    Anyone know if the Sierra hooks and Silverado hooks are interchangeable? The rough country site says it won't fit my truck but I can't imagine they are different.

    Only had it for 1 day now and have found myself "getting on it" more to hear that roar ?? I can't imagine it would affect the fuel economy that much but I'll update after a week or so with my findings.

    Those look great any links to what they are or where you got them?
  4. Dick Messerly
    That is weird I got mine from a local dealer for them. Might want to give that a try.
  5. Dick Messerly
    You have the 5.3L?
  6. Dick Messerly
    I do not think they make it in the carbon flash color. On the carbon pros it's still chrome for some reason I went with the removal option for it. IMO it's too cluttered with it. You could go with the plastidip method on them I did it on the chrome part of my rear gmc emblem. Plastidiping the Sierra part would be super easy though if you went that route. I'll check with my parts department and see if they can find anything.

    It's legitimately huge (yes those are 5 gallon buckets it's nearly as tall as one) I wasnt sure it would fit until it did. Here's a link to it for the 6.2L version. https://www.sbfilters.com/cold-air-intakes/silverado-sierra-1500-intake-75-5128?variant_id=431

    It can use up to 3 places to get air from. These on the side that pulls from the headlight/wheel well, the factory location, and there is a big panel on the side that pulls from the engine bay if I'm not mistaken but it does come with a cover for that one if you live in dusty or warmer environments.

    Been trying to decide which intake to do. I've always been a K&N guy and nearly went with them again until I had someone recommend S&B they weren't sure if they made one for the T1s yet but they do. She's a sexy beast and the filter that comes with it is gigantic! Sound is amazing you can hear her sucking all that air.

    They have a flake in them definitely a glossy metallic paint

    Finally got a better picture. I'm loving the emblem.

    I found it a thousand times easier popping the red out those plastic welds easily popped free for me. It was easier to get to the clips from the front unless you have any other suggestions to get the whole letter off?
  13. Dick Messerly
    Got mine done its definitely hard to see in the day but looks great at night! Like said above works perfectly fine for the 2019 and isn't too hard to install I'll get some better pics this was just after install
  14. Dick Messerly
    Got mine today any tips to on getting the GMC emblem off? Do you have to break them or is it possible to keep them?
  15. Dick Messerly
    Yeah those are the same parts numbers I put in the post earlier. I get employee price on parts which is a few bucks better than what I could find them for online.
  16. Dick Messerly
    What year is your truck? The emblem already looks soooooo much better without that chrome surround!
  17. Dick Messerly
    Awesome thank you for this post! It looks like the one you ordered came with the rear emblem too from the instructions it looks like both? I was talking with my parts manager at the dealership it looks like there are two options one that comes with the rear emblem and one without? Also it looks like it should work just fine for the 19 as well as the 20 is yours a 20? I'm pretty excited now!
  18. Dick Messerly
    Yeah I think im going to go illuminated. I'm not positive it will work its not a option in the 2019 accessories page. I know they are the same emblem but talking with my parts manager it may not have the right wiring harness but we just aren't sure until it shows up. I was planning on taking off the front emblem and plastidiping it but we got about a foot of snow and a cold snap down in the teens. I'll probably get it done here in a few days.

    Here's the ridge in the door I am talking about.
  20. Dick Messerly
    Here's a Pic of the packaging they come in I just lined up the top of that white foam to ridge on the door. They came off pretty easy just hit them with a heat gun for a few seconds (it's been very cold here) then fishing lined behind them they came right off hit it with the wheel cleaned with alcohol made sure it was dry then lined them up and stuck them on.
  21. Dick Messerly
    They come in this Styrofoam cut out that lines right up with the ridge in the metal of the door I'll grab a pick of it as well. I also used a suction laser level just to be sure but I had that laying around I'm not sure it was really even needed. My other option I was going to do was frame the old one with masking tape use that as my guide
  22. Dick Messerly
    84690478 is the bigger door one 84690479 is the smaller tailgate one.
  23. Dick Messerly
    Correct that's exactly what I had to do
  24. Dick Messerly
    One is for doors the other is tailgate. The doors are the same just had to order 2

    Just ran across this today. Has anyone installed the new illuminated GMC emblem on their truck yet? I'd like to know how the install is and what it actually looks like in a truck. What's everyone's thoughts on them? I'm thinking of getting one but I'm kind of on the fence with it being too much. Part number is 84741557
