And colored bumpers and grille too. Those aren't cheap.
Don't the gauge cluster have a Z71 logo too?
It's a lot more than shocks and a skidplate.
Not all had colored bumpers for 14 and 15 Z71. I don't know that ANY of them had painted bumpers then. I think it changed for the 16 face lift.

But cost-wise it's dumb to convert a new truck when you could have just bought the one you wanted to start. Z85 or Z71, at the same trim level, they cost the same.

Yep, and also true Z71 have a locking rear diff. That's the most important part for me and no one ever mentions it in these debates of whether it's worth it or not.

Without the locking rear diff in 4x4, the best you will ever get is 2 or 3 wheel drive.

If it has the Z82 trailer package it has the G80 locking rear differential too.

The emblem “pad” is definitely built into grill insert. 

 

Main reason I wanted a Z71 was for the no chrome bumpers! Had to take the chrome moustache piece off and paint it black though.

Thank you. That looks like the badge. I actually am looking for the flat backer plate that mounts to the grill to attach the Z71 emblem.

Uh it’s part of the grill itself my friend there’s nothing to mount other than the emblem.  You have to have the Z 71 grill to mount the Z 71 emblem.

The older I’ve gotten the more I have realized the importance of ignoring stupid comments. 

 

Dont poke the bear back, just keep walking. 

 

Less drama that way. 

Agreed

If you dont have a G80, I HIGHLY suggest a Eaton TrueTrac rear end. I put one in my old truck and LOVED it! 

GREAT differential! 

 

It worked butter than the G80 in my new truck. The G80 seems to engage when it feels like it where that TrueTrac worked like better every single time!

 

Anyone know who makes the rear end with the G80 code?

Eaton makes them.

I think the Tru Trac is made by the same company that makes the Detroit Locker

The Tru track don't clunk like the G80 when it engages and is probably a better setup.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
