Alright, so I drive a 2008 Sierra with the VortecMax package (the high performance 6.0 V8 and upgraded suspension). Paint started chipping so I'm getting it repainted, meaning I'll have to replace emblems.

 

All that to say, would it be frowned upon to apply 4th gen emblems/placement on the tailgate, or stick with 3rd gen emblems/placement? Pictures of difference between the two below.

Put on what you like. When I first joined the site emblem removal was the rage. I give a thumbs up when I see a vortec max. Wishing the option was still available. As well as the E-85 option for improved performance.

I see no issue updating the gen of "SIERRA" and "SLE" logos at all.   

Yeah I mean that's just it, not like I'm putting emblems of a trim I don't have on. Just updating style and where they're placed.

I put the 07-13 2500 HD and Silverado on my 2006.  It looked great compared to those old one piece badges they had before.

I say go for it.  I always wanted a GMC Suburban, have thought of removing my Yukon XL emblems for Suburban!

 

Done any mods to the VortecMax?  4L70 trans right?  14-Bolt axle with 3.73s or 4.10s?

Yes, 4L70E and 4.10. Mods, S&B CAI, Jet throttle body, Bully Dog BDX tuner with a custom tune I had written up.

Cool, have you ever taken it to the track to see how fast it is?

Just go for the Emblems you like.

I have replaced the LS trim-emblems on the Pillars with LS6 emblems :)
My truck has an aluminum 5,7Block 11,5:1CR Truck-Norris-Cam, Headers and matching tune, that is pretty close to being an LS6.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
