Re: My 04 turbo colorado (build thread)
thats from the piston ring bouncing around in the cylinder, actually it wasn't loud at all.. just the sh*t rattling inside the cylinder lol
messed up thing is while data logging with HPTuners, the scanning software never showed any knock at all... sooo my HPT is f**ked up or my knock sensors don't work

That sux dude. I had to sell my 07 when I had my daughter. Id say go for the concept the had for the Colorado SS. Pretty much a 2wd trailblazer setup or just sa f*** it and get a LS1 in there I think it was sum dude in Tennessee that did that not sure been outta that scene for a few years. remember tho in 07 GM made a few changes in the I4 and I5. All this you probably know.

Nice price for it being that complete! Did you get to hear it run prior to being pulled?

Re: My 04 turbo colorado (build thread)
so i picked it up toady and guess what? the stripped all the accessories and hacked up the harness! f*ckin assholes.... whatever, they sold it to me for $650 instead of $800.. still a better deal than LQK wanting 1200 for one..
had a cracked valve cover which i already knew about.. so i swapped those out real quick along with my fuel rail and injectors..
these are some of the leftover parts

Nice Delivery Truck!!! :th_laugh-lol2:
Glad you got the engine, sux that they hacked all the crap but I think it'd be better to just have the main engine go back in and use the parts you have that you KNOW work vs risking a broken wire causing problems or bad sensors or something like that later down the road, now you use all your old stuff with just the motor...
and don't forget the turbo, just get it properly tuned this time :th_jester:

Did you really have to use that tiny little hole in the bottom of the bellhousing to get the TC bolts out? Can't wait to see some more vids of her up an running again...

nope, i pulled the starter out and the TC bolts were easy as hell to access, i don't think there's any way i could have gotten a wrench or ratchet in that access hole lol
TADA!!!!!!!
