Timeswelding did you ever find the chrome parts for your grille?

i also have a 2017 z71 Silverado and I want to the same as you, it sounds like you have to buy the whole grille and take the parts you want off of it is this correct?

I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. On the factory grill, there are three gloss black "grill bars" that appear to be separate pieces from the flat black grill inserts. On the 2017 LTZ Z71, these three bars are chrome plated. I think that is a nice way to add just enough chrome to the grill to really make it pop, so to speak. Since I have not had the gril off of the truck, I am not sure how the gloss black grill bars are fastened on. Is there a way to remove them and replace them with the chrome versions? And if so, how would I obtain the chrome replacements without buying a complete LTZ Z71 grill from GM?

Just for reference, here is a picture of my grill:post-173577-0-51380300-1497270257_thumb.jpg

And here is a picture of a LTZ Z71 grill. This is the look I am trying to achieve:post-173577-0-61867700-1497270315_thumb.jpg

I would really appreciate any input. Thanks

I was actually fortunate enough to find a member here who had chrome and wanted paint.  We traded bumpers, grills, and headlight surrounds.  I couldn't be happier.

I'm in central California but if you're still up for trading please let me know and we can work something out. I have black inserts and want chrome.

What you need is PN 84056784. It's the LTZ Z71 paintable grill. The grills are modular, so any grill can go with any color. If you already have a painted LT grill you can just unbolt the painted parts and bolt it onto the painted one. 

 

And.. if you do this..  I will gladly buy the primered parts you don't use :D

Are you still looking to trade the chrome insert grille for the black insert grille?

I have a white Z71 grille with the 3 black inserts. Is your grille black or are you talking about the black inserts?

I am talking the 3 bars on the grille. I want them to be black, mine are the chrome.  Not the part where the bowtie is the smaller bars, where the Z71 badge is

The bars that you're talking about are the actual grill "core." 

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-2017-2018-CHEVY-SILVERADO-1500-FRONT-BUMPER-GRILLE-OEM-23380362-/292498548440

 

See this to get some idea of what I'm talking about. The 2016-2018 grills are modular. The outer trim clips to the inner and is held in with screws to that inner core. 

 

So if you had someone that wanted to swap to a black z71 grill, they would only need to send you that part, and you send them yours.  It'd be a viable option I think for someone going the "Blackout" look.

Anyone out there still with the all chrome grille with chrome bars (inserts) that they want to get rid of?  GM part # 84056776

Not the grill with black bars or mesh between chrome top, bottom and middle borders.

 

I am interested to buy, or trade for 2018 ('16, '17, '18 all fit) LTZ all chrome grill.  The inner bars on mine are chrome, but with a different design (see pic).  I would be willing to disassemble and trade inserts, too.  I really just need the inserts, as on photo of the orange Z71 above, but will discuss anything.

      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?

      side view camera

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.
