Does anyone have a picture of a white RST with black emblems in place of the chrome? If possible one with a Duramax as well?

 

I'm looking at spending some of my Reward points on the emblem package for my 2020 RST with the 3.0.

I just bought the black duramax ones for the hood. Installing this weekend.

Shoot up a picture when you get them installed. I'd be interested in seeing them. I'm debating on getting the whole badge package (non-Z71) and changing all my chrome ones to black. I'm not sure about all the chrome badges when everything else is either black or painted white.

Will do. My plan is to do the tailgate next. ebay has some nice red and black RST badges available. The Z71 I cannot find in gloss black and may get deleted but undecided. 

 

Will post up on the duramax. I may also have some pics in my phone of other trucks, will look

The RST is the only one in the GM package I don't like since it is all black. I may look at eBay for a red/black RST emblem.

That definitely looks better. Hopefully, they are not too hard to put back on after removing the OEM ones. Luckily I just got the truck so hopefully they are not too bad to remove.

Thanks. I found a couple that I'm watching. I'm going to get the other black ones changed out first and then maybe get one like that.

Black looks sooooo much better.  

 

The silver metallic is mine

Agreed @fsuboy75. I just don't understand why they use the chrome emblems when that is the only chrome on a RST. SMH

Exactly why I went all black.  I couldn't stand some black and some chrome!

I can't find gloss black Z71 emblems either.  I've ordered two sets, thinking second one was gloss.  It was same.  I may spray paint them gloss black and maybe add a gloss clear.  It doesn't really look that bad.  The only time it looks awkward is in my garage under fluorescent light, the 6.2 on hood is super shiny and the Z71 is not.  I also am debating just removing the chrome Z71.

Spray it gloss black and clear coat it.    Looks better with than without.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
