My tailgate is totally debadged. Only sticker I have is the Michigan ORV sticker for the dunes. I kept the door lettering cause I like it.

I'm thinking of taking my Z71 stickers off. I would rather have the clean look of them off since everything else on the truck is off. I'm debating on putting one of these in the front grille and one on the tailgate with the big stickers gone. What do you guys think?

remove everything! completely debadged is CLEAN!

 

 

 

 

Until you look down the side of the truck, and nothing grabs your attention anymore excpet for the wavy bedside just above the wheels. I took my 4x4 decals off, and all I could see after that was the wavy sheet metal. So I put different ones on to take my eye off of it.

Huh? don't know what you're talking about but decals and stickers just look lame. clutter up the lines of the truck and are unecessary

 

 

 

 

That's your opinion... Anyhow, take a look down the side of your truck sometime on the bedside right around where the bedside is formed to make the fender well. It will have wavy sheet metal. Same way with the tailgate along the bottom. It's easier to see if you have a darker paint color. I never noticed it on my white one that I had, but every Silverado I've looked at since I saw it on mine is like that. Even the HD's

Haven't really noticed this.

 

 

I know every one I look at has it. I guess it wrinkles some whenever they stamp the panel because it's so thin. It's also easier to see at certain angles, and depending on the sun outside too.

havent noticed it either...just went out to look at my truck and still didn't see it :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Should be there. I just had one pass me on the interstate at 65 mph and I noticed it. I'll try to get a pic of mine if it'll show up. It's nothing major but it's noticeable.

The left sticker is the Honda Goldwing Emblem, the one on the right is Harley Davidson.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.

      IF,IF,IF. If they cared about quality instead of profit and this applies to any company, what a concept.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By Christopher Miller · Posted

      Good Morning Gents..hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful saturday morning. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that I bought used in 2018. I am the 2nd owner and its a beautiful truck. Ive put about 60,000 miles on it and recently the front end has felt funny. Kind of loose when hitting bumps adn sometimes I actually feel a "bang" in the steering wheel. I took it to a local guy who said that everything was tight and he tightened the steering box. It didnt feel much better, so I had him replace the front shocks, which had noto been done since I bought it. It had the check enging light on so I took it into a local garage to fix that and check out the suspension. Everything is original and the rubber bushings that I can see look bad. They said everything was tight and there wasnt any play in the front end. Im concerned about the banging feeling in the wheel. Ive been driving this truck for 8 years, so I know how it usually feels and this is something new. Its a second vehicle, so I dont drive it all the time, but Im trying to use it more often. I live out in the country and some of the  roads are kind of rough and I alive on gravel roads. Anyone deal with anything like this before?

      Well, 2 no-bid contracts to donors didn't seem to result in a good job...
