DaFaq?!? I am an enthusiast as are most people on these boards. I would not laugh unless it was a horrible job. I would love to see you laugh at one of Fonzi's Porches with a color changing dip job.

not enough to count in the context of an emblem or two. Also I grew up around a paintshop you would be surprised how many times the pros use a rattlecan for touch ups. there are even empty cans / devices you spray and pressurize yourself for touchups.

 

Walk into any pro paint shop and I guarantee you will find these or something similar:

If I was just going to have the truck for a short time I would do plasti-dip. But, I plan on keeping this truck for over a decade so I just prefer replacing them with a painted aluminum piece (full bowtie on front to get rid of the trim and just the insert for the tailgate to keep the trim). Plus it was faster to replace them than it would be to tape off, spray and wait between coats to spray again. Plasti-dip is a great product for what it is, I just like doing a job one time. I know people have had plasti-dip last 2-3 years, but I would worry about it wanting to come off for one reason or the other since it's made to easily peel off.

No.

My truck is in the shop, has been there for3 weeks.

It was shuddering when braking and a weird chirp from the bottom right side of the engine.

Once I get it back I'll install them and will post pictures.

Just clean the red emblems with alcohol and install them.

I haven't had any problems.

They come with good instructions.

Went the extra bucks for the OEM and grille removal for proper install was a snap or rather a sharp pull after removing the 4 retention screws. Install it once and forggeddaboutit....and I don't have to worry when years of scrubbing out smashed bug bits with a toothbrush.

Thanks! GMC supposedly did not renew anyones permission to make these because GM is going to make them themselves like the black Chevy bowties, but have not have seen any info from the GMC accessories pages and dealer knows nothing about any black GMC ones! I will try these ones for now, Thanks again!

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
