Here it is at night. Everything is looking good. Just need to figure out mounting and harness reroute.

Keep us updated. I want to add one to my 2018 Sierra but mounting is obviously an issue. I’m curious how to get it to work.

I know this thread is for real truck owners, but I do like the new emblem. I ordered one for my 2016 Yukon XL Denali. The logo arrived last night and I feverishly hooked up the plug'n'play harness that accompanies it. Long story short, it was integrated to my turn signal. I re-spliced the jumpers off the signal and onto the feed for my marker lamps. Seems to work now, but I can not tell it is on in the daylight. Obviously it is more noticeable at night. Also the logo illuminates when I turn on my fog light. might have to try another wire that is hot when parking lights are on. 
Question. 
Is the brightness/intensity satisfactory for you?
I wish it was a little more intense. Maybe it is not meant for a 12V setup. I will figure out mounting later.

If this comes together, I will update with some better pics.
The brightness could be a little brighter I feel. All of the pictures in the thread make it look much brighter than it is in person.

Part of it might be making sure it isn't distracting to oncoming drivers maybe.

All done with installing the new 2019/2020 Sierra GMC backlit emblem on my 2016 Yukon.

I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here is what I did in no particular order. No laughing allowed.  

 

1-------Remove old emblem.

2-------OEM (above) vs  Backlit (below)

3-------Grind protruding retainers from Grille. (retainers seen in image 1---)

4-------Use OEM backplate as a template to address inconsistencies with the new emblem/harness attachment points and mounting studs.

Worked out great for maintaining a level and centered mount!

5-------Hole cut in backplate for 12v power supply.

6-------marked and cut hole in grille. Also drilled hole for studs (drilled hole seen in image---3)

7-------Grind off seven clips.

8-------Slight harness splicing to correct lighting performance. (turn signal troubleshoot).

Used a Fluke Meter to associate 12v supply with feed manipulation.

9-------Drilled and placed backup custom pins.

I took some video but am new to posting and creating and modifying on all fronts. 

Nonetheless, the finished result has received many a compliment thus far.

Does anyone think the illuminated emblem would be easier to remove than the original without removing the grill

I get new trucks every couple years I would probably want to put the illuminated emblem on a new truck in a year or two

So installed the black one at dealership. Looked great then a storm hit us in Central Texas. Now the sob won’t come on. Had dealership check it again and it was working. Washed truck today and now it won’t come on again. Think I should have unit replaced ? I’m assuming the engineers designed it to withstand rain... so dunno if I got a piece of ****** or what?

Does anyone know if the harness that comes with this kit has a separate part number that can be ordered?  I’m interested in just the harness if possible.  TIA

It's all wired in together so I doubt it. To "replace" it you would need to rewire a new harness which isn't how they do things in 2020. They just slap a whole new one in since it takes 1/4 the time.

I think I posted too high of resolution photos or linked my google photos incorrectly. Sorry. Try right clicking on an image and select Open Image in New Tab.

I added the black overlay to go with the emblem on my AT4.

Overlay? Does it snap on or is it a grill replacement?

 

Where'd you get it?

It goes over the existing grill, uses 3m tape to attatch.  I bought it from Knight Ray Trim.  It was the only place I could find that would ship to Canada.  https://knightray.com/collections/gmc/products/abs6496blk-1

 

Just google the part #ABS6496BLK and you will find more sellers.

 

You have to cut out the hole for the camera if you have it.

How's the finish?  Does it "match" ?

 

Worry that the 3M tape will potentially damage the existing grill if you change your mind and want to go back?

    • My take: I don't think seeing up to 200k on the odometer of any of these engines/trucks (2014-to present) is surprising. (Excluding the known DEFECTS, specifically, the 6.2 main/connecting rod bearing issues, the defective lifters, alternatively parts that a recall was issued for - I think there were three.)   250K is my line in the sand, anything over that is 'surprising', but not limited to the engine making it that far but including the truck surrounding it too. (We've talked about this in other posts, why I think the engine isn't the deciding factor for ultimate mileage.)
    • I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.
    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
