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.

Not today exactly, but was able to add this Z71 Grille Emblem 

20190727_180559.thumb.jpg.32e7dea6e7c44f814376eec9c6a0973c.jpg

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.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
