I just brought home a 2024 Denali HD 2500 with the 3500 frame and springs.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the 3500 bumper badge so it reflects what the truck really is?

I am not sure what you mean by a "bumper badge" ? 

The only markings that differentiate the 2500 from the 3500 are on the lower part of the front doors. Those would be a dealer only item.

There is a black badge package that includes black 2500 & 3500 badges, but it's like $220 MSRP ot something like that. Maybe you can find someone that bought them for a 2500 and they can give you the 3500 extras... Other than that I'm not sure if you can get the original silver/chrome badges separately.

Do you happen to have a link?

Here's the link.

There is also a separate set that has the 2500/3500 with AT4 badging for the rest. However, I bet once GM gets the entire parts list up and running for the 2024s you'll be able to just order the 3500 badge by itself (maybe just in chrome though). Right now on the GM/ACDelco parts site you can only see parts up to 2023, while only accessories are shown for 2024.

But if the VIN is 2500, shouldn't you keep the 2500 badge?

 

It'd be a sleeper.  Like putting an Omni topsheet on a Works 01 😝

 

Good to see another slalom nut here!

Sure, but you don't have a 3500hd.  Your truck IS a 2500HD.  The VIN will validate and verify this all day long.  You have a 2500HD with NHT Max Trailer, which NHT Max Trailer is ALSO available on 3500HD.

The frame on the 2500 is the same as on the 3500. 
 

I’ll be putting the Mack truck bulldog on my hood………..

 

 

Not quite.  There is I think one or two extra crossmembers out back or larger ones.  The rails are the same though I believe.

 

@MTU Alum may be able to shed some details on this better?

As long as he is clear about what it actually is when it comes time to sell it, I don't see the harm. People clone old muscle cars all the time (Skylark/GS, Malibu/Chevelle SS, Cutlass/442, etc.), so as long as you're not trying to sell it as a 3500 then slap on whatever badging you want!

I bought the black "6.6L Allison" badges for my gasser and considered ordering the Duramax badges just to pretend I had a diesel. 😁

You would also need to load a nice diesel track in the stereo and turn that baby up as you roll through town

Well, I had an exhaust leak that made it kind of sound like I had a turbo, then I just make the diesel noise with my mouth as I'm driving along!

Maybe burn a pile of tires in the bed to simulate rollin some coal too as a nice finishing touch

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
