4850LB - 3.73 axle ratio - max trailer weight 2300 lbs - GCWR 6000 lbs

This doesn't make sense to me, the vehicle weighs 4850 how can it haul a trailer like listed when you can't go over 5500-6000 lbs. Is this wrong? Any insight? TIA

Transmission Fluid Leak 2026 Z71

I've had my truck in the shop twice now because I've found a small spot (about the size of a half dollar each time) of what looks like transmission fluid under my truck. The dealership keeps saying they don't see a leak. I showed them a picture of both where I see where the fluid has been found and the spot under my truck. Anyone experience this issue with trans fluid leak?

Towing Capacity Help

I just purchased a 2025 Colorado WT. the towing capacity is 3500 but it seems like it can be up to 7500. I have called my local dealership and they are no help at all. They told me they have no idea how to increase the towing capacity. Does anyone here have any helpful information? I would really appreciate it. I need to pull a cargo trailer but want to do it safely.

Beginning my hunt for a Colorado

Hi All,

Potential future Colorado owner here looking for some pricing input.

I am south western Ontario, Canada, and starting my dealing next week and I am leaning towards the ZR2 Bison trim.

Base Price - 60,799
Dest/PDI - 2,600
Bison and Tech package - 13,660
Sunroof - 1,150
Total (plus a few other fees) - $79,163 CAD, pre tax.

Now that is from the Canadian Chev site, and navigating through most local dealerships, most are just advertising at that price (relative to options), though a few have tacked on dealer markups.

Anyways, just wondering how others have faired in the last few months in Canada/Ontario with ZR2 pricing and/or discounts/incentives etc. Or as these are more "limited" trim, am I just looking more at MSRP?

Thanks!

2016 with Stabilitrak issue.

Hey I have a 2016 Colorado and I’m at 95k miles. Recently I’m having an issue where the truck will get in like 3rd gear and bog down and it feels like the truck starts jerking and clunking. Then the check engine light comes on and traction control lights start flashing.

I went and got all new spark plugs put in (fresh tune up) and it fixed it for like a day. Now it’s doing it again. Weirdly enough I can put the truck in manual and not make it do it as much if that matters at all. Has anyone else had this issue? And what fixed it or what could it be?
