I went to the stealership and purchased some Chevy logos (2 side logos that say 1500, and the rear logos that say silverado and chevrolet).  All together it cost $100.15 for the four.  All I wanted to do was remove the writing across the back that says "chevrolet" and replace it with a more inconspicuous look.  It does look alot better and it was easy to do, but 100 bucks... rediculous.

Being a fellow base model owner I was going to do the same thing until I saw the price tag, too much for me.  I ended up removing all the decals on the truck and it looks a lot better.  In fact most guys w/ the chevy emblems end up taking those off.  I bet someone would just give there's away to you, all you'd need to do is get some 3m double sided tape to affix them.

Yea, but I'll admit I'm not cheap.  I'd rather run by the dealer and pay a little (probably alot) more than to find someone that has some used ones.  Just be too much trouble to cut tape to fit the logos that would probably end up falling off anyway.  I removed all my decals (chevrolet across the back and 1500's on the sides) but I didn't like how it looked; it reminded me of the true base models that don't even have trim, let alone any logos.  Now it looks like I have somewhat of a LS or LT.

Hey btw Chevy4x4, you said you have a base model yet you have a LT Silverado CD player and console?  Did you get that installed by the dealer, if so, how much was it for the stereo and the console?

Yes, I've been a busy boy.  It's a base model, very few options.  I picked up the cd player from a fellow forum member and ripped out the center seat and installed a console.  Next big project after the body lift is to install Power windows, locks, and mirrors.

I've got A/C, I just never use it, I can stand the heat.  Besides what do you need air conditioning for?  Are you scared to roll down the window and let people see you?

Yeah I never use my a/c either, even here in the hellish desert at 120 degrees, just open the windows and go.  I drive with my windows open a lot, it could be 120 out or 25 out, there at least somewhat open.

I drive with my windows down sometimes, but my a/c is always on.  Even if it's 30 degrees out, my a/c will eventually go on, after the heater kicks in and takes out the cold.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
