Specifically what I want to know, are these basically 3 pieces stuck together?
6.2L plate stuck to the black plastic piece stuck to the grey bezel and that all is clipped to the fender or is it all one piece that cannot be separated?

I think they’re a single unit.

I had looked at spares to get for a custom project but they were a little pricey and didn’t want to blow $250.00 for a “guess”.

Theyre $120 from your dealer or $80 from gm parts direct. I ordered an extra set and sent them off for modeling for custom badges. I didnt even open the box though so i cant answer the original question

Before I ever saw a 2019 I read they were vents with something up front that opens at speed still have not figured out what they talking about but the engine does run cooler than my 2014.

I was bored today so I removed the wheel, inner wheel well and reached up there with pliers to release the clips to remove the vent badge. It's non functional and unless you use a dremel to cut away the plastic welds, the 3 pieces isn't coming apart.

I was really hoping it was taped on and didn’t have holes in the fenders.
Yep, holes 88fad2f21084193ec90b6c91d48e8abf.jpg

Well....that really sucks....

Yep. My idea for custom badges went out the window. I wanted to keep the bezel and remove the black piece to have a new badge made and insert it back into the bezel piece.
I don't want to have to buy a new one if I can't get them apart the way I need to.
Just by looking at it I'm not convinced all the tabs will stay on the backing once one takes a dremel to all the plastic welds to try to separate the pieces.

What if you try and remove the sticker portion from the black part? I was thinking if that would come off easy, I’d have new badges with AT4 made that look factory.

I tried getting under it with the edge of a razor knife and the way the black piece is molded around the edge where the 6.2L plate sits in there (recessed) I wasn't having any luck getting behind it and didn't want to mar up the black, so I gave up

You could likely get someone like Emblem Pros to make you a custom badge. Do the plain jane trucks just have a plain black cover? Other than that you would have to cut it out of the fender, weld in a metal piece, do body work and repaint. I think myself I would just leave it alone. imo

Did anyone ever have any emblems made? I'd like to cover up the "5.3L V8" and just have it say GMC or something.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
