Can I pop out the red gmc center on the emblem or is it glued down? I'm in between doing either a wrap or doing plasti dip on my emblems I like the idea of wrapping it better but can these be pooped out the red lettering ad694768a499d226a7ce91fe391fdeab.jpgd345217dae2c93506e795a3737de674d.jpg

Instead of debadging, I blacked out all my emblems with plasti dip. Did mine in December/ January and still looks great!

I found a metal putty knife pops it off. I got one about an inch and a half that had a little flex to it and it worked perfect. Another member here recommended it to me and my badge turned out great. Just felt better having it off and being able to dip it. Good luck

Did you heat it? Or did it just pop out...

It just pops out, didn't have to heat it. Their are tabs that it snaps into. Probably best to do it on a hot day since it is plastic. At first I was a bit hesitant but just take your time and they will pop right out. I have the basic grille though so hopefully all the emblems snap in the same way

The front pops out, the rear is held with double stick tape. Once off and flipped over, you can carefully drill out the white posts and the red GMC will pop out from the chrome. Then you can do whatever you want to it, I painted mine. Afterwards snap the G M C pieces back in, use some model car glue on the backside posts and reapply to the truck.

I put 4 coats of plastic-dip followed by 2 coats of Glosifier on both my front and rear emblems. I also added the Z71 logo to the bottom left of my front grill (got the idea from another member). I'm still debating on debadging the emblem on the tailgate.

And it peeled off the chrome nice?

Yes, there is a natural break between the chrome and red on the emblem. The trick is to take it slow, don't try to rush it. Also, I would tape off and cover more area around the logo than the guy in the video does, it just saves you the hassle of having to remove overspray. The front emblem took a little longer to prep than the rear one also.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
