Do the OEM black GMC emblems come pre-assembled with the black insert attached to the chrome?

I did mine the hard way, which the front grill removal is a B$%#.  Looks sweet though.  The rears are easy with a heat gun and masking tape.  A little harder since all the letters are the same.  Since

Thank you for your help! I just replaced my letters with the black... aside from some issues getting the new clips to “click” it was a rather painless experience! Pretty happy with the results...

Check out this vid - I really like how the gloss black and matte black turned out.  Does anyone know if I remove the rear badges from tailgate, am I able to reinstall them after painting them?  New double sided tape??

BTW the way you did this is the way GMC instructs their techs to do this. I have the official GM instructions and I can scan them and post them here if anyone would like to see them...

Hey all,

 

I installed the OEM black GMC letters on my AT4 this weekend and thought I would pass this shortcut along.  If you don't mind being a bit destructive and want to take the easy route - just pry the red insert off of the factory emblems and it exposes the retaining clips.  Insert a screw driver and they pop right off.  No grill removal required.  I had one or two tangs that didn't immediately snap back in on the new emblems.  apply a bit of pressure to the grill tab with either your finger or a flat blade screw driver from behind until it clicks.  You are good to go.

Firstly, Thank you for this, you saved me a lot of time.  But I have a small request  -Can you better explain the best way to clip them back in?  The G sounded like it clipped in, the M didn't sound like it, but seems to be OK, and the C can slide in and slide out (It's not clipping in).  Where are you applying pressure to clip them in...from under the hood with the hood popped?  A huge storm is about to hit my area, and I can't fit in front of the truck with the garage door shut to try to finagle this to clip in, at the moment.  Hope to get a response so I can clip it in first thing tomorrow morning.   I appreciate your help.

Does anyone know where I can find solid black metal or plastic GMC emblems for the grill and tailgate?  Id prefer metal. I don't want the chrome outlining the emblem. I can't find anything and or not sure if it will fit as most are listed as 2015-2019. I have a 2019 AT4.

 

The link below i'm not sure about?

 

Thoughts?

This guy makes all types of emblems. He made me this for my AT4 and they look great.

I am looking to take mine apart for painting. To do that I will have to remove the red insides and glue them back together. When you separated these were they reusable?

Very unlikely you’ll get them out without breaking them.

You can actually get the front emblems out if you just remove the air intake tray and reach your fingers through the active air flow vents.  you can also unclip a vent or two if you need to.

This might be a slightly random question, but it does pertain to the badges.

 

Does anyone know if the '14-'18 GMC badges are the same size as the '19-'20?

Looking at American flag overlays and haven't been able to find them for my '20.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
