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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
