Added letters to the embossed tailgate on my trail boss custom, yay or na?

Did it a few months ago. It’s subtle to say the least, but in the right light it pops.

I installed the letters from bdtrims.com  They are very good quality. I ordered Domed style and in chrome.  https://www.bdtrims.com/letter_inserts/Chevrolet_letter_Inserts/Tailgate-Plastic-L

I went with Black w/ Red Outlined Tailgate decals for my Black RST.  (A friend at work did all red letters and I wanted to do something different since our trucks are almost identical)

 

I think it's much better than stock but more subtle than all red.

Love that look, I'd love to find something matching the Cajun Red with black outlines, just the opposite of what you have for mine.

That would be nice! I was just thinking the same thing, but I went with the blackout flag ones.

I still need to wash the truck and install them.

bdtrims.com says they can make any color combo you like.. Check out the site and tell them what you are looking for..

Just bought some matte black BDTrims letters on Amazon (not Prime, though. ?). 

 

I think they're going to look great on my Satin Steel RST, but I'm still a little hesitant. I'll tape them up first to see if I want to go ahead and adhere them. 

 

I think adding these is going to make my chrome "Silverado" and "RST" pop out more, though. I guess those will be the next black-out mods... then the chrome dual exhaust tips... then the front chrome Z71 badges... Lol

$40 is $40. If I don't like them, I can send them back to Amazon and get that $ back to put towards my upcoming Rancho replacement, once Bilstein gets their act together and finally releases the 5100. ?

Paranoia.  I've wondered this myself for years.  They don't want us to know their plate number because they think we have a spy in the DMV who can run the number and give us their address.  Hundreds of folks on the road see it everyday so that theory don't hold water.  If they are showing details of the belongings in their garage, I guess I get it....but pics of just the truck, no.  What it amounts to is one person started doing this long ago and now most of the internet followed suit (think lemmings) thinking it must be a good idea.

OR... there's some of us who like to keep our levels of online identity private. E.g. you know me as Econometrics, and I live in Texas. But, what if I shared a pic with my truck and license plate? Now you can go back and connect my face with my postings online, along with other comments I have made if you ever see my truck driving around town, or run into me somewhere. 

 

Some of us just have a higher desire for privacy. We're not worried about you stealing our trucks or shovels. ?

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
