GMC Emblem Swap

New to the forum here. Everyone seems great and to be knowledgeable.

 

I wanted to swap out my GMC emblems for solid black ones. It seems there are several different part numbers (96500k, 96501k, ...) and they all look like the same part. Also are the grill and tailgate emblems the same? Below are a few I found.

Can't say for the GMC, but when I ordered the Bowties for mine I saw on a Youtube vid that the grille and tailgate emblems have different amount of bend in the middle so they are different. You'll probably have a lot say to just plastidip, but I didn't mind paying for mine. They're aluminum and I don't have to worry about re dipping every few years. I got mine from another website, I think it was autoanything but I can't remember. At least for the Silverado they had every paint color and also if you got it in black you had a choice between matte and gloss. It looks like on that link that they offer a set so you get both the grille and tailgate emblem.

Thanks for the reply. I had a friend dip his, but I really want the gloss finish to match the paint better. I did see one that specifically said tailgate. Just couldn't tell any difference from the pictures or description.

    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
