Sadly even if I take the emblem off there's going to be blank plastic backing still on the grill since its part of the mold, since I don't have a z71 I don't want to have that emblem on

I would have never thought the emblem was molded to the grille. I just assumed it was clamped on just like my LTZ.

Picked her up from Line-X today and it came out great! Looks like new again! Here are some quick pictures I took before I begin reassembling her over the next couple days.

 

Grille with Anthracite Gray accents that will be featured throughout the truck.

I hate the grille emblems, it was nice to learn it's just a simple double push tab.

That looks really good. How much weight do you think it added?

joined the aftermarket wheel club!!

 

Fuel mavericks 20" with a +14 offset

 

BFG KO2 tires in 275/60R20 i have a 1.5" motofab leveling kit so far no rubbing!!

Also the offset on these is nice for someone that wants it to sit as close to stock looking without any rubbing. the tires in the last pic show to be just at the wheel well there is almost no tire sticking past the wells. thats the look i like but if you want it to stick out further def look into your offset!

I have no clue nor do I care. It's already a heavy pig so a couple more pounds won't hurt anything.

I hose clamped the flapper open on mine and the whistle is gone!!! Great advice guys, I really appreciate it. The sound is great, only a hair louder but very clean sounding. f823165e8defc21ee7cde02540d1f63f.jpgb045c1e1786018ead850a0c05a16a85d.jpg I also gave it one more bath before the road trip back to socal. And the windows are being tinted as I'm typing this. 20% front to match the rear and 70% windshield

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
