It’s the simple things that make a truck pop, right?

this morning I swapped out the black/chrome factory bow-tie with an all black billet one from AMI.

This is a ‘20 TB.  There isn’t a black bow tie listed.  I happened to have just replaced the RST bow tie on my ‘19 Tahoe with this same one.  They matched up...so I ordered another.  Fits perfectly.

Perfect!!   Thats what I did ...I ordered a 19 all black bow tie.  There has been a lot of question as to whether 2016 to 2018 and 2019 bow ties will fit a 20.  

 

Glad to know yours works, hopefully mine will get here early this week.

I got it on Amazon.  Better price then anywhere, but it’s available on anythingauto.com, carid.com, and the All Sales Website.

The key is that it’s for a ‘15-‘20 Tahoe/Suburban.  It will tell you it doesn’t fit your truck...but it does.

This is the one I got off Ebay.   They take offers and took my offer of 25 bucks!!!  I don't have it yet, but ill report if it fits when I get it.  The measurements and tabs are all the same.  All their stuff is brand new in package OEM product.  I've got my other black badging from them.

That looks like they painted the factory emblem...or maybe a reproduction.  I’m sure it will look great.  Anything to get the chrome off the front end...as you can see I also pulled the Z71 logo out too.

The one I installed is powder coated billet (heavy aluminum).  I’m an old school mini-trucker so it’s a bummer I can’t get more billet on there, but I’ll take it where I can!

I think they are a GM dealership or parts dealership....they seem to be active during the day.  Very responsive to emails.  I got my z71 badges and RST badge from them.

Maybe give it to someone in need of one.  :) You need a tailgate bow tie?  I don't think it will fit the front.    

 

Did they accept your offer???

      I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
