That sounds like it would run decent! I had an 05' 5.3 rcsb and with just a few mods it was real fun.

Yup, I was looking at EBAY one afternoon for V-8 swapped Colorodo's, and came off finding a factory 5.3 V-8 4 door 2 wd truck. Nice to see finally GM put a V-8 in a small truck.

Damn near 30k for a factory 5.3l Colorado, they (GM) are getting their money for installing the V-8 huh? It would be a tough truck, I'd wanna RCSB though, not a quad or ext. cab.
