Thinking about getting the 2023 colorado, but concerned about the cylinder deactivation. Thoughts?

[@JoseDelgado-ho1cf]

I own a 2023, I've never seen the cylinder deactivation mode happen in an entire year of ownership.

[@ant.8673]

By the little device, you can plug-in that bypasses it, my friend owns five mechanic shops and told me to buy it because the dealers can’t tell it’s been installed. if you go to the dealership for a service, just unplug it and then plug it back in afterwards.

Actually this motor features new turbo tech, and was designed from inception for truck.
Waiting for my ZR2 delivery and love the motor. *You can have your hybrid.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

The V-6 and the Duramax Diesel that were available in the previous Colorado are no longer offered in 2023.
Which engine is more likely to run over 250,000 miles the 4-cylinder or the Duramax Diesel?

[@docholliday6285]

Prolly the 2.7L TURBO.
The babymax's 181 hp is not gonna do it for me.

​@@docholliday6285I had a 2017 Colorado diesel. It was severely underpowered and struggled to merge on the highway. It got fantastic fuel mileage though.

Where is the water pump? is it driven by the timing chain and cost $3000.00 to replace?

[@TDTVGarage]

The video describes and shows the water pump to be electric and mounted on the outside of the engine. Did you watch the video?

[@toronado455]

At least the water pump and power steering are electric. They should have gone with a mild hybrid and ditched the starter, alternator, and belt-driven A/C compressor! This "brand new" engine is old tech. Thanks very much for the video Sam!

Better off with the jeep with the 4cyl hurricane engine non plug in still this one is better
