Hey all, I'm wanting to de-badge my Silverado and was just curious what ya'll might advise for the most hassle free way to accomplish it w/o causing damage to the paint finish. Also any recommendations for a cleaner that will take sticker residue (caused from dealership stickers) off a truck w/o harming paint?

 

Thanks in advance! :cheers:

One thing I might add to the article Wingnut linked you to. Use Goof Off to remove the residual adhesive. I used it to clean the residue on my Z28 and it worked great. As usual try it in an inconspicuous place first. :cheers:

Try a product called "citrus solve". You will be amazed. Myself and everyone I have showed it to has been blown away by what it will do. It will remove the sticky gunky s**t left over by stickers and will remove the paint left from side swiping something. I am not a salesman just someone that has found a great product.

 

I guess the only place you can buy it is at a whole/natural foods store. I actually need to buy some more too. My ex used to work for a eco show and hooked me onto this product. At least something good came out of her. :sleep:

When I removed my Silverado and Chevrolet badgeing from the tailgate, I followed the method posted and I also used some road tar/bug/gum remover, worked quite well, just make sure you throw on a coat of wax once you are done with everything.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
