Thanks again for tuning in. I just got this truck not long ago and already, the diesel colorado zr2 is turning into a money pit (the bad kind). After getting a check engine light on the Colorado I ran the code and narrowed it down to the upstream Nitrogen Oxide Sensor. Assuming it was just dirty I decided to try and clean both the upstream and downstream sensors in an attempt to save money. Unfortunately the problem persisted as you see in the video and luckily I have a brand new set on the way.

My 2018 has 151K on it now, never a problem, use a fuel additive on every tank and so far zero issues. Hope you get yours sorted out they are really great rigs

I agree, these are amazing little rigs..I was able to resolve the issues it had. Put brand new NOX sensors in it, tightened the inner tie rods, and fixed the chafed wires that were making contact with the ac high pressure line and causing my 4x4 and stabikitrak to stop working. Like a rock now!

Did you change the timing belt on it?

That sonic cleaner looks awesome! I never seen one before

You should look into DuramaxTuners tune for your truck. Won't fix that nock sensor but it really does completely change the entire dynamic of the truck

Hello! I meant to also ask, did the new NOx sensors replacement solved or cleared your codes issues? Thank you!

@thetrailoutthere 7 ай бұрын

They solved the issue. The truck has been running amazing since I replaced them.

@@thetrailoutthere I am going to drop my truck tomorrow to Chevy dealership, they want to scan it. I know your codes were different then mine (P026D) but I came across Federal Emissions Warranty....so, will see what they will say. I am sure they will take my money LOL and solve zero.

I changed my own exhaust sensors dealership wanted to charge me 450 for the sensor and 500 labor I said no thanks

@@kikezombie1999 Well, guess what was wrong initially with my truck.... All 4 injectors had to be replaced because they were bad, not even 60K miles on the truck. Thankfully it was still under warranty. I think the P062 code was just alert for the injectors failure.

Hi, would you put here the part numbers for both sensors please? Also, what was your engine error code? Mine is P026D, I am running out of guesses overall. So, I want to change these two sensor to see if that resolve that error. My truck is ZR2 2019. Thank you

Upstream sensor part no. 24000395 Downstream sensor part no. 24001920 I strongly recommend using a torch and an O2 sensor tool to remove the bad ones. They're baked on pretty good. IF you use a regular socket or wrench, you'll smooth out the hex shape, and it'll be a whole other issue. I forgot what code I got.

Overall tho, how do you like your Colorado ZR2? Would you buy one again?

@thetrailoutthere Жыл бұрын

Despite it having almost triple the mileage my trailboss had (got rid of it with about 23k miles) I would definitely do the trade again. I was waiting for the new colorado to be unveiled but as soon as I learned there was no more diesel option I pulled the trigger on the LWN. This is based on my needs so someone else might have a different opinion. I literally only use my trucks for recreational use so they sit in the driveway the majority of the year which might be a problem with the diesel because of the DEF. If it sits too long it'll go bad and crystalize.

diesels have way to much crap on them now days I have a old 7.3 leter diesel no def no sensors and never have any problems . now days I stick to gas on any new vehicle. and screw electric LOL

@thetrailoutthere 7 ай бұрын

It's beyond me on why they added DEF. It literally burns more fuel than without it just to clean the filter. Thankfully, I got the issue resolved and it's been solid since!
