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!

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 I've always believed you get what you pay for.  I live in Texas so when the package arrived the adhesive backing was already melting somewhat and caused the letters to stick to the cardboard packaging.  It was kind of a pain to make sure they lined up correctly.  I am a bit OCD though.

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

Awesome!! Thank you :)

Yeah man, those look so good. 

I agree with what you say as well.

Well, so far not so good.

I've tried calling several times after they opened with no answer. Just sent an email a few minutes ago. The reason for the calls and email is I cannot get the transaction to go thru because it keeps kicking it out because of the month expiration fate of all things.

All good now. It was actually the year expiration date that was the problem. It requires the 4 digit year code.

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.

Looks good! maybe one day I’ll spend the $60 for it or get the cheaper one on amazon. I got my RST from NorthPark Chevy, they had the best price in SA

Don't buy the cheaper one from amazon.  I did that and it was a piece of crap, single bolt stripped out as soon as I tried installing it.  Went with the OEM one off of ebay for $65 and it worked out perfect.  Even installed it without removing anything.  Looks better than the amazon one also.

I just got the OEM one and it didn't come with instructions, but do you really need to remove the grill to install it?

No u can make it work without removing the grill. I fed the backing pieces through the grill in the slot under the desired location. Then work it up and behind the grill where u want it to be. Finally you can pop the z71 piece into place and it will stay put. Hard to explain,simple to do. I was told this from another forum brother/sister. Pulling the grill is not fun. I had already added the led emblem and was dreading doing it again. Good luck!! Hope u have smaller hands or long skinny fingers

Thanks!  It worked perfectly.  Looks very nice with it!  I was thinking of getting the illuminated emblem, but I saw one in town, and it looked a different shade of color and it wasn't as bright.  My 2016 Camaro had the same issue with the color and brightness.

Anybody know where you can get the grill Z71 emblem in blue instead of red? Everybody’s doing red so I’m switching up to blue. But I can’t find the grill emblem in blue I’ve been able to find everything else in blue or in black if that’s my other choice but I cannot find the grill emblem in blue. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The Z 71 on the 2020 front grill is really really tiny. And I have not seen them anywhere but the originals if you have a link to anything different I would sure take it

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

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
