Badass. How hard was it popping off the bumper piece?


First one took a little bit of trying to figure out where all of the mounting points were. 3 allen screws on the top and then two under the step pad itself. Then disconnect the sensor thats behind the step . The whole piece is secured in the hole using platic clips so you have to pry those out to.Hard to explain without pictures.

I couldnt figure out another way to get to the bolts though, maybe removing the bumper would work to.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Very nice! Can you see the texture through the vinyl?

Yes slightly. I used VViViD vinyl but I know 3M 1080 is a little thicker but harder to work with but it might hide it better.

Didn’t like the plastic looking trim pieces above and below the sliding back glass so I wrapped them in gloss black vinyl this morning.

How hard was this to do and what tools did you use? I’m  Looking to do the same thing, only in carbon fiber.  Still haven’t decided if I want to use 3M or Vvivid.

You need a sharp knife, heat gun, rubbing alcohol and a squeegee with a felt pad on it so it doesn’t scratch the vinyl.

Look up CKwraps on you tube. He’s pretty good about explaining the process.

How difficult was this?  Online it says you have to remove the grill to install.

No. You do not have to take the grille off.

It's a 3 piece set. 

Just make DAM sure you have them pressed together good.

1 peice goes behind the grille. The other 2 front pieces, go ahead and press them together.

Then while holding the back piece behind the grille, snap the front piece( 2 pieces already snapped together) in place thru the back peice.

Thank you sir!  I am seeing them from as high as $70-80 through dealers and around $50-60 on Ebay.  What did you pay?

$68

Thru Ebay from Atlanata, Ga.

Was same day shipping and packages very well. 

So, the emblem should feel very tight and snug when done..

Again, just go ahead and snap the front 2 pieces together, them with your weak hand, hold the back piece behind the grille, then with strong hand press the combined 2 front pieces thru the back piece. Press like hell 2!

Gimme a PM if you need to, when you get it.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
