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.

I agree with what you say as well. 

Buy once, cry once ;)

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.

The letters look great.. I actually ordered the same chrome letters last night.  Was wondering how they are holding up?

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

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
