Thanks for the Vid, your truck looks Killa! I just bought a Colorado 7. Caryard said they serviced it but saw Fuel Filters weren't touched (due in schedule). I was worried about oil filter change but you made it look easy. Yes a hoist is essential to find anything wrong. Keep up the great work 👍.

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Appreciate the comment mate, yer the filters on these are easy as to do. save the money and do it yourself for sure =)

[@carlopadillo587]

Really informative. Thank you sir! 👍🏼

Hi and thx, am buying a 2018 Z71 Red. Very helpful

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Nice mate, you will love it. they are great cars

[@giovannibulatao8327]

Nice looking Truck bro… Got myself a 2018 z71 and loved it. Post more vids if you can. Cheers

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Appreciate the message mate, have since sold this car however.

That joke about premature 😂 that tickled me ! Might have to bring my lux in for a service next time man. Hope you are doing well brother keep up the awesome work ❤

Hahah and ben loved it too so that made me happy Flat out bro, too much going on but working through it. hope your well also =)

[@jackbaldwin2135]

@@RCSMediaDivision haha ! Good to hear 😂 That’s good bro means your doing a mint job which we all know you do! So good on you :) yeah not doing too bad works slow but personally doing alright :)

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@jackbaldwin2135 Just keep a positive mindset bro, the whole economy is slow at the moment. all the rising prices has just mucked up so much stuff. Whenever i find a quiet time, i always look at it as the calm before the storm. so enjoy it.

Have you still got the truck? Love to see a update on how it is going. Great work

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Dont sorry mate, sold it to fund stuff for the shop.

[@user-zf8ox8my9q]

Hey man, thanks for the video. It was good for checking whether there are any little tricks to servicing a Colorado. Want to avoid FUBAR. Learnt a bit about premature babies too (!?) - yikes. If you have the time or inclination to do a video on 'Lubricate sliding sleeve' (a requirement at 90,000km, but apparently no-one does it) then that would be good. Cheers.

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Thanks for the comment mate, appreciate it. actually sold the ute so no more videos on this one anymore. looking to either purchase a silverado or a raptor. time will tell.

[@terrywilson7518]

Good video

[@anotheraussiebattla233]

Legend thanks heaps for this I have just brought the same model out of curiosity I’m sure I could read the manual but I’m a bloke so I’ll just ask how much oil does it take once fully drained cheers

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Hey Mate, haha 100% we never read those things. takes 5.7L so buy a 5L & 1L Penrite, pretty sure i showed the bottles in the video.

[@FoggiestTrack]

Hi mate, I was wondering if the suspension can be softer, I've got an 18 model, love it. But I drive it empty most of the time. Cheers

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Hey Mate, are you running stock suspension or aftermarket?

[@southerngentleman5321]

THANKS MAN, hopefully bleeding the fuel is easy

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Just cycle the ignition a few times. i was worried it would be hard too but it was the easiest thing id done on it to be honest.

[@yerochewitt2350]

Hey man. Sick Rado bro! Looks mint! Question, what have you done to the exhaust system to get it to sound like that? Sounds super sexy!

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Hey Mate, Cheers for comment. Have since sold this car. but owned it for 6 years and loved it. it has a straight through 3.5" system dumped at the diff to start with but was way too loud. so i put a muffler in it but was just some random muffler i had laying around. this is how it was in the video.

[@nathanhubbard1041]

Is like to buy a Colorado but I’m scared about after market support and ongoing parts etc now that holden has folded Is this a valid concern ?

[@MD-qh8gg]

Have the same one

What Void Your Warranty If You Don’t Mind me asking

[@user-yr4om7kq6g]

Awesome looking rig, What size lift you have in it? Any problems with scraping on full lock or bumps ect?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Have to get the right wheel offset so you dont scrub. i made that mistake with first set of wheels. has roughly a 3" lift in it now. used to have 6 but was too high.

[@user-yr4om7kq6g]

@@RCSMediaDivision oh ok, are the tires you got on there now 285s? I want to put a 3 inch lift in mine with 285 16 muddies, I know I’d have to do upper control arms but Did you have to do other mods to have the 3 inch lift not ruin cvs or damage anything els? Or would you think It’d be better doing a 2 inch suspension lift and 1 or 2 inch body lift so I don’t have to modify to much..? Sorry for all the questions lol Looks like you are in the know how that’s why I ask

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@user-yr4om7kq6g i think off top of my head they are that size, not near it at the moment. but roughly a 32/33. yes done upper control arms and diff drop to reset axle angle. iv done 2" suspension and 1" body. i had 4 inch suspension and 2" body beforehand but i wasnt happy with how it handled. but you definately need to do control arms and diff drop otherwise you will chew through axles.

[@user-yr4om7kq6g]

@@RCSMediaDivision mate I’ve just done a fully adjustable dobinsons lift set at 3 inch in the front with diff drop and upper control arms.. did you have any dramas getting the camber in the front of yours so there not sitting top in? My back tyres are sticking out the guard about 20mm but the front are sitting inside the guard like 15mm and These useless tyre shops in Adelaide can’t get the camber straight up and down “cause the 2016+ caloffroad upper control arms aren’t adjustable” that’s the excuse I’m getting as to why they can’t get them correct anyway 🙄 I see you did yours a long time ago but any input on how yours went would be much appreciated

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@user-yr4om7kq6g The caloffroad arms we had were for sure adjustable. but this was a 2017. are you sure you have the right arms? should have a big locking nut on the top. we adjusted it straight then tac welded it in place so it wouldnt move. Without having an adjustable arm you have really no way of fixing that camber. i remember how bad it was too. not ideal.

