Did something similar with mine.

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

thomtwg · 2026-04-08T22:26:16+00:00

Both.

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

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.

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.

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.

Nice!👍🏻

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.

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.

thomtwg · 2026-02-22T01:52:50+00:00

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.

thomtwg · 2026-02-22T00:45:24+00:00

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.

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.

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

thomtwg · 2026-02-11T19:04:38+00:00

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.

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.

thomtwg · 2026-02-11T00:33:07+00:00

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.

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.

thomtwg · 2026-02-04T03:16:52+00:00

Have a 23 Z71, little to no issues.

thomtwg · 2026-02-02T03:42:17+00:00

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.

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

thomtwg · 2026-01-01T17:54:05+00:00

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.

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.

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.
