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

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
