I too have a 2016 LT z71. The stock valance is 2 pieces. I took the bottom piece with the lips off and left on the top which is straight across. It was like 30 clips, I believe 10mm socket was what I used. Makes the truck look a lot bigger from the front, as it took off like 4 inches of plastic.

What lower bumper? Plastic belongs inside, not on bumpers. Haha

I don't think there is a black skid Plat. There's only with chrome or without

 

Yeah the base models have a black one, on the WT models I believe - seen them on my site. I'm considering swapping

Ive never seen a black one although my plastic is black and has the lines of a skid plate....maybe youre seeing the lines that make it look that way? Glad more people are wondering about this same topic, I knew I couldnt be the only one :nopity: From my chrome down i have 2 maybe 3 separate plastic pieces the bottom one has like 18 screws i would like to remove but heard less gas mileage?(somewhat important for the time being coming from a 10mpg truck)

ahhh you may be right. I could have been seeing the outline. Good call - I'll confirm today leaving work.

 

If that's the case I'll be wrapping mine with vinyl, win-win.

You are just seeing the lines in the bumper filler.

Hoping to get an answer from bringing back this old thread. Reading through this thread I want to make sure I have it right.

 

I have a 2016 LT with the black valence. I have the chrome piece, part #23243083 on the way. But if I understand it, that will not work with my current upper piece. I need a new bumper filler as well. Part #84029815. Isthis corrrect???

Yes

That's what I was afraid of. Guess I'll be dropping a few more dollars. Thanks for the quick reply.

      72 C10 headers question

      By mighty K20 · Posted

      FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch  I agree with post on worn mount rubber

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?
