The Following is a GM direct letter to owners of the Colorado's and Canyon's listed years 04-06, both 4 cylinder 2.8L and 5 cylinder 3.5L trucks. Breakdown of specific Vin inclusion as follows.
Note: This condition may be diagnosed through several DIY methods.
(1) let the truck sit at idle for about 30min. if equipped with aux. and access. equipment such as A/C, systems, lights ect. Enable all. Observe trucks idle; a rough idle should lead to further diagnosis.
(2) A compression check can be used, though more invasive than a cylinder leak-down test. Either will work. Observe compression/pressurized cylinder for a decline in pressure within, be sure the cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke as you are testing it.
***WARNING*** If you are not experienced in performing these tests bring you truck to a dealer, leave it to them. It is free as covered in attached Scans of the GM direct Recall, and letter to owner.

V.I.N. Locations are on various parts of our trucks. the simplest to find is underneath the glass, by the drivers side of the windshield; If difficult to read as it sometimes becomes, another copy of the VIN is on the inside of our drivers side doors. I believe a third is also in the Glove Compartment where our vehicle specific information is held.