[@ChoppaMate]

Head unit just an issue with a touch screen? Mines been getting worse for about 8 months lol.. Finally getting fixed in 2 days after I smacked it slightly too hard.. Have you, or heard of anyone, had an issue with the torque converter? I have a Z71, in bright orange. I have a love hate relationship with it ha.

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Iv actually since sold this car. had it for several years and loved it. but it did have its issues. the torque converter issue can be fixed cheap and easily if caught early. look up instant shudder fix can be found on ebay, that fixed mine up. but iv heard some people end up having to get rebuild. headunit they think might have been programming issue if not screen issue. but i never got around to fixing that as it would not do it for months at a time.

[@CollieRG]

Hey mate just bought this 2013 model, when I put my foot down abit too much it comes up with “engine power reduced”, and sometimes stalls so I have to stop put it in park and start it again till it happens again. The scanner tool said fuel pressure sensor so I got one today but haven’t put it on yet, also looks like it hasn’t been serviced in fkn ages so maybe fuel filter? Just need some advice cheers!

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Totally agree on fuel filter mate. id be doing that for sure. with the fuel they sell us these days you never know how bad it might be.

[@craigmccliskie1306]

What exhaust are you running?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

This was a custom made 3" as wasnt much around when it first come out. but any good 3" would do the same job. not a big fan of stainless on 4wds tho

[@laurentturnier1895]

Hey how’s it going I have a question 2018 model I accidentally broke the top of the little yellow drain plug next to the fuel filters and now I can’t drain the water fuel separator what do you recommend ?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Hey Mate, That is going to make things a bit tricker, is there anyway to get some grips onto it to undo? you will need to replace it. but i guess worst case you could replace the whole filter housing from a wreckers. to get it out if you cant get anything on it you could try drill it and tap it out like you would a bolt.

[@laurentturnier1895]

Thank you so much for the fast reply, no it’s broken of pretty short so I can’t grip it at all but what I’m wondering is how important is it to the car because when I change my fuel filters all the water comes out and the yellow plastic drain plug screws in the same compartment as the filters so my question is do I really need to unplug the yellow drain plug if I regularly change fuel filters because I just taught the yellow plug was to take water out without having to take out the filters ? What’s your opinion ?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@laurentturnier1895 You have a good point mate, on one hand its always good to follow procedure because things are there for a reason. however if you change them all the time i feel like it would be fine in my opinion.

[@neilrobertson1345]

How many litres oil for oil change how do you bleed system after doing fuel filters

[@RCSMediaDivision]

5.7L from memory on oil. bleeding fuel is pretty easy just turn key on and off a few times. youll hear it bleed up.

[@yerjerre]

What suspension and tyre size do you use?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Not near the car at the moment but we lifted it 2" with pedders. tyre overall size was 2" more then stock to keep within the the legal limit.

[@ibrahimozkurt1570]

thanks man

[@ClintO-jx2bu]

That thing flew in the end😮. What time did you go with?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

haha its been tuned and what not, actually goes pretty well for a big car. considering its full of tools. Sorry what was the time referring too?

[@ClintO-jx2bu]

@@RCSMediaDivision sorry, typo. Was suppose to ask what tune figures you end up getting?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@ClintO-jx2bu ah man i cant remember like around 140-150rwkw from memory. factory was around the 80ish i think? was a huge change and when im driving normal its actually far better on fuel. witch was crazy. i think with the snorkel and exhaust it breaths better now witch may be the better fuel economy.

[@ClintO-jx2bu]

@@RCSMediaDivisionbetter fuel economy would be great haha. I noticed yours seems to be missing something on the exhaust haha I’d say without that it would make a difference.

@@ClintO-jx2bu i have NO idea what your talking about officer hahaha but yer if im being honest i think thats the thing that made the biggest difference. they are the worst idea to have.

id be guessing sorry mate.

[@adminozegaragesales4479]

Mate my intercooler has a hole in it but I still have P0017 service vehicle soon error as I'm sure my timing belt is out by 1/2 or 1 tooth. My mechanic is now overseas for three weeks. He checked my timing marks before he left and said they all line up so it's not his replacement of my timing belt? Can you adjust the timing without removing everything and how do you know which way to adjust it back 1/2 tooth or 1 tooth????

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Ill ask the guys and see what they say. if the timing is out. then its the person who fitted its fault surely?

[@adminozegaragesales4479]

@@RCSMediaDivision yes he wants to sort it out on his return. I think because he didn't use a locking tool and he's taken the belt off then marked it is the problem. He's possibly moved it then marked it?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@adminozegaragesales4479 yer i agree, because if it wasnt out before i dont understand how it could be out now? unless the belt was really stretched beforehand

[@adminozegaragesales4479]

@@RCSMediaDivision I don't think the belt would have been stretched. I had the belt changed at 123000 km instead of 150000. So if he pulls it apart and uses a locking tool how would you know which way it's out by 1/2 a tooth? I can see him pull it apart and all his marks he put on there line up as hf sent me photos of them two weeks ago when I had it serviced. Yes they line up so why the error? I can only say it moved before marked it???
