2023 Chevy Colorado PROBLEMS and little MODS

[@kyleolson148]

I enjoy your videos, good job and keep them coming. I ordered my Colorado ZR2 and can't wait for it to arrive!!!!

[@Downtimelost]

Sheeeeesh the zr2 is bitchen you will love it ! Super awesome rig ! Very nice ! I appreciate you man ! 🤘

[@MrRiko713]

Been coming across you on tiktok and YT. Keep the videos coming man, only guy out here it seems making these videos for new z71. I'm getting mine today!

[@Downtimelost]

Ayyy I appreciate it homie ! 🤘 thanks for watching! And CONGRATS! You’re gonna love it !

[@w1kedZ]

Just for info.. the reason your battery died is likely BECAUSE you had no service. The issue causing the dead batteries was not updates, it was the module that calls home to download the updates, etc. If you haven’t had the SDGM programming performed from the service bulletin (sent you info on FB I think), then your new battery will also likely be drained when you are out of service. Also when you do your PCH trip I’d love to meet up and chill now that I have my ZR2, I live in the Ventura area. Thanks again for the great content bro

[@Downtimelost]

Hey man thanks for the good info I’ll have to bring my rig In !! I’ll keep my trip updated on insta ! If you see me close hmu we can hit a trail for camp spot !

[@kx8960]

@@Downtimelost I just picked up my 2024 ZR2, and there's setting to turn the automatic updates off, to prevent your battery from dying.

Where is the corgi? Love that little guy

[@Downtimelost]

He was hangin with momma !!

[@live4mac]

That sucks to hear about all of your battery issues, it’s weird that it happened both times while you were camping. Could it be that you were opening and closing the doors a bunch or had some accessories drawing down the battery? My Colorado primes the fuel system and lights up the screens whenever I open the door. I’ve had mine for 6 months now and thankfully haven’t had the dead battery or any other major issues.

[@Downtimelost]

It was definitely part of it I think too, you’re probably good and clear by now ! Those days are over for are colorado owners !

[@thelemus99]

How much have you spent on suspension? And if you don’t mind sharing the specs on it. Looks great and love how you put it to use! Sadly here in Houston we hardly have anything to take this thing to do over landing/ all the good stuff you do

[@Downtimelost]

All I have right now is a Peak suspension add-a-leaf , and 2-1 Level up suspension spacer lift so probably like 300 bucks but that icon kit is pricey!! But worth it cuz I need some good suspension like you said I like to beat on it 😂😂 I appreciate it man ! I wish there was spot for yall Texans to camp it’s a shame ! :(

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

9:40 I’m running Icon coilovers, and they’ve been fantastic. So 🤘

[@Downtimelost]

I’m super hyped on them I’m so over the oem suspension 😂 how many miles do u have on them? Ppl say they leak fast have u had a problem?

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

@@Downtimelost I’ve got a little over a year, and 12K miles on them… probably 20-25 off road trips on them. Zero issues. Another buddy that got his set after me, did have leak issues tho, and had to have them replaced under warranty… the replacement set had no problems

[@Downtimelost]

@@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson oh sweet that’s nice they do warranty’s like that !

[@Mikey-803]

I’ll see you in Calico!

[@Downtimelost]

I’ll be there ! 🤘

[@Iramz71]

Ayyy🙌

[@hlfpsttomorrow93]

I’m debating on trading my ‘18 3.6 long box in for one of these. I’m gonna have to keep an eye on your channel. Subscribed

[@Downtimelost]

Dude you should ! These rigs are so damn good ! You’ll love it !

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

3:10 I like the no sticker look

[@Downtimelost]

Me to I think ima rip them off 😂

[@ronhu6035]

You did the same lettering as I have, but not put on yet, the USA Stars and Stripes theme.

[@jeffk464]

The lettering is backwards right, what is it in Hebrew.

[@Downtimelost]

No my camera flips it 😂😂

[@cheryl814]

What’s the name of the battery that you upgraded to thank you?

[@Downtimelost]

Optima yellow top !

[@kx8960]

I plan on stripping all the stickers (ZR2 by the taillights) and all the other hard (Colorado and ZR2) plastic badging off of mine for a clean look. I like the ZR2 badge in the grill, subtle, I'll leave that.

[@Downtimelost]

I think ima remove them too!

[@kx8960]

@@Downtimelost Talked to a guy (who has a channel) here who stripped the badging on his 2024 ZR2 Bison, and he heated them up with a hair dryer (I'll use my heat gun on low) and used fishing line, said it worked good. Be careful using any chemicals on it to get the glue off. He used Goo Gone and said it didn't hurt the paint, but I've had issues with that stuff ruining plastic, so I think I'll err on the safe side and use the milder Turtlewax Bug&Tar Remover (I know for a fact that works and is paint safe), and maybe a little Meguires cleaner/polish if needed. I think it'll give a nice clean look removing that crap. Best of luck, and post pics!

Good stuff as always. 👍🏻

just wondering how often do u change ur oil?

[@Downtimelost]

5k miles !

[@Tony-hf9mv]

Would be nice if someone came up with a secondary battery kit. Sure it would take care of a lot of issues. Just not sure if there is enough extra room to do it like a jeep

[@Downtimelost]

Hopefully soon in the aftermarket!

[@kx8960]

There's a setting to turn off the automatic updates that are killing the batteries, I set mine, no issues.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

@kx8960 trust me that is not the issue. Last update was September and still have something draining the battery. If it sits 3 or more days I am lucky to have it start.. remote start is out of the question after 2 days of sitting. Parasitic drain somewhere

[@Downtimelost]

@@Tony-hf9mv how many times have you jumped your truck ?

[@kx8960]

@@Tony-hf9mv Huh, well that sucks! Best of luck getting that fixed!

[@JeffreyJohnston724]

some of your video was inverted where the chevy sticker looked backward .

[@Downtimelost]

My phone dose that for some reason 😂

[@Mi4mi_joe]

I bought my truck June 1, 2023 and I still to this day haven’t gotten any update. I checked last weekend and it still says I’m up to date. So odd.

[@Downtimelost]

That’s crazy ! You’re a lucky one ! 😂

[@mt186]

Got my AT4 in July and same thing. No updates needed and no battery issues. I did have to take it in recently to do an infotainment update, mine would "play" whatever the first chime or tone (turn signal sound or pre collision detection sound, etc)really loud over the speakers and then be fine after that. It's a known issue and hasn't returned since the update

[@mt186]

I believe that issue is only on pretty early builds of these trucks

[@Downtimelost]

@@mt186 😂😭 that sounds annoying

[@mt186]

@@Downtimelostit was, at least it only did it once per drive and right at the beginning. Even weirder, it would only do that if you buckled your seatbelt before you used the push button ignition. Lol. These damn vehicles are getting pretty techy

Those brackets aren't CNC'd, they're extruded, then chopped off to length, then the holes/slots are machined in.

[@Downtimelost]

That’s good to know ! Thanks dawg !

[@kx8960]

@@Downtimelost I design parts and help determine manufacturing methods, so I see things like that frequently. They make dies and then extrude the aluminum into long lengths, and cut as needed. You can get geometry that would be hard/expensive to machine in each part. This way, they extrude the shape they need, and only have to saw cut a raw length and then MAYBE clean up that with machining and then put in the holes/slots. WAY cheaper/faster that way. They may even actually take a long piece of extrusion, machine all the holes/slots, THEN cut them into shorter lengths. Extrusions are good and strong though, they look pretty beefy.
