I'm not a fan of the badging in fact I want to do some debadging on my truck...

Word

 

I totally respect your opinions and have seen a bunch of threads with some best practices on how to debadge if you haven't looked into it already. I see a lot of ricers and imports in high school parking lots near me that are fond of that practice which has totally turned me off to doing it.

 

IMO I'm a firm believer in being proud of what I drive. Wearing the bowtie and Silverado lettering is more of an honor than a bother for me.

Probably nobody is prouder than me to drive a Silverado LTZ but trying to wax around all those letters and stickers drives me jackbatty.

Caught me (old fart) ?. And that's why I "reduced" badging to just the Texas Edition on the doors, and bowtie, LTZ and Silverado on the tailgate. Removed dealer logo and flex fuel from tailgate and Silverado from doors. I like what I call "a balanced badge look"...meaning balance between everything and nothing. And never, ever put stickers anywhere...Tom, I do really like your look and every time I see it or wax, I reconsider my view point...lol

2015 bought 5 weeks ago. No "SILVERADO" under mine... All my badges are now in the trash. I paid good money for my truck, I don't need to advertise for GM :)

Same here...have a 2014 TX edition and the first thing to go was all the advertisements (except front bowtie). Looks MUCH cleaner w/o em.

It could be worse, I am young and like chrome, everyone buys a Danali and removes all the chrome and I love it the way it is.

This is why I want to do it! I'm gonna keep the GMC logos for sure, probably the Sierra Logos too but, I think everything else will go.

So I put them on yesterday. I ordered a pair from Amazon for around $20. I cleaned the truck and put them on. Very happy with the look.

 

Figured I'd put them on and if I felt they were too much I could always take them off.

 

Thanks everyone for your input!

Guys, the OP knows they stopped dual badging (Texas Edition along with either Silverado or Sierra) in later build 2014 models. He just likes it this way...

My 2015 is texas edition and it does not say Sierra on the sides

Hey CoachRiddla, thanks for your input. As chuckl1218 states, another member has let us know that this dual badging was discontinued around October of 2013 and after that, the trucks just had the Texas Edition badge on them. Since they were only made this way for a few months specifically for the Texas market so I doubt I'll bump into another one up here in NY.

 

So far I like the look but if I get tired or decide it's too much I can always remove them. For $20 and a little bit of my time I thought it was worth a shot.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
