The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado service repair workshop manual delivers comprehensive coverage for all engine, transmission, and chassis systems on this midsize pickup. Whether equipped with the standard 2.5L four-cylinder, the powerful 3.6L V6, or the torquey 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel, every system is addressed with factory-accurate service procedures. Includes diagnostic workflows, wiring diagrams, torque specifications, and relearn procedures for the automatic transmissions, ABS module, and electronic throttle controls.
2017 Chevrolet Colorado Service Repair Workshop Manual
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The second-generation Chevrolet Colorado arrived for model year 2015 and continued strongly into 2017 as GMs answer to the growing midsize pickup truck segment. Built on GMs GMT31XX architecture shared with its sibling the GMC Canyon the Colorado offered a versatile platform that bridged the gap between compact unibody trucks and full-size half-ton pickups. It provided capable towing and hauling without the bulk and fuel penalty of a Silverado.
For 2017 Chevrolet offered three engine choices. The standard 2.5-liter Ecotec inline-four delivered adequate power for daily use. The available 3.6-liter V6 with direct injection generated 305 horsepower class-leading output at the time with excellent passing power on highways. The standout was the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel four-cylinder producing 369 lb-ft of torque giving the Colorado genuine towing capability up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
The cabin was surprisingly refined for a midsize truck with comfortable seating five touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and available leather trim. Off-road enthusiasts favored the ZR2 variant with Multimatic DSSV dampers electronic locking differentials and raised suspension geometry. The Colorado proved that midsize trucks could be work-capable daily-drivers and weekend adventure vehicles all in one package.
