I asked about this before...i can't find the part number for the flowtie.  If anyone can find that part number I will be happy to be the first to try this when i install my winch bumper in a few weeks.

Just wondering if anyone has tried installing the Silverado ZR2 grill emblem on a RST Refresh Silverado.

 

 

No.  You'd have to do all of it.  Grille, headlights, bumper.  GM doesn't sell the double bar/flowtie piece separately from the entire grille, and its different from the LT/RST double bar/bowtie piece.  

 

The double bar piece has the center opened for the flowtie, as does the grille.  The outer red lip portion of the flowtie is sold but will only fit the ZR2 grille.  None of the attachment points on the LT/RST grille will fit the outer lip.

It can be done, and it has been done (i've seen it - that's where I got the idea).  The emblem itself is a separate piece and obviously some custom work would need to be done to make it fit.  But it's not a huge project.  Remove grill, cut out flowtie shaped hole, fab up mount for flowtie.  We just need to find the flowtie itself.

Hello, I think that the Flowtie emblem part number is: 84865799

Double check with the seller before you buy.

That is the correct flowtie. It comes with the chrome and red piece. It is slightly different in dimensions compared to the other Silverado trims. Didn't match up to my 23 High Country bowtie. I'll post pics when I get a chance

Are we absolutely sure of this?  Because I looked at that part number and at some of the other parts outlets, the description is "ZR2 Emblem, "ZR2" text"...which sounds to me like the ZR2 badge that mounts on the left side of the front grille.

Here you go. I ordered another one for my ZR2. It's the front Bowtie

Ok then i'll get that ordered.  Hopefully i'll have my lights soon so I can get started on the bumper project.  I'll post up when I am able to get to it.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
