Took off what I can, left what I can't. Much "cleaner" look.

It's your truck, so whatever floats your boat.  Personally, I think it's a much "cheaper" look, especially at trade-in or selling time.  

 

Cheers.

Absolutely not true. I had a 2014 GMC All Terrain and de-badged it as well. The GM dealership jumped at it when I traded it in. Had no difference what so ever on their choice to snag it.

Seems like an appropriate thread. Dealer stuck their damned sticker on my truck(tailgate). How do I go about getting it off?

Dealer stickers come off any vehicle I buy as soon as I get home with it. They usually peel right off. Just clean up afterward to get any sticky stuff off.

If you let it sit in the sun for a little bit it comes off easier, just pick up a corner with your finger nail.

I make the dealer take all of their junk off unless they want to make some payments for me! 

 

Otherwise a light touch of a heat gun and it’ll peel right off. Isopropyl alcohol or goo gone will take care of any residue and then put a coat of wax over where it was.

Anyone have a red 2019 that they debadge?  I’m just curious what it would look like if I did. The chrome looks decent on red tho.

I have a 2020 AT4 carbon pro with the black AT4 badges and i'd like to swap those for the regular chrome AT4 badges.  Anyone have some lying around they wouldn't mind parting with?

I'm in camp de-badge. I removed the Z71 Badge (oh no, how will anyone know my truck is special) from the fender and the Silverado & RST from the tailgate. I also removed the fender badges from my Camaro and the pin-striping from my (wife's) Equinox.

 

I have always removed any vinyl (pin-striping, decals, etc.) I can as soon as I can. I greatly dislike vinyl on paint.

A little heat and you should be able to peel them off.  If that doesn't work buy a decal/adhesive wheel.  I just used one on my truck after removing the "SIERRA" badge and it worked awesome.

    • 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?
