2004 Chevy Colorado LS1 Pulled the 4 Cylinder out of a brand new 2004 Chevy Colorado to give it a little more power. Obviously, an LS1 was the best choice! 
Anyway, got it running and driving
, but, having some problems getting the ABS to work without flashing codes and working erractically.
Anyone out there be able to offer some advice, or recommend someone who can give me some help with this?

Get in touch with Speartech. They do all sorts of conversions and build harness'. They also do custom programming and know about a lot of the problems that conversion people face.

it should've come like that from the factory!
Can you tell us more about the swap? I'm wanting to get a truck, but I don't think I could stand a 4 cylinder for long.
What rear axle do these trucks have? I was told that was the reason that the S10 never got a V8 (not even a 4.3L L99 or 5.0L L30)
Could you imagine the looks at a dealership when this goes in for warranty work?

Need to know the 411 on that beast! I have just bought a colorado 3.5 reg cab auto there are no up grades for this thing. Iwould be wondering if you know any body that has one that has any thing done to it besides yours. Also how these things run E.Ts. how yours runs with a ls1 and if it will still will be able to go to the bad guys at the D.M.V. mine is my daily driver so I have to keep it smog leigal.I have seen in sport truck mag a canyon with a turbo, thats cool with 350horse 350tq.
I guess runs mid 13's.Any more colorados or canyons out there!

ls1 colorado update finally Sorry I didn't get back to anyone sooner,but trying to get all the bugs out. First of all it is a 1999 camaro ls1 with 6 speed trans, made all my own mounts, used stock driveshaft, my own custom exhaust. Got a painless harness and a 1998 pcm, The truck computer didn't like this idea at all, so I said you don't like the ride, get off. I had to rewire the dash and A/C controls, starting system and added my own gauges. Used an aluminum radiator and an electic fan (in front) and the rest will be history. It goes like crazy
, lots of wheel hop ( working on that ) gas mileage ain't that great
, but when I learn to keep my foot out of it , or my first ticket, I assume it probably will get better, was going to Superchevy this weekend but the kid had to work. Well that's about it, so good luck to anyone who is crazy enough to try this on such a new vehicle, OOOh I forgot I live in a area where the man doesn't sniff tailpipes.
