Just ran across this today. Has anyone installed the new illuminated GMC emblem on their truck yet? I'd like to know how the install is and what it actually looks like in a truck. What's everyone's thoughts on them? I'm thinking of getting one but I'm kind of on the fence with it being too much. Part number is 84741557

I purchased one on January 24th.  Got an email from my local dealer saying it is on back order... will update when it comes in and I will include pictures with write up on install.

Any idea if this would fit a K2? I have been wanting one so bad since I’ve seen the Chevys.

Sold out nation wide and backordered.... let me know if you find someone who has one.

Found one on eBay at 80 bucks more than I found at another place who is sold out. Oh well. 

 

Will be here on thursday. Will need to tape and mask off the red so I can paint it black, but I'll install and report back with pics.

Ordered mine from shopchevyparts.com (direct link below) last Thursday (1/30/20) and received it yesterday (2/4/20). Installing today. Will take photos and update when finished.

GM installation instructions are attached in PDF format. I suspect that grill removal and headlight removal will not be necessary....

Just did the install. Took about 15-20 minutes. A few tips:

1. I would recommend routing the wire BEFORE installing the emblem. Would make plugging the pigtail into the emblem much easier!

2. Also, no need to remove the grill or headlights, everything is easily accessible by just removing the black cover between the grill and radiator (10 or so black "push-clips").

3. Be sure to route the wire over and then in front of the grill shutters, not between the grill shutter fins/blades).

 

See photos of how i routed the wire and one photo of finished product. It is not very bright at all in the daytime, Assuming it will be much brighter at night.

Awesome thank you for this post! It looks like the one you ordered came with the rear emblem too from the instructions it looks like both? I was talking with my parts manager at the dealership it looks like there are two options one that comes with the rear emblem and one without? Also it looks like it should work just fine for the 19 as well as the 20 is yours a 20? I'm pretty excited now!

You're welcome! The one i ordered (and posted the link to) does NOT come with the rear emblem also. And yes, the same part works for the 2019 AND 2020 trucks. Mine is a 2019

Looks good! Also curious how it would look at night! 

How does it hook up? Is it just an in line plug between the headlight and the headlight pigtail?

What year is your truck? The emblem already looks soooooo much better without that chrome surround!

Mine is a 2019. The lighted emblem (GM Part # 84741557) works for both 2019 & 2020 year models. Personally confirmed.

Yes, basically the harness has a dual ended pigtail... Unplug headlight, plug in one end of the pigtail into the headlight plug, then plug the end you removed from the headlight into the other end of the pigtail. Super simple. Here are a couple of photos of it at night (not mine)

    • 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?
