Ok, just picked up a new-to-me 07 SLT and the clowns put on THREE tramp stamps, and a full width banner on the back window :(

Normally I wouldn't mind that much but this was the worst dealer I've ever dealt with, quite frankly I'm embarrased I gave them my buisness, I wouldn't send my worst enemy back there. Their just lucky they were the only ones with a truck with the options/color/mileage I wanted.

 

Anyways... Any advide for removing them? There just the standard machine cut vinyl. The ones on the paint im not worried about, I've done tons of those with a heat gun before. Its the one on the glass I'm wondering about. Its still below freezing up here so I'm scared to go near the glass with the heat gun. (CRACK)

Use a razor blade and scrape it off. It should just peel off in the cold.

Take it in somewhere warm, use a hair drier (don't heat to much or the tempered glass will explode)

and start on a corner of the vinyl and you should be able to just pull it off. If you use a razor blade

make sure it is new and use glass cleaner as a lubricant as you can leave hairline scratches on the glass.

Any idea on how to get the ones off the paint? I have one on the tailgate and isn't a vinyl type decal I don't know the material but each letter is its own piece.

I always use a heat gun to warm em up and then just peel them off. Though I have heard a hair dryer works as well like PGDriver suggested. Then either use some goo gone or wash it a few times and your decals and the adhesive is gone.

For the windows you want a razor blade held at a very low angle and a glass cleaner like Windex. The Windex acts as a lubricant to keep the blade from scratching the glass.

Sadly, this thread is not about what I thought it was going to be about. :(

 

Just happy I wasn't the only one thinking that.

If the vinyl was put on relatively recently you shouldn't even need a razor, you can get it off just fine by peeling it. Park the truck in the sun and let the sun beat down on the window for a couple hours, that helps a bit but I don't know how much it can do in the cold.

Eventually you learn to tell them not to bother with them. We dont have to have front plates here but some dealers drill them on and put dealer logo plates on the front.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
