I'm curious if the inserts are replaceable. I know I can buy a whole new grill, but I'm only looking to replace the broken mesh. I would even go with the straight bar looking inserts like the z71 and I'd like black if possible. Unfortunately thru all my searching I haven't been able to find just the inserts only a whole grill. My mesh broke due to some wood thrown up on the highway so seeing if anyone has any links to places for just the inserts80f8083d06698c61cd0e9b01fa0db96b.jpg

Just have to buy locally on Craigslist or the marketplace. They’re not sold separately. I’m in the same boat. I want the high country inserts to swap into my grille.

Yea I've been searching FB marketplace and cl. I see some on there but can't swallow 3-400 to replace the whole grill for a cracked mesh insert. Would love either of these 2 grills but just want something not broken. Lol.
Thanks for the link. I never saw this site. Definitely appreciate it

Might check with some local body shops to see if the have any broken grilles out back in the junk pile you could rob the honeycomb out of for a couple bucks.

I’ve got a chrome set of inserts (like in your first pic) that I’d be willing to get rid of. Just let me know.

I've got a set of the high country inserts.   I tried putting these in my 15 LTZ z71 grille and it did not line up right.   PM if interested

What year are the inserts from?

Does anyone know if this is doable on the 16 to 19 grille too? My lower insert is broken in one spot and if I could get away with just replacing that, that would be great.

My 2016 also has a crack on one part of the grill from something kicked up on the highway. Luckily nothing got broken off, just cracked. I had looked into replacing and seems like the entire grill would need to be replaced and that would be expensive. But I have seen "inserts" that are supposed to fit right over the existing grill. Much more economical but I have been too lazy to try as I'm the only one that knows where to look and see it. Here is just an example of one for the upper in black but chrome ones can be found as well. I'm not recommending this seller, just showing it to you.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
