Hi, I am on the lookout for a Colorado manual diesel and would appreciate opinions on the pros and cons of the d4d vs the earlier engine .
From what I have gathered so far the earlier engines can have head gasket problems although that issue is more common with an auto so may not affect me
The d4d is more powerful and economical so the obvious choice as far I am concerned but the local mechanic I use warned me they suffer with injectors which he reckons could be more of a problem !
From what I have gathered from the forum it is the injector seals that fail , surely this would not be an expensive preventative measure ??
Thought I would get the best advice from club members !!!!!
Cheers Jim
