Decal Opinion

I love my new black bowties, and noticed there are black decals available for the bed area. Has anyone installed the black Z71 stickers? Part # 23221557 ?

 

Think it would look good or bad on my 2017 Silver Ice crew cab?

 

For reference, the black/silver decal, and my current truck decal.

 

Thanks!

I've blacked out my Z71 and bought some stickers off Ebay for $12.95 that are very similar to the ones you posted. If they are not GM parts you could not tell. I say go for it, they look awesome.

The top decal is for Sierra trucks, the bottom one is for Silverado. Sierra decals don't say Off road.

There is also that sierra decal with 4x4 below the z71... obviously for the 4x4 models.

Looks great! Hard to install and get straight? Did old ones come off easy?

SIde note, what wheels are those? Look kinda like my OEM ones but black?

Oh weird, but good to know. That pic I shared was a screenshot from the accessories website for my truck at chevy site ha.

 

I like the splash of red in the decal, esp on a silver or blue truck.

 

Me too, kinda breaks it up, I am still debating :)

I vote for the black - different - the red I like too but everyone has them. U can always float them on with water or Windex, which allows for repositioning. Then squeegy out any bubbles. I always but down blue tape to line up to - But most peeps just eyeball it.

 

Here's a nice decal set I found for my 6.2L Max Tow............

Very simple to take off and install. I used a hair dryer to loosen the decal..you could use that or a heat gun, they peeled right off. Mine didnt leave any residue. And i just eyeballed it when i put the new ones on. My wheels are the stock wheels that i plasti dipped. Turned out really well. It was about a 6 hr process done right. Now, i know i like them black so if i want later i can get them powder-coated. Good luck!

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
