still dont get it or like it.

I just took off the the Silverado emblems. I figure they only have on full size truck and it's not needed on every side. Cleans it up some with out making it just plain. Also took off the cheap looking Z71 stickers on the bed sides. Just left the moldings on the sides. The front has Chevy emblem with Z71 while rear had the Chevy emblem with LTZ. Both emblems are now color matched also. I'm with you nothing is to to plain but it shouldn't be a Silverado billboard either.

 

Also, the fishing line and peel method works great then just use gas to get residue off. After, polish and wax those areas after.

I know some trim levels have them, but considering the price of these trucks be nice if things like the 4x4 and Z71 are actual chrome emblems. Kind of ridiculous to pay the extra 2 grand for a Z71 when in reality your paying two grand for two stickers, because really that's all your getting extra

The package is more than just the stickers and emblems.

 

Comes with Rancho shocks, tow hooks, transfer case skid plate, hill decent control, the G80 auto locking diff in the rear, "Z71" in the RPM gauge and on the door sill, and the brush aluminum looking trim pieces.

Im talking extra, I dont have Z71 this time around nor an LTZ and I still have most of that. Again the Z71 package much like Fords Fx package has turned into nothing. So yor paying 2 grand for emblems a skid plate and maybe some better shocks, which I debate because from what I have seen the rancho shocks make for a rougher ride, and you cant have them to get max towing anyways. Most Z71s I see arent going off road. waste of money if you ask me, another marketing scheme to get foolish buyers to spend money on.

The 3M adhesive eraser wheel made life so easy. I started the Silverado on the sides without and it was very tedious and no matter how careful you put fine scratches in the black paint so buffing is part of the process. Did the tailgate with the wheel no time at all and much safer. This is my go to product for this job.

Looks a lot cleaner. Easy and cheap mod. My 4x4 decals along with dealer sticker were off within minutes of purchase. The rest came off the week later.

good point thanks for clarifying. But it proves my point of what you are actually getting or not getting.

... bit the bullet and took off everything but the All Terrain badge. the only badges left are the All Terrains on the doors and rear.

Debadged

 

In brighter news (joking) when i removed the dealer insignia from the bottom left of my tail gate, underneath it is a 2 inch long & DEEP razor blade looking cut right into the paint. I find it hilarious they put their label right over it. You can't see it in the photo because i waxed it and the angle/lightning is crap but i need to def get some touch up paint for that puppy.

 

Also... i used fishing line to get the badges off and cleaned up with GOOF OFF. Funny part is i read online afterwards that GOOF OFF destroys paint... is this a myth? my paint is perfect, like literally came out smooth as a babies behind.

It is great for cleaning up paints at the paint Store but dries paint my different. As long as you cleaned and wax it it should no longer have an effect

Looks good, but that badge in the tailgate looks lost. It should go.

I do agree that the tailgate looks off balance with just the all terrain badge, but I suggest to take it off and put a new one under the tailgate handle where the GMC badge was. It's my OCD lol.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
