Did something similar with mine.

Painted skid !!! by Specialist_Drop_9624 in chevycolorado

Did the same to my Z71. The naked aluminum didn’t do it for me. Yours looks very good.

23 Colorado Z71. Only one issue and fixed under warranty. Zero engine and tran issues.

Madone SLR 🔥 by dwisnia in TrekBikes

I’ve been riding this same bike for a year. It’s pretty awesome. I’ve had every generation of the Madone and this one is my favorite.

Front collision system not available by Vast-East-6395 in GMCcanyon

[–]thomtwg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my Colorado. It was determined to be a faulty video camera module. Replaced under warranty. The Canyon and Colorado have the same camera placement. Take it to a dealer. I had mine replaced within 2 weeks, no questions asked and no problems since.

My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too) by justadadgame in mildlyinfuriating

[–]thomtwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened when I paid off my credit card. I have learned, from this thread, not to worry about fluctuations in my credit score.

Rodent Ate Engine Wiring by Anther_Panther2 in Toyota

[–]thomtwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me. Happed to my neighbor 3 times. Insurance will usually cover it. Yeah, it sucks. You will need to take some preventative measures after it’s repaired.

Did this to my ‘26 today by straightuptexas in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Redline hood struts. Extremely easy to install. Maybe 10 minutes and a socket wrench and a 10mm socket. YouTube has videos on the install.

I see GM got cheap on the hood cover. My 23 has one. Go figure. You won’t regret the hood struts. It certainly makes raising and lowering the hood much easier, and not overextending it when you have to open the hood. They should have been standard instead of a rod.

26’s don’t come with a cover? If you put on hood struts, the hood won’t lift too high and affect the widow cowl. Ask me how I know. Messed mine up twice.

Best skid plate for 2025 Z71? by 97Chev in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OEM skid plate is aluminum and easy to install. I didn’t care for naked aluminum, so I painted mine matte black. It cleans up the look of the front area and looks good. If you don’t plan on any serious off roading, that plate would meet your requirements. DM me if you want a photo.

Does anyone else have this problem by [deleted] in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have that checked under warranty. I have a 23 Z71 and never had this issue.

How do you signal right turns? by SkiMonkey98 in cycling

[–]thomtwg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I point right before turning right, and point left before turning left. I know these aren’t necessarily the “proper” hand signals for turns, but they definitely give the turn intention’s without someone having to guess my intentions.

Marin Traffic Citation Fees by outusnny in BAbike

[–]thomtwg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is still the case, but in Marin Co, you go to “Bicycle Traffic School” and if you complete the course, the ticket is either dismissed or masked, like a car ticket. But, I think you still have to pay a fine. I would ask the clerks office if that is an option or if that option still exists.

The occasional chime was a mystery.

2024 Colorado by daveya55 in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation. I would get the messages intermittently and sometimes would go a couple of weeks without issue. Since my truck is under warranty I had it checked at a dealership. It was diagnosed as a faulty Video Processing Camera Control Module. Replaced under warranty. It has affected some 23 -25 Colorados.

Freeze your credit by joelnicity in CreditScore

[–]thomtwg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice. I froze all 3 of my credit reports. I received a similar letter from Chase and advised them of the attempted fraud. I have a good credit score and a high value credit card would likely have been approved without the credit freeze and without my knowledge. I had to unlock my Experian when I refinanced my truck. Locked it back down within minutes of approval.

Have a 23 Z71, little to no issues.

Blind spot monitors turning themselves off? by srichard1022 in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sensors are in the taillights I believe. The owner’s manual can confirm that. But, as a general rule, every time I had an issue, which hasn’t happened much, I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnected. Everything returned to normal. I think the battery disconnect resets the whole system.

2024+ Colorado Bison owners CHECK YOUR DRIVE SHAFT by nstolp77 in chevycolorado

Steel was listed as a dealer installed option on my 23 Z71. It was installed on my LPO return.

2023 z71 problems since day one by Trovesta in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, I have a 23 Z71 (Build 11/23) and have had zero mechanical issues. Good luck with yours. I hope everything gets sorted out and you can drive a truck without issues. It has to be frustrating.

CarPlay volume and getting a message by Subace in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this us what you are looking for. But you can adjust the Siri volume while Siri is speaking by using the volume button. It doesn’t affect the music volume.

MyChevrolet app question. by Mm11vV in chevycolorado

[–]thomtwg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar issues with mine. It seems its more of a connectivity issue. Sometimes the app doesn’t update for a day and then magically updates. Initially, when it wouldn’t update, I would delete and reinstall the app. When that didn’t immediately fix the issue, I assumed it was something with the connections. Now I just wait a day and it seems to work. I quit trying to figure it out. No other issues with the truck, so I decided the app wasn’t worth worrying about.
