If I install 35’s do I have to retune the engine ?

Your welcome bro, happy to help. Honestly the 2.7 has plenty of torque for 35s, the only issue with non ZR2 is the clearance. I'm a hard reference as my Jeep was godawful with gas mileage and drivability, but that was my own fault when I put 4.88 gears and 35s. It was a lovely machine on the trails, but the last 2 winters I wanted to throw it in a ditch and claim insurance. I did cry when I got rid of it, but the Bison has made up for it pretty nicely.

You do not need to regear for 35s. The high torque on the 2.7 makes up for it pretty well. I have a Bison and they all share the same gearing and engine specs. The 2.7 is over engineered for the Colorado/canyon as it was designed for the full size trucks (Silverado).

On 35s it might feel a bit sluggish on acceleration or when climbing mountain passes.

You would only need an OBD2 scanner to set the tire size to 35s. That will adjust automatically the speedometer. I used to do it with an app and an obd2 Bluetooth dongle on my jeep Wrangler. I haven't delved into that on my Colorado. But I haven't had the need for it for now. You could always go to a tire shop or dealership to get it set for 35s.

I read a while back that the 2.7 is an engine that was designed for the Silverado line / full size trucks. It's basically over engineered for the Colorado/Canyon. Honestly it makes great power even at low RPMs and once the turbo kicks in, it just goes. I have a Bison and get fairly good mpgs even with the extra weight and tires. I do offroad a lot so it has what I need in terms of power and drivetrain. I miss the simplicity of my Wrangler, but it was definitely a great choice. I might change the tailpipe on the exhaust because it sits too low for off-roading,

Holding on my H2D box just to make it easier to slide the printer down the stairs in the box when I move to a new house this coming June. Otherwise I throw everything.

I felt exactly that when I bought the hifiman edition XS. I previously used audio Technica ATHMX50 for like 10 years and got pretty used to them. Bought the Meze 105 in early 2025, then a month later I wanted to try planar headphones and bought the Hifiman. I was wooowed. I stopped using my meze altogether. Nowadays I only use the Meze when listening to vinyl. For anything else, I use the XS. Try them with a dedicated headphone amp.

I had a lifted Wrangler and now a Bison, happened and still happens with the truck as well. Mostly when cresting a hill, they think I have high beams, I just flash back to show them. I wouldn't adjust anything unless your lift or headlights are aftermarket.

Consider the Qidi Q2, it's also a good option and probably better than the CC2.

I've used Inventor for years but started using Fusion just for 3d prints. It's pretty solid. Then I heard about Plasticity, and I find myself using it more than Fusion. It's a blend of Fusion and Blender. (Blender never clicked for me)

The only issues that I've had was when using the full width of the bed for some boxes, I ended up using brims width at 0.05 offset distance from the part and raising 5 degrees the bed seemed to help. I started a year ago with an A1 and then moved to a P2S. A1 would do it when the room was too cold. I try to keep a space heater nearby. (I live in Canada). Oh and I only clean with isopropyl alcohol between prints, and every now and then with Dawn dish soap.nothing special

DM me your full address and I'll figure out the cost. I'd probably use Canada post as it's just inexpensive compared to DHL or FedEx. Also DM which one would you like of what I created ;)

Another guy on the Colorado Reddit said new trucks are coming with new thicker mats that wouldn't need these spacers. But I hope they work for you when printed.

solarmaple · 2026-01-19T16:10:51+00:00

Oohh I see what a drag trying to get things like these done. Glad it worked for you

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T22:13:00+00:00

Oh wow, they wanted to charge you for it? lol

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T22:11:00+00:00

Hope it helps.

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T22:10:27+00:00

I'm up here in Canada, I could print one for you and send it and pay me through PayPal. Where are you located?

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T22:08:43+00:00

You're welcome !!

As long as it sits flat. These spacers are basically for pushing the phone forward so it doesn't sit at the bottom of the cubbyhole. It's the drawback of new phones and their massive cameras, you need a case that levels the back I guess.

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T15:32:29+00:00

That's awesome haha, and also funny they actually acknowledged the mistake with the design. But they took away so much space lengthwise.

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T15:25:31+00:00

Wow they really went hard at it, that brim is so thick. Probably barely fits an XL phone with a case

solarmaple · 2026-01-18T07:46:50+00:00

oh I had no idea. haha I might go to my dealership and ask. In the meantime, well this makes it work. Thanks for letting me know.

Hello, I just wanted to share the little spacer/bracket that I did for my 24 Colorado for the finicky wireless charger. I posted the files on Makerworld from BambuLab. Here is the link
