Chevy Colorado from Orlando

  

WwRGSwW -> Chevy Colorado from Orlando (7/16/2008 5:25:53 AM)

Hey guys, I know im a little out of place here with a rado instead of a hummer, but as most of you know, the Colorado/Canyon are "Cousins" of the Hummer3. And I am looking at setting up a joint meet between them, as with todays gas prices, fewer people are buying our trucks/SUV. Now what makes this better, is there are a lot of goods that members of the 355 (Colorado/Canyon model number) community can offer you.... My personal specialty is LED Gauge clusters... I have been doing this for over 50 trucks/cars/suv/crossover ect... and I will post some of my work in this thread. Now im not here to sell anything, but just to let you know, we also have members that specialize in tuning, taillight tinting, custom metal work, and lots of other projects.



I have a 2007 Chevy Colorado
Crew Cab
Z71
3.7 I5
4WD
1.5" Lift

Rado Interior.



Now are the exatly the same?  NO!  But parts are interchangeable and wires are exactly the same, we can even swap parts between us and the H3...   So we are a little more related then you think.  This is why GM Put us on the exact same production line (Shreveport, LA) because it requierd very minimal changes to the line!   

The only thing you guys have that we want, is floor shifters!  (and I members have retrofited them into a colorado.

I dig the blue lights in the cluster.  

Doc Olds -> RE: Chevy Colorado from Orlando (7/17/2008 12:11:42 PM)

Except for the Alpha, the H3 and Colo/Canyons share the same intakes.  [;)]

Axles, locker, shocks, frame sections, skids, etc... not so much.   Platforms:  Colo/Canyon GMT 355;  Hummer H3 GMT 345.  Kissin cousins?  [:D]

Welcome to the forums.

Those are custom done by my self.... I offer the same service for H3''''s (Have not seen a H2 Cluster to modify yet)

My whole interior is converted to LED.





As for other shared parts, Try the same PCM, same wiring harness, same internal electronics for 4WD, Same electronics for window control, headlamp controller.... ect.... lots of differences, lots of sames :)

and pre alpha the whole engine bay was the same (Same engines ;)
