It’s an OEM one from the dealer. I had a $100 GM accessories voucher from buying the truck so it was “free”. Otherwise I think it would have been like $70 bucks. Pretty expensive for what it is, that’s for sure. But not nearly as expensive as the lighted one that was also tempting me.

Where did you get the gauge pod and how is it hooked up.  That is the one thing i would like to see is what gear I'm in.  At least the F-150's show what gear you are in on the DIC.

Thanks. Does the old one peel off and this goes on? I’m tempted to paint the factory one. I have the same black ‘19 Silverado and can’t stand that orange emblem.

Continued de chroming the AT4. PC’d the factory tips semi gloss black.

How hard was it to get them off?  I looked under neath when I installed my LED license plate lights.  Looks kind of tight with my big hands.

The emblem just pops off real easy. Took literally two seconds. It’s held into the grill by four tabs. I just used a plastic trim removal tool to pop one side off, and then pop the side other off. Didn’t harm the old emblem or the grill in any way.

 

The emblem has the colored insert and a chrome surround that is all one piece. You could certainly paint it but I’d still remove it to do that. And then you’d have to spend some time masking the chrome surround around the gold bow tie.

Swapped out the stock Bridgestones for Ridge Grapplers and replaced the red logo center caps with black logo at the same time.

What size Grapplers did you go with?

Its a little tight. Id suggest a cordless 1/4” ratchet

Stock size 275/60/20. They run wider then the factory tires so I didn’t want any clearance issues on the stock wheels.

Pained the front logo with Rustoleum Peel Coat. Hopefully it holds up.

I added the black lettering for "Silverado" and "LT" to my Satin Steel Trail Boss.  Debating if I want the black "Chevrolet" as well, but not sure I want it to stand out that much, thoughts?

Maybe another color inlay? a lighter gray or charcoal color would be more subtle and be the best of both worlds......

Curious...how did you do that?  I just did the front logo with rubber paint but this seems like it would be extra tedious with spray paint and tape.

Thanks guys for all the replies, I think for now I will leave the Chevrolet alone, maybe in the future do something.  I want to concentrate on an exhaust system, most likely a flowmaster super 44.

 

As for the black lettering, I bought this package from Chevrolet and they installed it for me for free with the purchase.:)

Had the front windows tinted and the put the ceramic solar film on the back windows.  Now that I think of it, I should of had them do the sun roof with the solar film. Guess I will have to go back.

 

I also changed the oil and filter.

I also added the Westin 4” platinum oval nerf bars to my truck.  I honestly didn’t see the gap in the original pictures when I bought them,  but it’s because the bars go underneath the truck.  Otherwise they look great! These had the best reviews on all the sites so I went with these.  Next time I won’t get 4” bars that go underneath.

    • 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. 
    • 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.    
    • 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.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
