Partner, the Colorado and Dmax family of engines is exactly the same. The Colorado just tuned up a little. But parts wise, they're twins under the skinCapleton wrote:Krystal Car Part Imports wrote:A Colorado is basically an Isuzu d max. Just like how a bt50 is just a Ford ranger.

Both Isuzu and Chevrolet are owned by General Motors. The previous model Colorado and Dmax had very similar body parts, but the key difference was the drive train. The Colorado's Duramax powerplant monsters the Dmax (old and current models). Also, the Colorado is a much more refined vehicle with lots more features and tech included. The Colorado also has a revamped suspension for a smoother ride and also less engine noise. That being said, you can get lots of Colorado parts online at a fraction of the price you would pay locally (just make sure you have the correct part number).

1. Think it was an issue with my particular van whereby the ecu had to be replaced and can’t remember the exact issue I was having but it was still under warranty so I was given a complimentary vehicle to use for about two weeks.
2. The front suspension shock mount bushing/top strut bushing is rubbish. I got an upgrade kit and no issues since as it’s holding out pretty solid.
3. After about 50,000km if you don’t use fuel treatment you get a low fuel pressure code which puts the van in lame mode and a puff of smokes precedes lame mode when taking off from a standstill. I use diesel kleen which sorted the problem after just one bottle which was used within three tank fills but guessing any treatment may also help.
4. Recently I’ve been getting another error exhaust gas recirculating flow excessive detected so I started back on the fuel treatment and haven’t gotten the code since.
I have the fully loaded, 2.5, 6 speed manual, 4x4 and love the cruise control the most out of all the features. Decent van and even though Amsoil diesel isn’t dexos approved I find it works pretty good with no complaints. Last service I used a Motul brand that is dexos approved but not sure if it’s in my mind as I find the engine seems a bit noisier than with the amsoil so I’ll be switching back next service.
Service at Lifestyle isn’t the best but isn’t the worst either and I stopped servicing by them due to dishonesty about an engine wash. I still buy most of my parts from them but yes they can be found online cheaper but at least for me it’s about convenience and not necessarily costs.
