Is this just a myth or does anyody actually know if its being considered ?

 

Supposedly it's a concept, but I really doubt it'll make production.

Hell, I'd be happy just with a 5.3L option like the TrailBlazer EXT (or whatever) has.

 

Yeah, i agree.....those trucks would be pretty peppy with a v8 inside

 

it would be nice to have an afordable lightning killer and somethin to replace the sy/ty but theyre not that smart.

 

Dodge Dakota R/T killer!!!!!!!!!!! and the Crappy lightning.

 

A V8 in one of those would be sweet. My nephew is thinking about a Colorodo. If there is a chance a V8 could come in one I'm gonna tell him to hold off on getting one. I hope it's more than a concept.

 

I believe the new trailblazers will have the option of the ls2, at least the new SS one will. Also, I dunno about an ls2, but I did see someone who put an ls1 into a colorado at the Berger show this past fall. Pretty cool idea for sure.

 

Well, does anyone know of any current mods that are avialable for the colorado, such as forced ind., spray, stall or anything ?

 

id like to see some sort of v8 in the colorado, 4.8,5.3. Ls2 would ba killer but over kill

 

From what I have heard this is going to happen. All we can do is hope

 

Has anyone heard anything else about it? It would definitely be my next vehicle if they made it!

 

I was hoping my nephew could hold out till I got some good news about one of these coming out but his old truck finally quit so we will be going to look around tomorrow to buy one.

 

from what I have heard it cant happen at least to be cost effective and mass produced. it is pretty hard to get everything under the hood.

 

it's not like the Dakota R/T is fast... and please explain why the Lightning is crappy?

 

I for one would like to see it happen, but I dont think it would happen. It would be an awesome vehicle, but it probably wouldnt justify the production costs. Oh well.......

 

Give me a couple years

 

Hey, I have good customer of mine that is a manufacture of headers & motor mounts for alot of different things. He has been talking about putting together an LS1 swap kit for the Colorado. Think it would fly? If he does it I can assure you it will have everything you could possably need, & be for a fair price. Let know your thoughts everyone!!

 

I bet they put in the 4.8. If GM can half-*** anything they do. Look what they did to that poor bloated SSR. That came out with a 5.3...they just corrected that I think.

 

Yes, the 2005 model has a LS2 in it... but with the truck weighing in at 4780 lbs, it's not like it did a whole ton of good.

 

I think there are some people out there interested in something like this.... me being one of them... a great place to push it might be http://www.coloradofans.com - that's a Colorado / Canyon owner's site.
