rmay,
Just curious, what in particular makes you say it's perfect for engine-off-coasting? I do plan on doing that, BTW. On my commute there are several
very safe places to do that. I had an '05 5-spd Vibe and was able to get 47 mpg out of it using EOC.

busypaws,
Thanks for the reply. Both my trucks have mechanical fans and both are going to get deleted (already bought the electrical fans for the Trailblazer SS). Here is what I have planned for the Colorado,

mech fan delete
warm air intake
tires to 40 psi
scan guage
using EOC in safe areas
