I just recently purchased a 2021 Silverado 2500HD with the High Country Package. The color is silver ice metallic and everything is either chrome, silver, or black except for the gold bowties on the wheels and front grille. I am picking up my black bowtie for the grille today but what have people been doing on the wheels that will hold up to the weather and abuse? I'm not going for the "blackout" look but just don't think the gold works with the color scheme. Thanks!

You might want to double check those center caps.  Bowtie on them isn't gold unless its got a different wheel on it for some reason.

I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but I did actually look at my wheels before posting this:

Yes, which I new already. The question is what can I use to make the bowtie black that will hold up exterior weather?

Those are exactly the OEM ones you are looking for.  But FYI -- the price is EACH so they would cost you $160.  You should be able to find knockoffs on ebay for much cheaper.

I bought black vinyl stickers off Amazon when I had my 1500. I was shocked, but they held up great.

Will have to wait and see how it holds up.  It said good for wheels and plastic.  Was able to get a pretty good prep so I have high hopes.  I think they look pretty good and I never did a clearcoat over the Duplicolor.

On the truck.  Now the wheels match the front and tailgate emblems.  I just thought the two reds clashed.

 

I will try to report back if I have any problems.

That looks great and is exactly what I am looking for. Did those letters just pop out of the chrome surround? I'm curious if I can get the gold bowtie to pop out......

The chrome surround is held on with some 'snap tabs'.  The letters are held on with their own snap tabs, 2 per letter, that go through the chrome surround and into the cap itself.  Neither seemed to have any adhesives.  The letters could be removed without removing the chrome surround.

I just popped the caps off the wheels and very carefully pushed the letters off while squeezing the snap tabs with some small needlenose from the back.  I did not pry on the letters from the front.  Was able to get them all off and and back on without a single break.

 

Good luck

Great, are the center caps easy to get off? I haven't had a reason to take them off yet. Thanks

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Sunroof Drain Hole Entry & Exit Location (w/ Pictures)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
