    Heck the Honda already has great power-I like more power

    Both now have 6 speed trannys so its a draw there

    Edit: Colorado has 8 speed ?

    Until I am happy with the box it will be Virtualbox with several Systems including Winblows 10 and several versions of openSuse Leap including 43.3 Alpha

    ETA: For sh**s and giggles I might try generating a new DOS/VS release 34 supervisor under Hercules if I can find everything on my backup system. I can somewhat remember how long it took on the 4meg IBM 4341 M2.

    I have one in the Trailblazer. Got it about 4+ years ago, and still started strong all this winter. Got good reviews when I bought it.

    One of the projects I had to get done before leaving for training next week. Sewn by hand and basically just enough to keep them on - wouldn't survive regular usage. The training is Harley Officer Training, so I need to be identifiable by chapter while I'm there.

    Except about $38K. Its been nice having no truck payment for a few years. I'm afraid I would like it and get the urge to trade in :confused:

    EDIT:
    HA !! You read my mind-I posted before seeing this :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I can see me talking myself into upgrading-Hmmm, the Honda had 160K, the tranny hiccups once in a while and those trannys are known to not last much past 100k while not being rebuildable, it needs tires and a windshield to pass inspection this month, My Honda is still worth decent $$ for trade in and that wont last much longer.

    Ive never had anything more than a 5 speed. How does the extra gears translate to speed/power and smoothness of shifting?

    Oh and the torque converter vibrates under light load at mid speeds (35ish mph), This is a known issue for Honda for a long time that doesnt really cause a problem-just drive it that way but its annoying. I had a previous vehicle where the dealer replaced the converter twice and it was coming back a third time, now I ignore it on this truck.
