Oh. I didn't realize it was a spray can still. Name is a little misleading. Thought something got dipped. Whoops.

These look cool but I'm always worried about removal without damaging things and then correctly putting it back on so it won't fall off. Are you buying new badges with proper adhesive or somehow installing your own adhesive on afterwards?

It does not. It's been mentioned in this thread already.

I just finished mine, looks good. Went with red opposed to black even though the truck is Onyx Black. There's enough red on the truck as accents already that I didn't want to have to go and make everything black as it would have bothered me. Just to give some bit of experience from my install: Took me 60-90 min actually, which seems to be considerably longer than most here but still not bad. I spent a lot of time trying to route the wires and harness as best as possible to avoid seeing it through the grill. Probably spent 20-30 min on that alone. I did end up routing it similar to pictures from the 1st page incidentally. Was difficult to squeeze through there but got it done. Even after disengaging the clip on the headlight hardness, it was still very difficult to get it out. Probably another 15-20 min here as well. I don't know if my hands are bigger or something but it's just difficult to gain any sort of leverage. I'm sure it would have been easier if you removed the headlight assembly per the instructions but even with the wasted time, I was happy not to have to remove the headlight assembly. Taking the black cover off between/over the grill and radiator is essential to a successful install. Removing the grill might have made things a bit easier, and I'm not sure it is very difficult to remove. I saw 3-4 bolts but it looked fairly simple. In hindsight, I probably should have removed it but it isn't required. Saving the existing emblem is only possible if you remove the grill in my humble opinion. Disengaging all the clips on the existing emblem seems very difficult to do without damaging them if the grill is still installed and the red inlays are still in. Prying the red out of the chrome surround makes it easy but you will destroy the existing emblem this way. No way around it. I actually broke two small flat screwdrivers trying to pry out the red. Tips of them snapped clean off. They were cheaper screwdrivers but still, it's a tight fit. Should have just went at it with a bigger screwdriver not caring about damaging them because they cannot be saved. Overall impression: They are not terribly noticeable in the daylight, which I like. I haven't seen them in the dark yet but it's a good amount of light to not be obnoxious but still give it some pop. Another user mentioned that the chrome surround is lost and that it looks better. I agree. The grill on my AT4 doesn't have much chrome really except the emblem. It's a darker more subdued grey for the most part in other areas. This makes the emblem fit better on the front end for sure, visually. Unless you really like the chrome. I know many other Sierras go full chrome in a lot of places (like the Denali) so if you like that look, you might think it's a small step back. If you have an AT4 though, it's perfect, as they eliminated a lot of the chrome on that trim.

Do you like it? Was it worth the price of about ~$575 depending on the day/website? Are you using it for work? Tailgating? Just curious. Behemoth of a truck, congrats. I'm fine with my 1500 AT4, heh.

Has anyone done the install themselves? I was watching an install video and it includes drilling 4 holes into the tailgate. Being in a snow riddled area (Chicago) I always worry about opening up possible corrosion opportunity. I suppose if the tailgate is aluminum it's less of a deal though.

There's a black one in case everyone didn't already know: https://www.shopchevyparts.com/exterior/2020-sierra-1500-illuminated-gmc-emblem-black-gmc-logo-front-grille/84741559-p-92307028.html I've got a black AT4 and I've been considering going all black but the tow hooks are red and the 4 on the AT4 is red so there will always be a little red....decisions. Probably leaning towards going red?

That looks....pretty great. I've got a black AT4 and I just might pick this up.

Well, it's 4. You should call them back up and ask about the Brake recall I mentioned. (N192268090) There are 2 apparently. One for Brake Life % and one for malfunction.

That's interesting. I do see the recalls now on the website and I also have 2 but they are these: N192273510 - Loose Alternator Cable N192268090 - Brake System Malfunction Warning I do NOT have N192264451 but I wonder if that's because I had it fixed already. I wouldn't expect them to be that "on the ball" quite frankly, but maybe they have an OTA system capable of this. Just because I had it fixed prior to an official recall.

Is there something else? A bulletin isn't the same as a recall. Just curious because mine was fixed months ago and I never had a recall about it. Since it's just something visual and not safety related, I can't imagine it was an actual recall.

Pretty sure they replace if over 6K but I was also well under

Seems awfully coincidental it has all of the exact symptoms wouldn't you say?

He's incorrect. There are a handful of TSB mentioned here. I believe one of them was for Cadillac only. I'm sorry you have a bad dealer/advisor :-(

It's well documented already that this is a known software issue. For the people posting the "me too" posts, just read up. Take it back to the dealer and they will fix for free. Provide the TSB referenced several times in this thread as it doesn't seem like the dealers themselves are very good at searching for this issue if they weren't already made aware. I had mine addressed months ago and I'm still sitting at 96/98 as expected.

I had it applied in mid-August and it's been working great so far. Sometimes you have to hand the dealer the TSB if you have it as most of them aren't really great at looking things up. It's just easier for them to say nothing is available when they search once and find nothing.

We've been talking about it for a bit and I got the update a couple weeks ago now.

This isn't true. Have you read the last few pages at all?

Are you sure about not being able to reset? I haven't attempted it yet but it looks like I can on my AT4 unless it blocks it at the end.

I got my truck back today and they updated the brake system per the TSB mentioned earlier in this thread. Obviously not long enough to make any decisions yet.

Honestly, that's what's most weird about this. I'm not sure how this wouldn't just be wrong for everyone, all or nothing kind of a thing. Must mean they broke it midway through at some point.

It's things that don't truly matter. Apps and such like navigation, weather, radios, etc. You aren't getting updates to critical systems or monitoring OTA.

I'm actually not even sure why this is being discussed. It's safe to assume that 99% of software changes have to be done by a dealer and not OTA. Just assume that. We're not trying to get an update to the Weather app, c'mon people.

My dealer confirmed that the TSB applies to my 2019 AT4 and is running the software update. For other reasons, u won't have it back today, but just updating the thread.

I dropped my AT4 off at the dealer this morning for an intermittent code being thrown P3506. They spent all day on it and can't figure out why it comes and goes. They still have it and didn't look at the brakes yet. Also had the passenger side mirror chattering when I switch it to reverse instead of turning down and stopping. Apparently they think they need to replace the entire mirror for this behavior and GM is dodgy approving these...I'm sure it'll get fixed but the damn thing has 400 miles on it. If it has to get replaced, GM is replacing it. Anyway, no progress on the brake life issue for me yet. Maybe tomorrow.
