Hey guys I seen some cheap but good looking z71 4x4 emblems online that come in different color trims. Wondering if anyone has applied them to do their vehicle?

I have an All Terrain z71 but no emblems indicating that other than the All Terrain badges.

Why, are you afraid people think it might be a 2wd or something?

 

Being down in Texas I have seen tons of trucks adding 4x4 emblems (even on Denali's) to increase their alpha status, one guy on here even added it on his tailgate to "get the point across" and another has an aftermarket license plate saying 4x4 on his Denali.

 

Do what you think looks best, it will look like any other GMC fender badge or Chevy bed side badge you see running around. Probably cheap enough on ebay you could replace them every few years if they fade or peel...

Where as most people on the forum are removing those, someone is looking to add it.

 

I agree with amxguy though, other than the standard placement of those emblems that GM puts on themselves, i find it extra corny and funny.

I don't care for any alpha status or if people think my s*** is 4x4 or not I personally like the way certain badges look. I'm just curious if anyone's tried it. Edited by Andrewhtx

I Debadged my truck of all the factory and removed the Z71 stick from the box, and put Z71 badges by the mirror similar to how the GMC badges are and one where my LT badge was. have got alot of compliments on it

I'll be putting these ones on when winter is over and peeling the current ones, liked how they said Off road in the lower corner better

You guys really confuse me when badges are changed and added. Just about the time I'm getting familiar with the styles and placements I see another debadge or add-on I haven't seen before and have no clue what year or model I'm looking at! !

 

The only debadging I've done is the removal of those vinyl dealer advertising stickers they add on the tailgate. They even put one on right under the cab high stop light black piece. If you catch 'em early they peel off quite easily.

I added a z71 emblem to the grill on my 2014 all terrain. About $20 from my local gm dealership.

Yep I removed the dealers sign and license plates off my truck before I made it out of their state

 

This badge looks kinda bland and I was hoping to find something that looks nicer to go with the truck and if I do I most likely will change it out.

So I read a few posts on. Here about adding badges. I just received mine from Amazon. Look and feel like good quality.  I'm taking off the red Z71 and replacing it w a black one. Also adding  black badges on the fenders. I will post pictures later. Thx for reading.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
