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

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

Does anyone know if there is an illuminated front badge option for a 2019 AT4?  I've been through the rabbit hole trying to figure it out (and it's not a question of availability, but rather a question of compatibility that I'm asking).

 

I was fired up when I say a potential prospect on Ebay but after checking my VIN they said it wasn't a fit.  So, if there's any  option that's out there I'd greatly appreciate a response.

 

Thank you in advance.

Was it mentioned why it would not fit on a 2019 AT4? From what I can tell in the GM websites, there is no mention of 2019 at all. Was this when the body style changed half year like it usually does for GM?

I tried to get one for my old 2019 Denali and was told the electrical connection is different than the 20/21 models so the illuminated emblem won't work with the 19 year trucks as a direct plugin.

Hey sharkeysierra and wurgs, thank you very much for the replies.  I was told by the seller, after supplying them with my VIN that it wouldn't work with the 2019's because of the connection incompatibilities behind the headlight.

 

That said, seems to me like there must be something that works for this model year, even if it involves some trickeration or adaptation.  Perhaps there's a kit that makes the 2019 Sierra connection compatible with the 2020+ plugs?  Not sure, it just seems like someone well beyond my scope of knowledge would've figured this out long ago.

 

I'm brand new to modding a vehicle, so I expected to be stumped along the way, but I do know that there are true "wizards" out there that find ways to make things work.  However, if there is a commercial plug-and-play available for sale to make this work I'd be more than happy to spend the money, so if anyone knows of such a product please let me/us know.

 

As always, thank you in advance.

 

Kindest Regards,

Just wire it in to come up with your headlights? The plug is convenient but the gist of the harness is just a red and black wire. 

Full disclosure on my part, even that is beyond my abilities.  I mean, I the red and black wire reference, but it's not something that I would do myself.  I may ask on of the electricians that I work with if they'd be willing to help with this, assuming it's as simple as you're implying.  Thank you for the comment, it's very much appreciated.

I have one installed on my 19' AT4 and it was plug and play.  I have a second led emblem I'd sell, PM if interested.  part number is 84741557

Thanks KillerOfMillers, I've sent you a DM/PM as requested.  I'm only skeptical because of the dealer that I'd originally talked to about this.  After he requested and I supplied him with my VIN he said it was not a match, hence the concern.  I'd love nothing more than for him to be mistaken, but I just want to be sure.

So mine doesn’t seem to light up with DRL but only with parking lamp or headlamp. Does anyone know any solution to make it work with DRL?

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....

Where did you find the diagrams?  I was able to download the PDF, but it would be nice if I could see the other diagrams listed.

Thanks for the reply John Spurrier.  I explored the link that you supplied but I do not see a fit/option for a 2019 GMC Sierra.  Perhaps I'm missing something.  Regardless, I've not really heard anything positive from those who have made this mod (e.g. it fails prematurely, it doesn't light up with the DRL, etc.) so I'm not sure if it's something worth pursuing unless I had more reassurance of it's performance.

 

Again, thank you for the reply, and if I truly am missing something please let me know.

 

Kindest Regards,

I have had mine since mid 2020, installed and removed on 3 trucks/1 SUV. I have never had an issue with mine with humidity or water in general. I had mine light up with DRL (which I did not like), My preference was for it light up as the actual headlights when the sun went down. 

 

I have 2 of them bought months apart, never had an issue with either of them.

Same here, had on my 2020 for a couple years now and no issues at all. Had a few in at dealer I work at though with issues but very few. People seem to hear one is bad and run with it.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
