My head gasket developed a leak and it would be 2k to fix. I got 10.9k for my Camaro on a trade towards a fully loaded 2016 Z71 Colorado. My out the door price was 20.2k. Not too bad. It has been fun. I will miss my Camaro and getting information from you all. Still sad that a car that is 6 years old had so many failures, but so many great times!

How many miles on it when the head gasket failed? Definitely not a common failure on this engine....

They discovered it at 67k. It was 6 years and 1 month old . Chevy would not do anything. I still have passionf or the cars, but it is a waste to spend 2k on a 6 year old car with no guarantees on the work and the LLT known to many issues such as timing chain and oil ingestion killing the engine. Either way miss my ride, but love my new one!

Here are some pictures. It is fully loaded weather trim mats, rock n lock bed cover, bed liner, side steps, and bose sound system. It used with 5k miles. The guy that traded it in couldn't pull it behind his new camper. I know it sounds backwards but I know him personally.

Timing chains definitely most common issue on the 3.6 from what Ive seen.

Sweet truck man, not a fan of running boards (just my two cents) but really like the new Colorado, especially the quad cab.

My wife needs them to get in and out.
