I pulled my stock Z71 sticker because, well, I hated the colors of it with my brown truck. I am not agaist having one and have been asked a few times is that a 2wd? Not hate on 2wd at all. I have owned one and loved it, until winter came. I just don't want to be asked this question, anymore. :thumbs:

 

So here is the link to one I found on ebay. Really like it and it goes with my color scheme. Black and brown on the truck with siver/gray back window stickers. (GM-Trucks.com sticker and Black Bear Performance)

 

Let me have your opinions or maybe someone has been looking for one like this and I just found it for them. :wtf:

first,..why does everyone on this forum want everyone elses "opinion"???

 

your gonna get a 50/50% mix of answers.

 

Do "you" like the sticker???...then thats all that matters. If your questioning it,..then Id say your skeptical about the black on brown.

 

 

second,..(imo), it looks better than the stock logo.

 

 

..off note ..I, myself am replacing mine with a custom one froma local sign shop. It will be a "ghost" type that will blend in with the color of the truck.

It looks o.k., but now people are gonna be like your truck didn't come factory with z71, you just want it to look cool like a z71. IMO, I would leave it as it is, it looks nice and clean and that looks great!!!!! As long as it's not a redneck one with a deer antler or hoof prints on it and a rebel flag, now those are just trashy.

It did come factory,..he said he took it off.

 

only a Z71 comes with 18" wheels,...just another way to tell.

I know it came factory, but people, you know, some people are gonna think it's fake because it's not a factory sticker. It looks like a factory sticker, but the colors are wrong. All z71 badges I have seen are red and gray.

Well if I and others did not want anyone elses opinion, or did not want to give my opinion, we probably wouldn't be on this forum. Just saying.

 

I like to hear what other's think then use the applied opinions to help make a choice. Typically it is a mixed bag of 50/50 but someone might offer something I didn't know or a point that proves useful.

 

Thank you for the comments. I took it off in the first place to be clean. I have debadged all my other trucks, this one being less, I left some on. Just on the fence after finding one that looks better than ok.

Those are all on my mod list!

Looks good! I am thinking of taking mine off too. Just gives the truck a little cleaner look IMO.

I like clean looking trucks, but one thing GM has done in the past few gens of trucks is make the decals fit the truck well and look good. Your truck looks great now, but I think the decal you found would look great. Personally, I would put that decal on my truck, but it's your truck, so do what you want.

not bad, have you thought about a camo colored one. That may look good on your color truck too.

 

Also what color blackbear sticker did you end up with? I got a silver one but I put it on my craftsman toolbox in the garage.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
