I think with that color debadged would look better, nice truck.

It definitely wasn't that easy removing the one GMC badge from my tailgate. GM must use some serious tape these days..

 

I was bummed to read this, just noticed tonight that my tailgate GMC logo was applied crooked (truck is 4 days old). Bugs me, want to remove.

3M Adhesive remover.. It is easy just takes about 10-15 minutes.

Thank you - seems like this is the way to go.

 

On the doors there are two badges: "all terrain" and then stacked directly above is the "kodiak edition" badge - too much. Will buy some 3M Adhesive remover tomorrow.

I removed all of my tailgate badging not soon after I bought the truck but I got lazy and have not got to the sides yet. Plan on removing the silverado on the doors but on the fence about the Z71 sticker.

I washed, clayed, and waxed my black truck over the last few evenings and now I am on the fence about removing the "silverado" on the doors. I like the clean look but I also like the silver on the black background.

I de-badged and de-chromed the side of my truck. Hated the High Country badges and the 4x4 bedside decal. I also replaced the chrome side molding with 2.5" painted moldings. I left the tailgate badging intact except for the dealer logo and bowtie. I planned to replace the bowtie with the black one from the the GM accessory set, but decided that I liked it better without..

 

I had a hard time removing the adhesive residue. I with I had known about the 3m adhesive remover wheel when I did it.

I tried Dupont Prepsol solvent which turned everything into a gooey mess. I ended up doing the finger rub to work off the

residue, of course this led to several blisters.

Where did you get painted moldings? Thanks.

Mine are made by Dawn Enterprises (www.dawn-ent.com) I got them from a random seller on Ebay. I think I saved about $10-$20 off of MSRP and got free shipping. You provide them with the paint code and it takes about 2 weeks to receive them. My impression is that they are painted to order.

 

I really like them. I put them on my wife's 2010 Terrain which came without body side moldings. The color match to the Terrain Mocha Steel and my Deep Ocean Blue were both excellent.

You just made my day. I have chrome side moldings but have wanted color badly. That's the only place I want molding in order to prevent door dings.

 

 

Another tip and you have to be careful is to use a plastic razor blade to remove the adhesive. It works well on goey, solvent-softened adhesive. I do recommend swirl mark remover afterwards for any micromarring.

Take a look at the website. I just looked and there are a whole bunch of molding options. Color, chrome w color stripe, color w chrome stripe, color w different color stripe, engraved Silverado lettering.

 

Also noticed the website color selection does not include Deep Ocean Blue Metallic, but I supplied the Ebay seller with the paint code and they delivered the correct color.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
