Before you drop a fuel tank on a pickup, consider unbolting then lifting the bed. It can give you access to the pump without the hassle of dropping the tank. You normally don't even have to remove the bed, just jack it up a foot or two on one side to give yourself room to work on the pump.

Love your videos! I have an 06 chevy colorado extended cab and a slightly different code (P0446) popped up one day. I had to replace the fuel pressure sensor on the gas tank. Was a relatively simple and cheap fix for $15 and 20 minutes. The fuel tank pressure sensor is mounted on the top of the pump module on the top side of the gas tank. It can be accessed, without dropping the tank, on a Std Cab or Ext Cab. You have to take the back driver side tire off and remove the wheel well skirting then you can see the top of the tank and the pump module and might have shown exactly where the leak is.

15 years old with almost 200k on it and it runs perfectly fine,doesn’t sound like such a bad vehicle to me. I like you Scotty but I think your a little harsh on GM sometimes.

I can't speak to the the long-term reliability because mine got totalled a few years in. But the S-10 wasn't exactly bulletproof either. Mine had plenty of issues, including a fuel filter that clogged way more than it should have, an electrical problem that caused the right side headlight to blink along with the turn signal. The rearview mirror would pretty regularly fall off the windshield, the dashboard plastic was cracked and disintegrated by the time it was 7-8 years old and the valves rattled pretty much from the time it was almost new. And the bow-tie Chevy logo fell off the grille the first time I washed it. I wouldn't say it was a "bad" vehicle by any means, it lasted me 8 years with pretty low cost of maintenance but I've owned Scion/Toyota/Nissan/Subaru since then and it was the "worst" out of all of them, if I had to pick a last place - and the Colorado would be ahead of it, too.

@@dommartelli5529 Uh, I wasn't talking about me, was I? I was talking about Scotty. I know more about cars and engineering than you ever will, child. I was a machinist mate in the US Navy, a mechanic (non-auto) and an electronics technician for decades. My cousin and uncle had a garage for forty years and I spent a lot of time there. Scotty is just another KZread blowhard with his own opinions. He amuses you so you think he's great. He knows how to fix cars but he exaggerates the differences between the best and the worst brands. I drive a 2000 GMC pickup precisely because it is cheap and easy to fix. Go back to your cartoons, sonny.

I have same issue on my truck. So far have been able to clear the code to make it pass inspection. Tried to replace some hoses and the fuel cap but no dice so far.

Make the time and fix it now before other problems are created. Especially the ABS issues. They could just need to be cleaned. Fix it right the first time. Scotty, did you bring the cat with you to Tennessee? Really like those tuxedo cats. Bring back the cat!

The ABS system could be the difference between close call or bad day. I agree Glen 💯 it should be repaired. Great name by the way and spelled correctly with one N. 😉

The timing chains on those are also a nightmare... its behind the motor so you have to take the engine out if you ever had to replace a chain

Hey Scotty, I failed California emissions test on my 94 K1500 because I was using a STANT locking gas cap and it wasn't completely sealing. It fit but I guess it just didn't seal as well. Had to get a non locking replacment that fit better in order to pass.

Thank You so much Scotty Kilmer, love your videos! Charismatic, compelling, honest , devoted, leader, YOU!

Scotty. Every county that touches Davidson county... except for Cheatham county has to pass emissions tests.

I have the same tool.. very helpful, I love it

I had the same code and replaced an emissions part below the intake manifold some kind of purge valve I think that ran to the evap canister and it fixed the problem

Been a while that it's been cold enough to cause you a Scotty snotty bubble? Lol. Plus is you get to finally get to wear your 1985 jean jacket, I have 3 of them too. Lol

He deserves about 20 mil subs!!😁

Earlier I was driving and the car started shaking a little, it was noticeable, and then a min later my accelerator stopped working and the car shaking got worse. I stopped turned off the car and turned it on. The accelerator working again but only for a couple of sec but this time the whole care shut off. Any idea?

I found it much easier to take 6 bolts out and remove the bed to access the evap canister. Two people can easily lift the bed off.

If Scotty can’t fix it, then there’s something very wrong

I love GM. Engine fault codes passed down from generation to generation.

I've had 2 front end collisions and what a difference air bags work compared to just seat belts. With the air bag no pain afterwards but with only the seat belt it felt someone hit me in the chest with a fastball. Took a couple weeks to feel pain free. I'll always fix the ABS from now on.

Hey question. I have a 2014 chevy sonic with a peculiar brake issue that none of the mechanics ive taken it to have been able to diagnose. Occasionally when i brake the pedal wont go down all the way and I'll here what sounds like grinding coming from my front driver's side wheel. Any advice?

Loosen all bed bolts, remove the ones on filler side, lift and support, easy access to pump etc without dropping tank

No Emissions testing in Clarksville, but in Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, and so on.

Did the ring that connects the pump to the gas tank rust out?

"a royal pain in the royal end" - that sums up Chevy vehicles.

Whats your thoughts on UV dye to find transmission leaks? Good or bad for the fluid/components

Would a bad ground cause a bcm to fry. My headlights stopped working and i checked the bcm and it was burnt, replaced it and it fried instantly?

I have 2. Honestly, both of the problems he mentioned are super easy to fix. Pull the bed to fix the evap problem (6-10 bolts) and the wheel sensors take about 40 minutes a side with basic hand tools. I've got 300k on my 04 Colorado and 220k on my 06 Canyon. Both are the 3.5. The Colorado is the ZQ8 sport and the Canyon is 4wd.

With almost 200k miles.....and it's in great shape....obviously a well built vehicle

I am still driving my 2006 Colorado 3.5 Inline 5 w/260k miles . Have been changing the oil about every 5k miles, no major problems. I have changed the alternator, batteries, spark plugs, one coil, planning on changing the remaining 4 coils, changed out the head gasket not that it needed it but one of the value stem gaskets went bad but that was after 200k miles so I replaced the whole set, other than that still running, great little truck IMO. Nothing last forever but they sure don’t build them like they use tool

It's better to pull the bed, also gives you a chance to treat the frame for rust or just hose it down with fluid film. Worked great on my '06.
