Well, the dealer fixed under warranty. On direct questioning the service desk man said "yes" the truck problem is a known problem, but"no" there is no general recall out. I guess that's because the problem isn't life threating. The job took longer than I expected, it was on the lift for over two hours. I was in the waiting room, but I could see from there when they brought the truck into the shop. On the work order I see to that they also turned the rear drums, may have said "polished". They then gave it an extensive test drive, about 6 miles worth. So, people with a 2005 Colorado, keep ears and eyes open for any parking brake noise and lock-up, especially on first backing after a parking for more than a couple of hours. I'll look at the Consumer Reports experience on the 2005 Colorado, it may show brakes as a problem area. One nice change, I looked at an Impala on the floor and reading the sticker I see Stainless Steel exhaust standard. I had SS exhaust on a 1990 Mitsubishi and after 15 years it was still factory original. For those of us who keep a car that long, SS exhaust is worth at least $1,000 in exaust work in 15 years, 150,000 miles.

I built one starting back in 2014. And I still live in it. I am an electrical engineer but I have had significant building design experience working as a draftsman for a commercial fire sprinkler company thru college and later in industrial plant construction. And still later, having rebuilt or remodeled 9 houses and one new other steel frame house back in '85 made by another company called Tri Steel. So, I agree with some of what the poster above has said. I had a number of problems with delivery. I did build in a county outside the Austin metro area that at that time had absolutely no regulations whatsoever if you had more than 10 acres. I had them make me an adaptation of one of their simple layouts and added my own porch and a 1600 sf lean to addition for a total of 4k sf, using standard metal building rules. I was able to buy just the metal frame and supply all my own other components. If I had to do it again, I would just design the entire thing myself and then maybe find a structural engineer to review and edit. The frame was built by a company down in Houston and I went down there to pick it up myself. I could have had this fabbed directly for maybe 10K less. Now, I don't see what issues a county like Travis could complain about as compared to a crappy conventional kiln dried wood and OSB constructed frame as these frames are massive overkill and the wood structures are garbage. But I built the 1st steel home in Fulton Co, GA (of Fani Willis fame) and, yes, the people that work in those depts are ridiculous and asinine. Overall, I pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Except for the raw core frame, I had no plans for this and designed the entire thing in my head as I went and was able to find good deals on materials and so was able to do top shelf quality on a shoestring. I built the entire thing myself (with a few laborers on weekends. I bought my own heavy equipment and dug a basement which is nearly unheard of in TX. Well, it took me 5 yrs get it livable and I'm still doing some small things inside, but I was simultaneously building a 10-stall horse stable with an upstairs loft. and a house for chickens, iron stairs up the stable loft, iron pipe fences, irrigation systems...... Ok, sorry for the ramble, but the point is, if your up to the type of thing I described then, at least the concept is for you and if you are creative you can find ways to do what they do without them. I would like to build another (designing the frame myself) as my ultimate dream, but at nearly 70, I'm pretty much done with it all. My place is a mix between traditional TX ranch style and English country style (all stone exterior and a chimney on each end). I'd like to build a large purely English style 2 story with wings, but that's for my next life.......

Change the spark module and turn off your cap lock on your key board.

Having same engine idle problems. 92 chevy Scottsdale 5.7L, 104,800 miles.Starts and runs great but, when it warms up setting in drive with foot on brake, the engine surges. Idles down then back up (like a stuttering). Sometimes, when driving between 35 and 40mph it will do a little hesitation, but when I give it gas it smooths right out. I have replaced TPS, engine temp sensor, plugs, wires, 02 sensor. new fuel filter, disconnected the EGR vac (No difference), tested MAP it is good. So,a few months ago I had a new Distributor put in, it seems this is when my problem started. No saying this is the cause, but yesterday when when starting it for the first time and after a min or so the distributor started make that sound again (bearing) after engine warmed up it stopped making the noise. So I m thinking I have a crappy distributor. And yes I put in a Carquest dizzy. Had no choice the 3 auto stores around here all have crappy after market parts so I thought Carquest was the better choice. So it looks like I will be replacing this dizzy with a AC Delco if I can find one. Maybe you guys can check you distributor for your problem. Hope my impute helps someone. any feed back advise is welcomed. Email me jdcron@wmis.net as I may not see your response.
