Here’s a shot of my 2009 Colorado interior with factory leather. Maybe I’m easy to please but it doesn’t seem so atrocious to me. Talking about the Colorado/ Canyon now as a choice is a bit late for a new one because they have finished production of this model. If you dislike this one search out a p...

Sonoma GT

I wonder if it would be possible to adapt these sliders to work on a CrewCab Chevy Colorado.

Sonoma GT

I just used the original clips.

Sonoma GT

Looks like their is special clips that hold the fuel lines to the pump. Are they like the one on the fuel filter you just squeeze or do you need a tool?

No special tools needed. Just the squeeze type.

I bought the Bosch pump at Advance Auto. I did not buy it online because my pump died and I wanted it quickly.Advance had it in stock.

The old S10 Crew is gone. Traded in on this. Some may think its ugly. That's OK with me ,everyone has an opinion. The smaller crew cabs are the only trucks that fit my needs and GM is what I like so there you have it. Its a 2009 Crew Cab Colorado Z71. It was the only one I could find that had everyt...

I have the same General Grabber AT2's in a LT235/75R15. I've had them on my Crew Cab for about 7 months. I've had the chance to test them in all conditions now including lots of snow. Great tire to me. I paid $105.00 each.
Another 14" to 20" of snow forcast for tonight and tomorow. Bring it on.

Sonoma GT

That is my concern F9K9. These rigs are getting old. At 120,000 miles mine is making a lot of new noises and its starting to scare me enough to realize that it wont last forever and I should trade it in before something major happens and it has almost no value. I got a good deal on this truck 4 year...

Sonoma GT

Not to bash my S10 but in my opinion the Colorado is a much better looking truck. My crew cab is the forth s-series that I have owned. The first 3 were 1st generations and I thought they were better looking than the second Gen. I put a bull bar and offroad driving lights on my crew because I think i...

Sonoma GT

I'm considering trading my trusty old 2001 S10 Crew Cab in on a 2009 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Z71. I don't need a full size truck but a little bigger would be nice. Its a good looking truck and the inline 5 seems to run well but i'm just trying to figure out if its really worth all that money. Maybe ...

Sonoma GT

The AC Delco pumps were plug-n-play, the Delphi pump requires cutting the wires and splicing in a new connector. I don't like that

The Bosch pump that I installed a few months back was plug and play.

Sonoma GT

Bosch

Sonoma GT

That is something that I should have been able to think of myself after the other problems that I had. Thanks. Any other things that you can think of to help figure this one out?

Sonoma GT

I replaced the fuel pump in my 2001 Crew Cab a few months ago. All was fine until a couple of days ago. The tank was about half full and I noticed that the fuel gauge pegged all the way up above the full mark and has not moved since. I’m trying to find out what is causing this and my question is abo...

Sonoma GT

The new transfer case input shaft seal is in. I also put in the new HVAC actuators and HVAC control. I have a quiet non hissing and properly functioning system. Tomorow I will run a seperate line for the vent on the transmission and transfer case.

Sonoma GT

I'm going to replace the seal and run separate vent lines for the t-case and transmission. That should cover all possibilities. The rest of my HVAC parts should be here tomorow and I hope to have this truck totally done by this weekend.

Sonoma GT

I understand that the t-case and transmission are separate units that do not share the same fluid. The only way it could happen is through bad seals between them or through the common vent hose. My truck had fluid all through the vacuum system so my thought was that this was all part of that. After ...

Sonoma GT

I have a new twist to this saga.Today I thought that I would check the fluid level in the transfer case. I thought it would be low from the fluid being sucked all through the vacuum system. I opened the fill hole on the T-case and a flood of transmission fluid came out. It put out about 1 1/2 quarts...

Sonoma GT

Latest update. Many more hours spent taking apart the interior vac lines to clean them out with Simple Green cleaner followed by compressed air.This is a clean vacuum system throughout, I believe. Every part was cleaned or replaced.The new vacuum tank is in. Turns out you don't need to remove the Br...

Sonoma GT

It might be a little late for the picture and documentation part because I did not even think of that when I started. Arter part of the day working on it I have not even touched the Vacuum tank yet. It took most of the day to replace all of the vacuum lines and the t-case switch and then go out to b...

Sonoma GT

I thougt the Helms factory manual would have instructions on the vac tank R&R and the vacuum routing diagram. I don't have a factory manual. I'll get by without but the more info I have the better I like it.

Sonoma GT

I ordered a new vacuum tank that will be in tomorow. After some time spent testing the actuators with a vacuum pump the only one that seems bad is the dash vent to floor vent one. Of course its the hardest one to get to. I'm going to replace the vacuum tank,replace all of the rubber vac lines that i...

Sonoma GT

Does anyone have a vacuum routing diagram for a 2001 Crew Cab that they could email to me? The faulty T-case vacuum switch got me. I have the new switch in hand, new HVAC control head on the way and some new vacuum hose bought. I have been doing some reading on what needs done to clean out the syste...

