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.

    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
