Still rather difficult to remove a damn grill

 

Vehicle design is only about how efficient / cost effective it is to assemble... not the other way around. ha

lmao exactly! Why did you have your grill out

My dealer swapped my Z71 grill for a chrome one in less then thirty minutes. Of course this wasn't there first rodeo.

found the tabs on the top to remove the cover.. Than there is 4 bolts on top.. 2 clips in middle... Each side.. Now there is 4 on bottom.. (10mm each) Can't get to... Read some where that says you have to Pull the painted peice off above bumper....

 

Yep. Start by removing bolts that hold painted trim in wheel wells (Silverado probably a little easier since you don't have black plastic fender flares).

 

Start pulling from corners to release snaps. Once you've got them loose to about the headlights, STOP! Slide under the truck head first where the front license plate would be. Behind the bumper about a foot up you'll see large painted plastic tabs (the lighter your paint, the easier they'll be to spot). If I remember right, there are 5 of them. Starting from one side, release them from under the truck & give each a slight push. Once all are loose, you can easily finish removing the trim standing in front of grille.

 

*Note: in the very beginning, after you pull back the corners, wrap them in a rag/towel. They flex/bounce around a bit if you're doing this job solo & can snap back against the paint. I found this out the hard way the 2nd day I had my truck. Put a 1" scratch on the fender!

Your a savior!

I like those also, easy install? Do you have them wired to come on as DLR?

 

TIA,

Mike

yup, i have them wired it as DRL.. They're only on when the key is on position and dim when they parking light is on to reduce the brightness

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
