Wonder why? Same engine in nearly every Colorado/Canyon made. They're not known to be particularly difficult or problematic to wok on. Or are they?

Perhaps he was a young tech when the head replacements first started happening and had flashbacks? He seemed about 35 years old.

They have their hands full with the LS 5.3L failed lifters.

These trucks are older, they haven't been working on them for years so nobody at the Stealerships have recent experience in doing so. Cowards. They want quick turn around easy stuff to bill through the nose for.

Quote for truth. I would not have let them do the work anyways. They use us, we use them, it's the circle of life.
