I have a Chevrolet Silverado 3.0L 1500 LTZ Duramax Crew Cab with Standard bed and I'm trying to find parts for either a billet chrome grill insert or a replacement altogether.  Doing research and there is not a lot of info and the dealership is no help whatsoever.  Any help/info would be appreciated!!!

I have...A lot of items say LT or LT Trail Boss but there's no indication they'd work with a LTZ model even though the parts look identical.  I've tried to confirm if the LTZ grill comes apart in 2 pieces so that you can replace the grill insert but neither my dealership or other sources have been able to confirm that.....

Look at the comments for the rough country led grill inserts on their website They document some of the differences in the ltz grill.

You could buy an LT grill and add em to that then sell your ltz grill.

Any idea if the grills come apart in 2 pieces?  I would like to purchase this option from GM/Chevy but use the main chrome beam with the chevy logo from my ltz truck and just the black portion behind the main beam on this ordered part. Basically, I'd have to separate the 2 pieces on each grill and then combine the parts I want.  Then I'd hopefully be able to add the Rough Country LED inserts inside the main beam. Not sure if this would work or where I can find that info

Yes the chrome bar comes apart from the back.  I bought the GM grille and swapped the black bar with black bow tie onto my LTZ

Nice.....So, I should be able to do the opposite..  Do you still have the back portion from the GM part you ordered??

No I put it together with the original chrome bar and sold it as a LT grille on Craigslist

Trade your LTZ grille for an LT grille. Someone will. There were members here looking to trade those if they haven't already.

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
