I removed the Sierra lettering off of both doors and SLE from tailgate. It took me an hour to remove one side and about thirty on the other. It was warmer outside with the latter door and the adhesive came off much quicker. As far as the badge on fender, I haven't decided yet. I will say that with a black truck the lettering outline is still visible if you really look for it. Any ideas on how to get this off? I used turtle wax adhesive remover and it worked fine.

Clay bar it, then use adhesive remover again. After, wash & wax the area.

I took my Sierra to a detail shop and had them take it off and clean the truck. Looks sharp now

Slick...have a white Sierra and am debating doing the same; perhaps even leaving the big GMC on the tailgate and removing the rest.

I used dental floss, peeled the tape off with my fingers, and used goo gone, then waxed on the 2011 I had. Looked like it was never there.

I took off the GMC tailgate logo.... took hours. What a PITA. I had a heat gun... but wish I had that wheel thing.

also took off the GMC logo with fishing line... talk about painful is right.

I would like to remove the decals on the read side quarters. Any ideas?

 

Or is the hair dryer really that easy?

OK, I just finished de-badging the back of my truck. It took me a couple of days. Here's what I did.... I used fishing line to take off the SILVERADO and LT. Those were pretty easy. The left over double sided tape was easy to remove. I removed most of the left over with my fingers pretty easily. I then sprayed some goo-gone and it and it was clean. The difficult part was the Chevy bow tie. I used the ol' fishing line trick to take off the plastic piece, then I was left with A LOT of tape. And it was very difficult to get off! I was chipping away at it for a few days then I decided to get serious about it. I went to Napa auto parts and bought a eraser wheel ($13). I attached it to my cordless drill and went to work. IT WAS AWESOME!!! That eraser wheel makes it sooooo easy! I highly recommend that to anyone trying to do this. Good luck.

Has anyone removed the badges from their truck? Easy process?

Took everything off but the side moldings using fishing line, my wife's hair dryer and 3M Trim Adhesive Remover. Pretty simple and looks damn good!! It's a lot easier to wax too:).

I used spray and wax so far (that's all I had here). But tomorrow I'll go and but some real wax to put on it.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
