Just guessing, but I would imagine that the guy bought a plain Billet grill with no cutout for an emblem, then bought a free standing emblem and attached it in the corner via...a.) studs, b) epoxy

I had Carriage works billet grill on my Silverado for 5 years and it looked just as good at the end of 5 years as it did when it was first installed. They make a good product. :thumbs:

I really like the look of the GMC grill with all of that open billet space. Does anyone know if there is a conversion to put a large billet grille like that into a NBS Silverado?

In a previous lift, I attached a Toyota logo to a grill with a nut, bolt, a couple washers, and some epoxy. Basically, epoxy the bolt head to the back of the emblem and let it set. Then stick the emblem bolt with a washer through the grill, tighten it on the other side with the nut and washer... easy peasy... works like a charm.

 

Or you could buy some 3m emblem tape :flag:

Sorry Reneck56 for the late reply..I was MIA for awhile.

 

As suggested here you can use epoxy and bolts, 3m emblem tape or do what I did.

 

Because my grill is SS and the tubes are round, I have very little surface area to glue anything to. I tried the 3m tape and either the emblem fell off or someone jacked it from my truck. So, here is what I did and as you see, 80k miles later it is still on there.

 

I took two large black surface zip ties (the industrial type ties, about 1/2 wide, get them at home depot) and anchored those to the emblem with a dab of gorilla glue and a very small screw as not to tap to far into the emblem.

I let that sit over night then just attached them to the grill with heavy duty tape between the zip tie and tube to keep it from moving/sliding.

 

From the front you cannot see any of this. A little janky I'll admit, but I had to improvise! :chevy:

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
