Anyone done this? 

 

Since the grill on the RST is the same as the Trail Boss, I would imagine it’s a simple one?

 

I like the addition of the Z71 in the grill. Thinking of adding this and then getting rid of the Z71 badges on my RST front upper fenders.

Also added the chrome lettering on the tailgate.  I feel like all these little add-ons go together.  Sorry for spamming this thread lol.

I got them from here.  I got the raised dome style and not the flat one.  I was not concerned about price when I ordered.  Not sure about quality, I am thinking they may all be the same but then again

FYI, I am finally going to pull the trigger on buying and installing this on my RST. 

 

There's an actual 2019 part out for this now. A little more $, but looks like it will fit just right:

And / or via eBay:

I'm interested in the results. I came across the same part in my search, because I noticed the design difference and I want the right one. I haven't pulled the trigger yet though, I have a couple other purchases that need to come first. But if it works out, it will definitely be on my list.

That's pretty pricey for an emblem, but I'm curious to see it when it's done.  I'm not too fond of the badges on the fenders.  If on the side of the truck, I feel like it would be better on the bed or something like they used to be.

Yeah, it really is pricey. But I love how it looks on the Trail Boss. Wish ALL the Z71 package trucks came with the emblem, like they did in the K2s. 

 

I agree on the Z71 on the front, upper fender. I have considered removing mine, but I haven't yet. I would rather have the new 4x4 sticker on the rear bed panel. I think it looks sharp, as does the "Trail Boss" sticker.

I added the Z71 grill emblem to my LT.  

 

I went with the $60 from shopchevyparts.com.  

 

Removed the radiator cover clips, then removed the hood release handle bolts.  Popped off radiator cover and then started popping off the front grill.  

 

I left the bottom clips attached and just pulled the grill forward a bit.  I also did my illuminating emblem at the same time.  

 

Not sure if the RST and LT are different but I found some vids on YouTube on how to remove the grill.  Was pretty easy.

That looks great!  Thanks for the pics!

Thanks!  And you're welcome.  I had to add the 4x4 sticker too as it did not come on the truck.  I basically bought the truck for the sticker so had to get it lol.

Thanks! a lot of people don't like chrome and I thought I was one of them.  Turns out I love it!  I don't think I could go through with blacking the chrome out and losing the sweet sweet shine it has.

Where did you get these? 

I see them on Amazon and Ebay. But, are they the same quality as from GM?

I ask because yours look perfect. 

Thanx!

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