Sonoma GT

This pump does have a Lifetime warranty and Bosch claims to be the world leader in fuel system technology, for what that’s worth. As far as running only on the top half of the tank, NO. I’m not that disciplined. I set my trip odometer and make sure that I get gas sometime in the next 230 miles. Usua...

Sonoma GT

My fuel pump finally died on my 2001 Crew Cab after 110,000 miles. I needed to fix it this weekend and could not find an OEM pump and didn’t want to wait to have one delivered. I know that the OEM pump is supposed to be the best and that cheap pumps won’t last so I thought I’d give this Bosch pump a...

Sonoma GT

I just found a coolant leak in my intake gasket. 2001 Crewcab,leaking bad on the front right side. I'm trying to decide if I want to tackle this myself this weekend. The shop that I use can't do it until midweek. They said about $530.00. If they could do it sooner I think I would let them but I woul...

Sonoma GT

My starter died shortly after I bought my Crew 2 years ago and I still have bad memories about replacing it. It is tough to get out. Every other starter that I've ever replaced was easy compared to this. It does come out though. Replacing the wires on the new one was not easy either. Good Luck.

Sonoma GT

The evap. system code is gone at last . After a lot of time and replacing a few parts the new fuel filler neck was the fix. The evap system monitor on my code reader finally cleared it after a month of trying to find the leak. Anyone that can't find the reason for Code PO442 or maybe other evap. sys...

Sonoma GT

This should be the end of Code PO442,once I get it installed.

Sonoma GT

I called 6 dealers that my local dealer told me had a filler neck. All but one of them said that they either did not have one or that it was reserved for a customers truck. One had it for $160.52 + shipping. I told him to keep it. I ordered it from GM Partsdirect. Total price $120.16 .Due to arrive ...

Sonoma GT

Local chevy dealer was very helpful. Part not available from GM any longer. Parts guy at dealer gave me the phone number of 6 dealers that have 1 in stock but I have not contacted them yet. Many are closed on Saturday. I sent email to S-10 warehouse on ebay and also have on-line used parts places lo...

Sonoma GT

The strange thing is that most of the truck including the fuel tank look fine. No more rust than you would expect for a 2001 around here. How different is this neck compared to a non crew s10? I can adapt things somewhat. I'm a machinist by trade. I was pondering making the whole thing but that is f...

Sonoma GT

Picture of the filler neck.

Sonoma GT

I just found the problem. I took apart the entire fuel filler neck to clean and wire wheel all of the rust off of the surface so that I could be sure to get a good seal. When I started to clean off a lot of very heavy rust I started to see small holes on the neck. After some more cleaning it was app...

Sonoma GT

I was already checking things with a hand vacuum pump. I started that yesterday and so far found nothing. I going to go back at it when I find some time over the next few days.

Sonoma GT

It is the only valve that I know of that has a hose going to it back near the vapor canister near the rear axle. The valve that this thread is about.
I know that there is a purge solenoid mounted on the top left side of the engine. I did nothing to that solenoid.

Sonoma GT

Gas cap is genuine GM part from Chevrolet dealer. Purge valve is AC Delco ACD part # 214-633 ,Gm part # 12559015

Sonoma GT

Steel Tank Manufacture date 05-01 I find no holes or leak in charcoal canister or hose. I just cut the end off of the hose at the purge valve and put on a new clamp to elemanate and chance of a leak there but I don't think their was one.

Sonoma GT

Its just like yours. 2001 s10 Crew.

Sonoma GT

Man I wish cursing was acceptable on this forum. I need to vent. The Freekin code is back. New gas cap, New purge valve, tightened the filler neck and vent hose and the PO442 comes back in a day or two each time .Thinking about how to make a smoke tester because I refuse to let this thing get the be...

Sonoma GT

fingerscrossed:

And a prayer. I'm not to confident in this one.

Sonoma GT

New valve installed tonight. Hopefully no more code 442.

Sonoma GT

I did test the valve and the seal. It seems to be closing off complelety and stoping all flow when energized. I'd say it's working properly. I guess i'll replace it and see.

Sonoma GT

DTC code PO442 is driving me crazy. I tried a new GM gas cap,removed and cleaned and tested the purge valve and tightened the fuel filler hose clamps. Code comes back after clearing it each time. It takes about 2 days and then there it is again. I am going back out to look at the hoses again right n...

The passenger side rear seat belt is getting wet after it rains.It is getting wet inside were it rolls up when not in use. 2001 Crew Cab. Anyone have this problem or ideas on a fix.

Sonoma GT

Thanks. As for modifications to the crew,no list but some thoughts. It has kept me busy so far with just maintainance. Changed every fluid and filter from front to rear. Bought a OBD2 code scanner to find the code that was for a bad coolant temp. sensor and just replaced the starter 5 days ago. Only...
