I also installed the illuminated bow tie. I have a 5.3L v8 lt trailboss. I couldn’t route my wiring the same way because of the damper in the from grill area. I clipped my wiring into the grill itself and sneaked the wiring in next to the front left headlight really easy to install though. All the zip ties and parts needed included

I picked up a GM accessory illuminated front bowtie ($275 list price) from the dealer and installed it today. Looks awesome at night! Here is a step by step to show anyone else that wants to install t

@BeardBros got the bowtie and Z71 emblem around 8PM.  Got both installed in the grill relatively easily.   It's dark so no good daytime pics yet.   But I'm happy with how it looks.

Mexico. They came attached to the truck from the factory.

Isn't Chevrolet American Made?

North American Made, lol [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] 

 

Seriously though, my truck's VIN starts with 3. It was made in Mexico.

Determine if the number is "1," "4" or "5" to find out if it was made in the United States. Either of these digits represents the United States as the country of origin.

Step 4

Determine if the number is a "2." If so, the car was built in Canada.

Step 5

Determine if the number is a "3." If so, the car was built in Mexico.

Determine if the number is a "J" or "K." If so, the car was built in Asia. "J" stands for Japan, while "K" stands for Korea.

How did you takeoff the front headlight connector mine won’t come off?How did you takeoff the front headlight connector mine won’t come off?

I used a long thin flathead screwdriver to push down on the tab then I pulled the whole connector off.

I'm looking to get this for my 2500HD, and I can't seem to find any relevant posts.  If you all don't mind answering two questions, that would be amazing:

1. Will this fit on the 2500?  I'm assuming that it will because the Bowties look the same size.
2. The routing of the wires seems like it might be a little tighter with the front on, but do-able.  Any reason you guys think I can't leave it on?

 

Thanks a bunch.

Although I cannot answer specific your questions directly, I did take a look at what GM Accessories is offering for the 2020+ HD trucks and didn't see the illuminated bowtie offered.

I agree, but website doesn't show the High Country front end for some reason.  It only shows the lower grade where there isn't actually a bowtie.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
